IIT Guwahati Develops 3D Printed Device To Detect Urinary Tract Infection

It is a fast, accurate, and reliable device that can measure and identify the type of bacteria in a UTI suspected patient, the institute said in a statement.

The researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Guwahati have developed a 3D printed cost-effective device to detect specific bacteria that causes urinary tract infection (UTI).

It is a fast, accurate, and reliable device that can measure and identify the type of bacteria in a UTI suspected patient, the institute said in a statement.  

The estimated cost of manufacturing this device is Rs 608, while testing a single sample will cost Rs 8 only, it said
