Handheld diagnostic lab offers point-of-care solution for future pandemics

Using swarms of pinhead-sized magnets inside a handheld, all-in-one lab kit, researchers have developed a technology that could significantly increase the speed and volume of disease testing, while reducing the costs and usage of scarce supplies. The automated tests can be easily manufactured, deployed and performed timely at a doctor's office, health clinic or at mass testing sites in airports and schools at the onset of any major infectious disease.
