Abstract
Differential Scanning Calorimetry is being investigated as an analytical tool to detect cancer and other diseases by measuring the heat induced protein denaturation in blood plasma. This paper presents a much faster alternative method by using chip-based Fast Differential Scanning Calorimetry. Compared to standard Differential Scanning Calorimetry Fast Differential Scanning Calorimetry is able to reduce measurement time from hours to seconds. The latest development, a more sensitive chip has been tested with healthy control blood serum and blood serum from kidney cancer patients. Clear differences between the control serum and the serum from the cancer patients are found.
