Tulane device detects trauma blood clots rapidly | New Orleans CityBusiness

▤ Summary

Tulane researchers and Levisonics are testing a portable device that can detect trauma-related blood clotting problems from a single drop of blood in under 20 minutes. The battery-powered acoustic system is designed for emergency rooms, combat zones, and field hospitals where rapid coagulation testing is difficult today. Levisonics received a $4.3 million Department of Defense grant to support testing, protocol development, and validation with real patient samples. The device is not yet commercially cleared, but it is already available for research use by universities, labs, and pharmaceutical companies.
