For instance, are the levels of anthrax LF toxin that this assay can detect, pathogenic at these concentrations. Also, I wonder how quickly this assay can actually be run.
It is, however, obviously a fantastic step forward it terms of detecting anthrax for early treatment.]]> Thu, 19 Mar 2009 06:25:12 GMT http://www.scientistsolutions.com/t9551-fda+looking+toward+nanotechnology+test+for+anthrax+detection.html Wed, 18 Mar 2009 21:38:27 GMT http://www.scientistsolutions.com/t9551-fda+looking+toward+nanotechnology+test+for+anthrax+detection.html "The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has completed a "proof-of-concept" study of a test that quickly and accurately detects the presence of even the smallest amount of the deadly anthrax toxin.
"The FDA findings could form the basis of a test that allows earlier diagnosis of anthrax infection than currently possible," said Indira Hewlett, Ph.D., the senior author of the study and chief of the Laboratory of Molecular Virology, Office of ...]]> Wed, 18 Mar 2009 18:00:15 GMT
