The team’s device, created with 3D-printing and attachable to a smartphone, would allow lab techs to conduct DNA sequencing on the fly. In a test-run of its capabilities, the device measured up to standard tests that detect cancer cells from patients’ colon biopsies on a molecular level. The team’s findings were published Tuesday in Nature Communications. – READ MORE
