Acquiring reliable data from test strip assay results

A device (100) for determining a test result comprising: one or more sensors (104, 105) arranged to detect an assay result indicated by a test strip (101), such as a lateral flow test strip or a photometric test strip; a processor (102) configured to, in use, process signals from the one or more sen...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A device (100) for determining a test result comprising: one or more sensors (104, 105) arranged to detect an assay result indicated by a test strip (101), such as a lateral flow test strip or a photometric test strip; a processor (102) configured to, in use, process signals from the one or more sensors (104, 105) so as to form an intermediate data set characterising the assay result and to process at least some of said intermediate data set to determine a test result; and an output unit (103); wherein the processor (102) is configured to cause the output unit to provide a human-readable representation (201) of the test result and assay data encoded in machine-readable form comprising at least some of the intermediate data set. Test strips can have an identification code (404) and the assay result can be optically read using a mobile device (301) such as a smartphone or a tablet. Assay result can as well be transferred to a remote data server (304).
