Nanopore System Can Measure Metabolites Simultaneously in Biological Fluids

Researchers at the University of Groningen say they have designed a nanopore system that is capable of measuring different metabolites simultaneously in a variety of biological fluids in a matter of seconds. The electrical output signal can be integrated into electronic devices for home diagnostics, according to the team who published their study (“ Direct electrical quantification of glucose and asparagine from bodily fluids using nanopores ”) in  Nature Communication
