Researchers at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology have developed a new method for rapid, inexpensive analysis of blood samples. Its first application to be tested will be early detection of cancerous tumors.<\/span><\/p>\n

The innovative technology, described in Nature Communications, was developed by Prof. Tomer Shlomi and doctoral students Shoval Lagziel and Boris Sarvin based on a unique combination of mass spectrometry and computational methods.<\/span><\/p>\n

A mass spectrometer determines the concentrations of molecules in biological samples. Usually, this requires a preliminary, time-consuming and expensive process called chromatography that separates the materials in the sample according to chemical properties.<\/span><\/p>\n

Shlomi\u2019s research group devised a method that skips the chromatography step without significantly impairing the quality of the mass spectrometry analysis.<\/span><\/p>\n

The test is completed in just 30 seconds, thus shortening the process by about 98% and reducing its cost by a similar rate.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Shlomi, the novelty lies in a computational method developed by the research group. This method identifies optimal working configurations in the mass spectrometer, which allows for a high-sensitivity analysis for specific types of biological samples.<\/span><\/p>\n

The computational analysis also corrects the measured raw information and accurately quantifies concentrations of thousands of molecules in blood samples.<\/span><\/p>\n

Shlomi is a faculty member in the Faculties of Computer Science and Biology and a member of the Lorry I. Lokey Center for Life Sciences and Engineering. The research was funded by an ERC grant and by the Israel Science Foundation.<\/span><\/p>\n
