Zinc test unused and used

*********************************
There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Zinc test unused and used

At top, an unused test, which starts as a dry powder that can be transported at any temperature without special conditions and carried in an aid worker's pocket. At bottom, a test shows zinc levels by changing colors. It can be read directly in the field. This demo for the image was not performed with blood. Credit: Georgia Tech / Allison Carter
