Magnetofluidic sample handling for enhanced point-of-care diagnosis

该项目旨在破译最近发现的利用磁力增强混合和分离的机制，并将其应用于快速和早期检测疟疾和癌症。这种机制提供了新颖独特的流体处理能力，从而可以开发革命性的即时诊断方法，在单个设备上集成磁性混合，分离和检测。该项目的成果有助于降低医疗成本，促进澳大利亚人的健康，并可能在利基生物医学行业创造新的就业机会。

This project aims to decipher the mechanism behind recent discovery on the enhancement of mixing and separation with magnetism and to apply it to the rapid and early detection of malaria and cancer. This mechanism provides novel and unique fluid handling capabilities, which allow the development of revolutionary point-of-care diagnostic approaches that integrate magnetic mixing, separation and detection on a single device. The outcomes of this project are instrumental for the reduction of healthcare cost, promoting good health for Australian and potentially creating new jobs in the niche biomedical industry.
