Abstract

Point-of-care (POC) diagnostics have tremendous potential to improve human health in remote and resource-poor settings. However, the design criteria for diagnostic tests appropriate in settings with limited infrastructure are unique and challenging. Here we present a custom optical reader which quantifies silver absorbance from heterogeneous immunoassays. The reader is simple, low-cost and suited for POC diagnostics.

摘要

即时检测（POC）诊断技术在改善偏远和资源匮乏地区的人类健康方面具有巨大潜力。然而，适用于基础设施有限环境的诊断测试的设计标准独特且具有挑战性。在此，我们展示了一种定制的光学阅读器，它可对异质免疫分析中的银吸光度进行量化。该阅读器简单、低成本且适用于即时检测诊断。
