With detection limits getting lower and lower, it becomes possible to detect cancer before it enters its later stages and save patient lives using this technology.
Via a stress based interaction criterion it becomes possible to detect delamination in the adherends.
It became possible to detect, in a family or in the general population, people likely to develop a certain disease if they had the corresponding allele.
With the help of PCR, it becomes possible to detect DNA of specific natural products in processed drugs and audit the quality of CPM.
The bacteria are decorated with silver nanoparticles, so it becomes possible to detect individual bacterial cells one by one, i.e., perform electrochemical counting, due to silver oxidation on a working microelectrode (UME) biased at an appropriate dc potential.
As reported recently (T. Toraya, T. Kida, A. Kuyama, S. Matsuda, S. Tanaka, Y. Komatsu, T. Tsurukai, Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 485 (2017) 41 46), it became possible to detect unknown 1-MeAde binders of starfish oocytes by immunophotoaffinity labeling, i.e., photoaffinity labeling combined with immunochemical detection.
Since the transported substrate was concentrated in a tiny volume (1 aL–1 pL), it became possible to detect the activity of single transporters.
By comparing subsequent studies with the baseline study, it becomes possible to detect with more confidence tumour recurrences or treatment complications, and this at an earlier stage than is possible with clinical follow-up alone (Fig. 5).
Whenever there is more than one true variant within a haplotype under consideration, it becomes possible to detect SNVs with population frequencies below the error rate of the sequencing technology.
