Russian scientists from Saratov National Research University have created a device that can detect signs of cardiovascular disease, with one drop of blood in 3 minutes.
Scientists indicated that a blood test is currently performed within two hours to 3 hours, and if clinics are crowded, the results can be expected within a week.
Blood tests are used for certain indicators on a large scale during medical examinations, monitoring the process of recovery in hospitals, and in the careful diagnosis of some diseases.
Saratov University confirmed that the rapid and timely diagnosis will allow faster treatment of some diseases, such as coronary heart disease, which affects one in 10 people of working age in Russia.
Scientists have created a device that can detect more quickly from any imbalance in the synthesis of blood, as the sensor works according to the principle of wave guide, as it monitors changes in the great and small values in the spectrum resulting from the passage of light through the blood serum, and the device takes into account the presence of particles that disperse radiation and changes in the characteristics of the interaction of individual biomedical indicators with light.
“Based on a microscopic glass fiber with a hollow nucleus of thinner than the human hair, we invented a vital sensor that allows us to monitor deviations in the blood serum, where we have recruited volunteers with changes in blood standards that correspond to cardiovascular diseases and people Healthy, then we treated the data obtained and proved that the device is working with high allergies. “
“Without wasting the time of qualified cadres, and using chemical reagents and complex equipment, diseases can be identified in the blood serum in 3 minutes, in addition to using these data for clinical purposes to treat one patient, as the results of the fast scan can become a basis for collecting a database on public health during epidemics or to assess the effect of environmental exposure.”
The ability of the largest new device to monitor vital indicators compared to traditional blood analysis methods is due to the use of the total reflection of light.
