DRY SLIDE ASSAY USING REDUCED READING WINDOW

The present disclosure is directed to a method and apparatus for performing an assay on a dry slide or other solid media using a reduced reading window. In an embodiment, method of performing at least one assay comprises obtaining an image of a fluid sample located on a dry slide, positioning a reading window to correspond to an area of the fluid sample in the image, determining an interference area within the reading window based on light intensity, reducing the reading window to eliminate the interference area from the reading window, and performing at least one assay using the reduced reading window. 本公开涉及一种使用减小的读取窗口在干载玻片或其它固体介质上执行化验的方法和设备。在一个实施例中，执行至少一个化验的方法包括获取位于干载玻片上的流体样本的图像，将读取窗口定位成对应于图像中的流体样本的区域，基于光强度确定读取窗口内的干扰区域，减小读取窗口以从读取窗口消除干扰区域，以及使用减小的读取窗口执行至少一个化验。
