• Zika virus diagnosed in minutes with proof-of-concept tool

  14-08-2017 12:38
  
  Zika virus could be detected more quickly in blood with a diagnostic tool made with gold nanorods mounted on paper.
  Zika test developers (credit: James Byard)Testing for Zika currently requires a blood sample be refrigerated and shipped to a medical centre or laboratory, which delays diagnosis and possible treatment.
  Although the new proof-of-concept technology has yet to be produced for use in medical situations, the test’s results can be determined in minutes. The materials required for
