  • Publication number: 20210255186
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides micro-array devices for capturing cells in blood and methods of their use. In some aspects, a method for counting cells in a blood sample is provided, the method comprising applying a blood sample onto a CNT device; allowing cells in the blood sample to differentially settle on the CNT device, and identifying and counting cells of preselected type in the blood sample.
    Type: Application

  • Patent number: 10946382
    Abstract: Systems, methods, techniques, devices and apparatuses for detecting cancer. A handheld device which performs an automated analysis from a droplet of whole blood for other bodily fluid. The device is inexpensive, non-invasive, easy to use, and easily transportable, enabling better screening for a wider range of diseases, enabling the detection of metastases at an earlier stage, when interventions are more effective, enabling regular monitoring of patients receiving therapy or those in remission, and enabling a major contribution to the growing body of scientific evidence on how to treat certain cancers based on information gathered about the genomic profile of a tumor. In short, the present invention saves more lives, with fewer resources, and causing minimal harm than prior art techniques.
