New type of blood stream infection diagnostic chip comes out

On the 26th, it was learned from Xiangya Third Hospital of Central South University that Professor Nie Xinmin's team, in collaboration with a research team from Hunan University, successfully developed a microfluidic chip that can accurately detect six common bloodborne pathogens within 50 minutes, with a cost of only 30 yuan. This chip is expected to provide valuable "life-saving speed" for clinical infections in terms of diagnosis. The relevant research results were published in the international journal "Analytical Chemistry".
