DIAGNOCHIP: Design and development of a point-of-care rapid diagnostic system for urinary infections

  • “DIAGNOCHIP: Design and development of a point-of-care rapid diagnostic system for urinary infections”, CORFO, Government of Chile, 2014-2015. Objectives: The DIAGNOCHIP Project aims at the design and development of a point-of-care rapid diagnostic system for urinary infections, which constitutes an urgent need in remote locations without access to state-of-the-art microbiology laboratories and with prevalence of antibiotic resistances. The developed point-of-care lab-on-chip allows for rapid and visual selection of the adequate antibiotics, as the system in fact performs a rapid, cheap and sustainable antibiogram. In collaboration with: Diagnochip SpA, Hospital Universitario La Paz de Madrid, Hospital de la Ribera de Valencia, Hospital Puerta de Hierro de Madrid. diagnochip.cl
