Abstract
This handheld device is the first that can detect tuberculosis in saliva, in addition to blood and sputum samples, an important breakthrough for testing children and HIV patients, who struggle to produce sputum. The device was found to deliver rapid, accurate results in under an hour, offering a cost-effective and accessible solution for diagnosing TB in resource-limited areas.
