»We’ll just have to wait for the results of the laboratory tests.« These words are familiar to many patients. It then usually takes several days for specimens to be sent to the laboratory and analyzed and for the doctor to receive the results. For many illnesses, however, a speedy diagnosis is crucial if the treatment is to be successful. In future, the patient might only have to sit in the waiting room for a few minutes until the results are ready. In a joint project, researchers from seven Fraunhofer institutes have developed a modular platform for in vitro diagnosis which enables various types of bioanalysis – of blood and saliva for example – to be conducted in the doctor’s surgery. »Thanks to its modular design our IVD platform is so flexible that it can be used for all possible bioanalytical tasks,« states Dr. Eva Ehrentreich-Förster from the Fraunhofer Institute for Biomedical Engineering (IBMT) in Potsdam-Golm.The core element of the mini-laboratory is a disposable cartridge made of plastic which can be fitted with various types of sensor. For an analysis the doctor fills the cartridge with reagents – binding agents which indicate the presence of certain substances such as antigens in the specimen material. Various tests or assays are available for different types of analysis. To perform an assay, the doctor only has to place the relevant substances in the cartridge and the test then takes place automatically. »We have optimized the assays so that up to 500 assay reactions can be conducted in parallel in a single analysis step,« explains Dr. Ehrentreich-Förster. Even in the case of complex analyses the doctor obtains a result within about 30 minutes. A new module on the reverse side of the cartridge also makes it possible to analyze the specimen material at DNA level.Once the cartridge has been prepared, the doctor places it in the measurement system. The results can be read out with either optical or electrochemical biosensors. The researchers have installed a readout window for both methods in the measurement system, which features a bypass through which the specimen is pumped.
GeoSols Consulting on 15 Mar 211. Use 250 gm of rock salt in a bucket of water to mop the floors of your room. Sprinkling rock salt all over the floor is not effective at all. If the rooms are too big, take another bucket of water with 250 gm of rock salt again for mopping. If you think that the direction of your toilet is wrong according to vaastu, place ½ kg rock salt in a glass container at a safe height where you don't have to cover it or it shouldn't get wet. Change this every month. The salt will absorb all the negative energy of the toilet. Don't flush the salt that you change every month. Also, don't dispose of the salt in any water body or under any tree. Simply, dispose of it in an empty plot outside. 2. If you want to want to place an auspicious picture in your room, you can use our nine lucky sign picture. Place it in your entrance where everyone can see it. It is a lucky sign that can be placed in any direction and resembles auspiciousness. Try to avoid placing horse-shoe in your room since they can absorb negative energies from multiple directions. 3. Place mirrors only in the north-east, north or east direction but ensure that no staircase or fire or any other dangerous thing is reflected on the mirror. If there is a shaft in your bathroom, then to complete it you can place mirrors on both sides but the pot should not be reflected on it. If your mirror is placed in any other directions other than north-east, north or east, keep it covered since the results can be quite bad. 4. Get rid of any broken pieces of glass, cracked mirror, clocks that don't work anymore, spider web, broken statues from home. Don't place things like dustbin, broom, shoes, weird pictures like pictures of animals, or excessive water in the north-east. 5. You can use earthen pots for your plants. If you are placing any money plant in the north direction, make sure the pot is not red. It can be off-white, white, cream, green or even blue. Pots are auspicious but choose the color according to the
