Innovación tecnológica // CHEMTEST – UNSAM, ARGENTINA

A group of local scientists created an innovative kit
to detect infections in people and animals.

The line appearing on the strip of paper does not indicate a pregnancy. Instead, a positive result in this test indicates the diagnosis of an infectious disease. The good news is that early detection means that treatment can begin right away.

The device, as easily deployed in an urban health center as in the middle of a field in the countryside, is capable of detecting pathologies such as Chagas disease, hemolytic-uremic syndrome, brucellosis, foot-and-mouth disease and dengue fever.
