Cancer is a disease that everyone hates. Although the medical technology for treating cancer is now more and more developed, how to realize the early detection of the disease is still a difficult problem. The early symptoms of cancer are often few, and after a certain stage of development, a series of symptoms and signs are gradually manifested. In addition, how to make people more convenient and more accurate self-examination is also worthy of attention.
Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles have succeeded in turning the world's fastest camera into a tool for detecting cancer cells. Known as the "high-throughput flow-through optical microscope", the device was first developed in 2009 and has been improving real-time image processing and advanced microfluidics to complete new task. Microfluidic technology refers to the technique of controlling, operating, and detecting complex fluids at microscopic dimensions.
The device can detect breast cancer cells in real time in the blood, with a probability of error of only one in 1 million, which the researchers say is a new record. In addition, the new device can detect 100,000 cells per second, which is 100 times faster than current image analyzers. This camera can be used for early detection, as well as for monitoring the effects of drugs and chemotherapy on cancer cells.
Keisuke Goda, UCLA project director, said: "This technology can greatly reduce the errors and costs of medical diagnosis."
Of course, in addition to the cancer field, this camera can also be used to detect urine and water quality monitoring. However, the launch time of this camera is still unknown, after all, there is still a period of time from the laboratory to the real world. Let us look forward to this camera to face the market soon!
