3D printed diagnostic tools.
Lateral flow testing is widely used for pregnancy tests and more recently for mass coronavirus testing. A team working at KU Leuven has developed a new 3D printing technique using porous polymers to produce advanced diagnostic tests quickly, cheaply, and easily.

3D printing technique for lateral flow diagnostics
A 3D printing technique developed at the Ameloot Group (KU Leuven) promises to bring the kind of rapid diagnosis seen with lateral flow tests for Covid-19 to other medical conditions. The goal is to produce a wide range of sophisticated diagnostic tests that…
