Fujitsu has come up with a way to analyze proteins for quicker and easier diagnoses of illnesses such as food-poisoning, cancer and pandemic strains of flu, the Japanese electronics maker said Friday. Developed with the Technical University of Munich, the sensor can diagnose an illness in five or 10 minutes, and requires a far smaller sample of material, Aki told reporters.
