Novel concepts to engineer low cost blood diagnostics

设计低成本血液诊断的新概念。该项目旨在提供下一代纸上血液诊断：廉价，快速，易于使用，可靠，特异性和强大。纸上和基于线的诊断中的转换方法可以使间接和弱血型定型成为可能。该项目预计，通过纸上检测纤维蛋白原来评估凝血能力，可能会彻底改变大量失血的治疗方法。该项目的预期成果是一类新的纸上和线上诊断测试，具有更高的灵敏度，可读性和更低的成本，这可能会对创伤，农村医学和发展中国家产生重大影响。

Novel concepts to engineer low cost blood diagnostics. This project aims to deliver the next generation of on-paper blood diagnostics: cheap, fast, easy to use, reliable, specific and robust. Transformational methods in on-paper and thread-based diagnostics could make indirect and weak blood typing possible. This project expects on-paper testing for fibrinogen to assess clotting capability could revolutionise treatment of massive blood loss. Expected results of this project are a new class of on-paper and thread-based diagnostic tests with enhanced sensitivity, readability and lower cost, which could significantly affect trauma, rural medicine and developing nations.
