Novel technology detects human DNA mutations
Researchers at today reported unprecedented benefits in the company's technology for the medical analysis of human DNA. genotyping...Robot-based system developed at Carnegie Mellon detects life in Chile's Atacama desert
A unique rover-based life detection system developed by Carnegie Mellon University scientists has found signs of life in Chile's Atacama Desert, according to results being presented at the 36th Lunar and Planetary Science Conference March 14-18 in Houston. This marks the first time a rover-based automated technology has been used to identify life in this harsh region, which serves as a test bed f...New technique rapidly detects illness-causing bacteria
Cornell University scientists have developed a rapid, less costly and sensitive new technique for detecting group A streptococcus, the bacteria that cause scarlet fever. Details will be announced today at the Institute of Food Technologists Annual Meeting and Food Expo in New Orleans. The presentation by Sam Nugen, a graduate student in Cornell's food science department, will focus on dete...Olfactory system detects pheromones that control reproduction
Howard Hughes Medical Institute researchers have discovered that pheromones essential for mating behavior in mice are recognized by the nose and not by the vomeronasal system, as researchers had long suspected.The new studies demonstrate that the main olfactory epithelium, which was presumed to be mostly involved with the sense of smell, plays a critical role in pheromone detection. Howar...'Virus chip' detects new virus in prostate tumors
UCSF and Cleveland Clinic scientists have discovered a new virus in human prostate tumors. The type of virus, closely related to viruses typically found in mice, has never been detected in humans. The virus's link to human disease is still unclear, and more study is needed to determine the relationship between the virus and cancer, if any, the scientists say. The discovery was made with...New Mammalian Two-Hybrid System Detects Protein-Protein Interactions
Stratagene hybrid genes are used to detect protein-protein interactions via the activationof reporter gene expression. This expression occurs as a resul...HSVision Molecular Beacon Detection Module Rapidly Detects Herpes Simplex Virus DNA

A prototype handheld detector under development at Sandia National Laboratories can identify the fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) of anthrax in less than five minutes. //Sandia's Laboratory Directed Research and Development program supported the work. Sandia is a multiprogram laboratory operated by Sandia Corporation, a Lockheed Martin company, for the U.S. Department of Energy. Fatty a...PET Scanner detects more Vaginal cancer than CT scans
PET scans can detect twice the number of vaginal cancer and cancerous lymph//nodes than CT scans. This was the finding from researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. An article has appeared in the July 1st issue of the ‘International Journal of Radiation Oncology, Biology, Physics’ and this may change the future gold standard for early detection of cancers of...Helium And MRI Scanning Clearly Detects Smoker Lungs – Research Find
A new approach of imaging discovered by scientists now detects even small smoking-related lung damages in healthy smokers//. A harmless gas, helium is now used to track deep into the smokers lungs and its movement - researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison finds. MRI (magnetic resonance imaging),a diagnostic technique creates clear and deep contrast-coloured images of lungs so...New Diagnostic Test Detects Avian Flu In Less Than 12 Hours
Federal Health Officials said on Monday that scientist have developed a new test called FluChip, a detailed influenza test//, which speeds up diagnosis of the most dangerous avian flu to less than 12 hours. The test can be performed in any laboratory that can amplify bits of genetic material, and it comprises of a microchip covered with bits of genetic material from many different flu...MRI Detects Early Heart Damages In Patients
According to a study conducted by cardiologists of Duke University Medical Center, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) can be used as a conventional method for detecting heart// damages early in patients with the immune system disorder sarcoidosis, who are at higher risk of dieing from heart problems. By using MRI to discover minute areas of heart damage before they grow larger, physicians...Genetic Systems HIV-1/HIV-2 PLUS O EIA (detects Ab to HIV-1 (M+O) and HIV-2)

PHILADELPHIA, March 28, 2007 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- MagneticResonance Imaging (MRI) scans of women who were diagnosed withcancer in one breast detected over 90 percent of cancers in theother breast that were missed by mammography and clinical breastexam at initial diagnosis, according to a new study. Given theestablished rates of mammography and clinical breast exams fordetecting can...
