IBM micro-machine separates bio-particles for disease detection

IBM has micro-machined a structure which separates biological particles between 20 and 140nm into different size categories. Known as exosomes, these fragments of life are found in bodily fluids such as blood, saliva or urine. Determining the size (this IBM work), surface proteins and nucleic acid cargo of exosomes can indicate the presence and state of developing cancer ...
