Smartphone-Based Diagnosis of Parasitic Infections With Colorimetric Assays in Centrifuge Tubes

Citation: IEEE Access, 2019, 7, 185677 – 185686 DOI:10.1109/ACCESS.2019.2961230 Abstract A smartphone-based platform for the diagnosis of parasitic infections has been developed, tested and validated. The system is capable of making automatic and accurate analysis of millimetric colorimetric arrays in centrifuge collection tubes, which are well established tools used in clinical analysis. To that end, an Android-based…

A colorimetric strategy based on dynamic chemistry for direct detection of Trypanosomatid species

Citation: Scientific Reports, 2019, 9, Article number: 3696 Abstract Leishmaniasis and Chagas disease are endemic in many countries, and re-emerging in the developed countries. A rapid and accurate diagnosis is important for early treatment for reducing the duration of infection as well as for preventing further potential health complications. In this work, we have developed a novel colorimetric molecular assay…
