EASILY DEPLOYED LATERAL FLOW TEST INSTRUMENT AND MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR ANTIGEN DETECTION IN HIGH THROUGHPUT TEST CENTERS

摘要

A low-cost immunoassay apparatus and system that facilitates the operation of efficient high-volume microbial disease testing centers is described. Included is a highly accurate and sensitive lateral flow assay instrument, complete with internal environmentally controlled chamber, a through-sample spectrographic reader, and cloud-connected flexible pre- and post-test calibration and data analysis. Also included is a highly integrated cloud-connected smartphone application that manages the flow and procedure of each patient before and during his visit to a testing center.
