  • Pictured is a drop of blood on a prototype of a diagnostic device developed by ASU researchers. It works by shining a near-infrared light-emitting diode (LED) on a drop of whole blood sitting on a water-repellent surface. The shape of the drop focuses the light into an intense beam measured by a second LED. Nanoparticles or microparticles in the drop begin to stick together when the fluid sample from a patient contains an infectious agent or a protein. This leads to the self-mixing action that enables detection of indications of infectious diseases and unhealthy protein levels.
