    Abstract:

Applications: The product is a system for rapid antibiotic susceptibility testing. The system comprises portable electronic platform integrated with a cartridge containing a microfluidic chip, interdigitated electrodes, and microheaters for rapid, real-time, and label-free antibiotic susceptibility testing based on electrical sensing modality. A portable impedance analyser with a port is configured for holding the cartridge containing the microfluidic chip for AST testing. The cartridge can be detached from the platform and the clinical isolate from the patient such as blood, urine, saliva, tear drop, buccal swabs etc. can be loaded onto the cartridge using pipettes, washed using wash buffers, and inserted back to the platform for analysis.
Advantages: The conventional techniques used to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of a drug against the bacteria are time-consuming (24-48 h) and prone to false-negative results. With on-board processing capabilities for performing impedance spectroscopic analysis, data capture, analysis, and visualization the tool can provide results of the test in under 120 minutes. The quantity of clinical isolate required for the testing can be significantly reduced.

THE VISION
THE MISSION
ABOUT I-STEM
It has always been the basic tenet of the Government of India, in generously funding R&D efforts at academic institutions over the years, that facilities established through such support be made available to those needing them and qualified to make use of them for their own research work
read more >>

However, this was never easy or straightforward for, among other reasons, there was no ready source of information of what facility was available and where. Thanks to the Web, it is much easier today to have a national and regional “inventory of resources”, so as to match users with the resources they need, and to do all this in an efficient and transparent manner.

This can lead to a leap in R&D productivity and greatly enhance the effectiveness of public investment. This is the motivation behind I-STEM.
