52North - creators of Neutrocheck®

Excellent and balanced article in The Guardian today from Linda Geddes on the importance of lateral flow in future point-of-care diagnostics. Great to have 52North - creators of Neutrocheck® featured, alongside our partners Abingdon Health plc, and indeed our friends at Upfront Diagnostics. For those who wonder what's different about what we're doing at 52North - lateral flow typically measures things dissolved in the blood; what we're doing is measuring cells. This is opening up incredible opportunities for innovation and collaboration, and we're grateful to the many partners who are working with us to deliver solutions for unmet needs in patient care. #neutrocheck #52north #lateralflow #theguardian #pocdiagnostics https://lnkd.in/eRpUeMAM
