- The step is taken to detect and micro analyse bacteria as bacterial infection is a common cause of morbidity and mortality across the world.
- The developed kit can analyse charges on the cell walls of bacteria, just as it is used to detect blood sugar.
- The team work has got the patent for the development and was issued in the July 2019 'Journal of Materials Chemistry of the Royal Society of Chemistry'.
- It is a hand held device and consists of bio-compatible sensor that can diagnose time-critical illnesses.
