1. Sensitive Real-Time Detection
of Salmonella Typhimurium
Salmonella is a gram negative enterobacteria that can cause salmonellosis, a serious bacterial toxi-infection syndrome. Approximately 40,000 cases of salmonellosis, and an estimated 400 associated deaths, are reported in the United States annually.
|
| Current detection methods for Salmonella contamination in foodstuffs often require extensive sample preparation and prolonged assay procedures. Development of rapid, specific, and sensitive methods for detection of Salmonella is essential for public health protection, risk assessment and disease management. |

2. Detection of Total Prostate
Specific Antigen in Serum
Employing the QCMA-1 Molecular Analysis System in Point-of-Care testing for prostate cancer diagnosis
|
Prostate cancer is the most common form of cancer for European men, with 301,500 cases reported annually1. Early detection is critical as there is no cure once it spreads to other
organs. Increased levels of prostate specific antigen (PSA) is a primary indicator of prostate malignancy, making it an ideal biomarker for cancer diagnosis. As PSA testing is typically performed in centralized laboratories using slow and expensive procedures, there is a need to develop a fast, simple and cost effective detection methods. |
