Rapid Bacterial Separation from Blood Using a Spinning Disk ID: 2017-051
A groundbreaking method for swiftly separating bacteria from blood samples, enhancing diagnostics and treatment of infections.
Technology Overview
This technology introduces a novel approach to separating bacteria from blood using a specially designed hollow rotating device, diverging from traditional methods by employing a disk or sphere shape instead of cylindrical tubes. Utilizing calcium chloride and optionally ADP as clotting agents, this device spins blood at high speeds to facilitate differential sedimentation, allowing for the rapid sedimentation of blood components and the preservation of bacterial content in the plasma for extraction. This method significantly accelerates the bacterial separation process, promising a substantial reduction in diagnostic times for blood infections.
Key Advantages
- Significantly reduces the time required for bacterial separation from blood samples
- Preserves the integrity of bacterial content for accurate diagnostic testing
- Facilitates a faster diagnosis of blood infections, aiding in the timely administration of appropriate treatments
- Designed for easy integration into clinics and hospital laboratories, particularly benefiting those with urgent diagnostic needs
Problems Addressed
- Delays in the diagnosis of blood infections due to slow bacterial separation methods
- Inefficiencies in separating bacteria from blood components, impacting diagnostic accuracy
- Limited availability of rapid diagnostic tools for identifying antibiotic-resistant bacteria in blood infections
Market Applications
- Hospitals and clinics requiring rapid diagnostic tools for blood infections
- Laboratories specializing in the identification of antibiotic-resistant bacteria
- Medical device distributors focusing on innovative diagnostic solutions
- Healthcare settings in developed countries seeking to enhance their diagnostic capabilities
