Rapid diagnostic device for brain trauma (NanoAnalyzer)

Portable and accessible in vitro analysis device

Currently, the diagnosis of traumatic brain injury (TBI) is based on expensive and invasive CT scans, with a 90% negative result.

The NanoAnalyzer detects – through a simple blood test – six specific biomarkers of TBI, providing rapid, non-invasive...
