Raman-Based Urine Sensor Detects Cancer Metabolites

Researchers at the Korea Institute of Materials Science (KIMS) creaetd a Raman-spectroscopy-based urine test that can detect metabolic compounds that are produced by pancreatic and prostate cancers, potentially allowing for rapid and convenient cancer screening. The technology consists of a paper strip onto which a urine sample can be added. The paper contains ‘coral-shaped’ structures … Continue reading Raman-Based Urine Sensor Detects Cancer Metabolites
