Micro electronic nose detects cancer through body odor

Recently, scientists from Cambridge University, England have successfully developed ultra-small electronic nose can detect early diseases such as cancer, tuberculosis . without experiencing complicated tests review.

Animals like dogs and cats are always famous for their super-developed and super-sensitive sense of smell. They have even been shown to be able to detect early cancer or tuberculosis, epilepsy . diseases that people must also rely on a range of new tests to know, just by using the hives my senses.

Based on that idea, scientists have now invented an electronic nose , essentially a micro-electronic artificial microchip , with the same function, to help detect diseases only through body smell.

With a super-small shape, this type of IC (on the left) acts as an electronic nose, helping to detect disease through body odor.(Illustration)

Scientists at the University of Cambridge, UK, are developing an artificial circuit, containing sensors, to help analyze the elements, chemical elements emitted from body odor or human breath, Helps to detect and treat diseases such as cancer, epilepsy early . without the need for complicated tests.

With the current success, scientists have created the working version of this type of IC, surprisingly from its ultra-small size, while still containing all kinds of sensors.

The principle of operation of this circuit is due to the spectrum of biological compounds, chemicals released from the body. Each chemical has its own spectrum, the task of this microchip is to identify all the substances that appear in the spectrum it receives, if any chemical is detected as an expression of a For specific diseases, they will trigger a microchip warning system.

The development of this type of electronic nose will help identify diseases without undergoing testing.(Illustration)

The study published today that microchips can detect diseases such as cancer, tuberculosis, asthma, epilepsy detection, with a high accuracy rate.

The study comes from a military project, which helps identify airborne chemicals or warn of harmful components, but with the development of technology for life, the circuit. It is promised to help identify diseases quickly, easily and least costly. Currently they are being studied, increasing accuracy and enhancing features.
