Project description

The development of an inexpensive, easy to use and sensitive (1PG / ml) diagnostic device which is able to carry out a rapid and multiplexed screening of biomarkers of infectious pathogens in a non-invasive samples (urine, saliva, keelswabs etc.) . The unit will have a low cost (2000-5000 euro); will work with cheap disposables (5-15 euros) and will provide an easily interpretable results.
