Separation of different sized nanoparticles with time using a rotational flow

This reports the development of a medical diagnostic tool with the potential to be manufactured cheaply and provide a reliable and sensitive indicator of disease. This is a culmination of collaborative research between the Oxford John Radcliffe Hospital, Engineering Science and Pusan National University, Korea. Trials using biological samples are being planned as part of an evaluation study. Our unique approach is to exploit the role of nanovesicles in cellular communication, where evidence indicates that isolation of these cellular derived vesicles can be practical biomarkers for detection of disease at the earliest stage.
