Device for Removal of Amylase from Body Fluids (Yissum)

Summary
Saliva is an easily obtainable body fluid to use when searching for disease biomarkers, hormones etc.
Amylases constitute 60% of saliva fluids and mask the presence of other protein components
Device removes amylase from oral and other body fluids to increase efficiency of analysis for other proteins . The device also enables if desired to obtain the amylase separately for any desired purpose
Working prototype completed; characterization of results obtained from device neededDevice that removes amylase from saliva and other body fluids, such as sweat, lacrimal, gastro-intestinal, and pancreatic fluids, serum and urine. The device also enables to obtain the amylase separately
Technology Benefits
