“Tiny Sensor Detects Cancer Cells Through Multiple Channels at The Same Time”

"Tiny Sensor Detects Cancer Cells Through Multiple Channels at The Same Time" - Health Council

“While microfluidic devices that can help detect disease biomarkers can get pretty small, they often require a microscope to read the results, negating the size advantage. Researchers at Georgia Tech have developed an electronic sensor that can detect cancer cells flowing through many channels of a microfluidic device simultaneously. The ability to use a single electronic signal to spot more than one cell at a time across the different channels was possible by borrowing data encoding techniques from CDMA, the data transmission alternative to GSM that’s used by Verizon and Sprint for cell phones on their networks in the U.S.”
