Training on the New Laboratory Machine: Digital microscope to diagnose malaria (20.07.2025-25.07.2025)

Associate Professor Fekadu Massebo reports:

“I am excited to announce the successful completion of training on the NOUL miLab Platform at Arba Minch University’s Medical Entomology and Vector Control Laboratory. 

This advanced digital platform, a valuable addition to our research efforts, enhances our laboratory’s capabilities and aims to address challenges in malaria diagnosis associated with traditional microscopy, a significant issue in malaria detection. 

The Noul digital microscope (see the picture of the screen below), with its improved accuracy, efficiency, and consistency, enhances confidence in our research. 

My team showed enthusiasm during the training, quickly applying their new skills to real tasks. This reflects their commitment to improving our laboratory’s quality and embracing innovative technologies. 

The successful completion of this training marks an important milestone. We are excited about the potential of the NOUL miLab Platform to support our mission in malaria research and control, and we look forward to exploring its full capabilities. 

I also extend my heartfelt thanks to Mr. Berhanu Lulu from Hawassa University for his exceptional training and expertise, which have been instrumental in our successful adoption of the NOUL miLab Platform”.
