Article Synopsis
- A new handheld point-of-care (PoC) device was developed for viral detection, achieving PCR-level sensitivity and specificity in under 40 minutes, which includes a quick 15-minute sample preparation.
- The device utilizes a novel technique called pulse controlled amplification (PCA) that rapidly heats small sample volumes using electrical pulses.
- Finite element analysis was used to optimize the device's performance, demonstrating its capability to detect SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA at levels as low as 0.88 copies/μL, making it comparable to traditional RT-qPCR methods.
Bone regeneration requires porous and mechanically stable scaffolds to support tissue integration and angiogenesis, which is essential for bone tissue regeneration. With the advent of additive manufacturing processes, production of complex porous architectures has become feasible. However, a balance has to be sorted between the porous architecture and mechanical stability, which facilitates bone regeneration for load bearing applications.
