14 Mar Isomark test detects infections two days before formal diagnosis
A device from a Madison-based startup has been shown to detect infections two days before they could be diagnosed in a clinical setting.
That’s from a recent study published in the scientific journal of the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma. It focuses on the Canary, which was developed by Isomark to find certain biomarkers for infection by capturing exhaled breaths.
The study shows scientists accurately predicted which study participants would develop infections based on something called the breath delta value, or BDV. This represents the ratio of carbon dioxide in exhaled breath.
