Diagnostic Tests for Diseases and Disorders

Diagnostic Tests for Medical Diseases and Disorders

Screen body fluids (blood, urine, sweat, etc.) to detect changes (to cells, proteins, ions, enzymes, fats, sugars, etc.) or changing cell ratios caused by disease.

Screen Body Fluids

Sequence a piece of DNA to discover mutations and determine the best treatment. Use supercomputers and "bioinformatics" to analyze the huge DNA sequence data files.

DNA Decoder

Body fluid samples are poured over a slide containing millions of molecular sensors, leaving a glowing pattern, or "signature" where matching molecules bond.

Biosignature

Collect cells from organs and bodily fluids and put them in a petri dish. If microbes grow, you can confirm the infection!

Culture & Classify

A camera reveals color variations, injuries, and other changes in organs and tissues from inside the body that x-rays and other scans cannot see as well from the outside.

Body Cam

Take tissue samples or cell swabs from the body and stain them with dye. Under a microscope, staining patterns reveal the cause or type of the disease.

Sample, Stain, & Magnify

Use MRI, CAT scans, and other imaging tests to provide in-depth, 3D computer analysis of organs and tissues from outside the body.

Scan & Image

Applying stress to organs makes them produce abnormal signals when they are diseased. This test then measures those levels.

Stress & Measure

Non-invasive, wearable sensors screen biosignals emanating from biomarkers within the body, in real time.
