New system uses a rotating magnetic field to detect pathogens
Article Abstract:
A new technique which uses a magnetic field to separate tiny magnetic particles was developed by Purdue and Duke University researchers. This can be applied in diagnosing disease from test samples, since pathogens could be attracted to magnetic particles. Other features of the new method and its potential impact to the biotechnology industry are discussed.
