The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- Researchers at IIT Palakkad have developed fluorescent sensors that can quickly measure heparin levels in blood.
- Heparin is an anticoagulant used in cardiac surgery, dialysis and blood transfusions, and incorrect dosing can cause clotting or excessive bleeding.
- The sensors emit a bright yellow-green signal that weakens when heparin is present, allowing measurement with simple equipment.
- The sensor molecules can be made in a single step, which could lower production costs, and they work in complex samples like human serum.
- The technology could lead to point-of-care devices for patients on anticoagulant treatment, but needs further testing before clinical use.
What to watch next
- Further development and testing needed before clinical use
- Potential development into point-of-care diagnostic devices
