Polymer-protected DNA sensors enable two-month storage for 50-cent disease diagnostics
Using an inexpensive electrode coated with DNA, MIT researchers have designed disposable diagnostics that could be adapted to detect a variety of diseases, including cancer or infectious diseases such as influenza and HIV.
