"Revolutionary $5 Saliva Test Detects Breast Cancer in Seconds"

A new handheld biosensor device, costing only $5, is capable of accurately testing for breast cancer in less than five seconds using just a small sample of saliva. Developed by researchers at the University of Florida and National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University in Taiwan, the device uses common components such as glucose testing strips and an open-source Arduino platform. It provides highly efficient and cost-effective breast cancer screening, making it a revolutionary alternative to traditional methods like mammograms and MRIs, particularly in regions with limited access to advanced medical technologies. The device has the potential to enable early breast cancer detection worldwide and has been shown to provide accurate results even with very low biomarker concentrations.
