A Stylistic Rendering Of How The Test Works

Caption

Multiphase polymer systems are used to confine unique antibody-conjugated beads that bind with high sensitivity and specificity to plasma protein biomarkers, eliciting amplified luminescent signals. The signal intensity from the beads is proportional to the levels of disease biomarkers in the blood plasma. If protein levels exceed the clinical threshold, the patients are identified as having the disease.
