Spontaneous diagnosis

The
technology developed by Thames Water, the British water company Thames Water, will allow us to detect three hours before the beginning of the production of the parasite Cryptosporidium, which causes diarrhea and nausea. A breakthrough. And so far systems need days to do the same.

Fluorescence stained antibodies adhere to the membrane of the Cryptosporidium oocyst. Once the sample is filtered, it passes through a laser based scanner, which separates any fluorescent particle and “denounces” that Cryptosporidium oocyst is wavelength and to some extent.
