A MINIATURE DIAGNOSTIC DEVICE FOR SERUM CHOLESTEROL

Enzymatics，Inc. 开发了一种酶比色技术 允许创建定量的、一次性的、独立于仪器的 用于体液中分析物的诊断装置。 这一目标 赠款是为了完成一个原型设备的开发， 血液中总胆固醇的含量，并评估原型。 具体 研究涉及影响速度、准确性、 和设备的精度。 原型评估将涉及有限的 临床试验 成功原型的商业化将 显著降低常规胆固醇测定的成本， 胆固醇测定的快速性和提高的可靠性 测量.

Enzymatics, Inc. has developed an enzyme-based colorimetric technology that allows creation of quantitative, disposable, instrument-independent diagnostic devices for analytes in bodily fluids. The objectives of this grant are to complete development of a prototype device for determination of total blood cholesterol, and to evaluate the prototype. Specific research deals with refinements of factors influencing the speed, accuracy and precision of the device. Prototype evaluation will involve a limited clinical trial. Commercialization of the successful prototype will significantly lower the cost of routine cholesterol determination, increase rapidity of cholesterol determination and improve reliability of measurements.
