In individuals with HIV, however, immune suppression can allow latent TB to become active, increasing disease transmission and mortality. The device mimics this process by combining two chemicals to propel the blood sample across a microfluidic chip. Tools like ASTRA that enhance diagnostic capabilities in high-risk populations could play an important role in controlling disease spread. Reference: Ning B, Chandra S, Pan Y, et al. The device also performed well in HIV-negative individuals. Roughly the size of a credit card, the device is designed for low-resource settings.
