Novel Reference Biosensor to Aid Development of Calibrated, Standardised Diagnostic Devices

Researchers at the National Physical Laboratory (NPL), in collaboration with Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, and the University of Tampere, Finland, have developed a novel reference biosensor to aid the development of calibrated and standardised diagnostic devices. The main intention of this work is to have a reproducible system that could be used to normalise and compare data and test new diagnostic devices to validate claims concerning sensitivity and detection limits.
