Researchers at the Ångström Laboratory in Uppsala, Sweden have discovered a new method to manufacture nanomaterial sensors so that it becomes possible to for example measure different components of body liquids, i.e. blood or amniotic fluid.
Nanexa AB, the company that now owns this technology, has recently signed an exclusive agreement with Neoventa Medical AB to develop this very promising technology with in the perinatal care area.
