parvez discovered 3 months ago- One of the loftier dreams of personalized medicine is to detect and eliminate tumors before they become life threatening--before they are even visible on medical images. Now a Cambridge, MA, startup called Quanterix is developing an extremely sensitive protein-detection technology that can count single molecules--and could potentially detect the trace amounts of characteristic proteins that tiny tumors release into the blood. Lab on a tip: Wells carved into the tip of an optical fiber allow researchers to detect single proteins in blood samples. Each well in this image is about 2.5 micrometers in diameter and sits at the tip of an individual thread of an optical fiber.
