"Point of Injury" Sampling Technology for Battlefield Molecular Diagnostics
Abstract
The overall aim of this project is to develop a diagnostic field test that can be used to detect traumatic brain injury and late stage shock from a drop of blood taken from a finger stick. For Phase I, the goal is to develop the sample processing technology that takes blood from a finger stick and produces purified and concentrated plasma, within which we can detect rare blood-borne biomarkers. The technology should enable a portable system that can be set up in a remote location and enable clinical diagnosis of a variety of conditions. The system will be accompanied with disposable cassettes that are specific to the test.
