New Graphene-based Antibody Test Developed for Detecting Kidney Disease

The system could also be adapted to test for antibodies to foreign proteins or viral infections, such as COVID-19.

An interdisciplinary team of researchers from The University of Manchester has developed a new graphene-based testing system for disease-related antibodies, initially targeting a kidney disease called Membranous Nephropathy.   The new instrument, based on the principle of a quartz-crystal microbalance (QCM) combined with a graphene-based bio-interface, offers a cheap, fast, simple and sensitive alternative to currently available antibody tests.   “Our research has the potential to ...
