Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to a testing device with a testing assembly for lateral flow assay. The testing assembly comprises liquid sample receiving interface arranged on a support structure defining a plane. The liquid sample receiving interface is configured to receive a liquid sample. The testing assembly comprises at least one testing strip fluidly connected to the liquid sample receiving interface. The testing strip comprises a capillary wick fluidly connected to the liquid sample receiving interface and including at least one test portion, the test portion comprising at least one respective reacting material configured for reacting in a predetermined manner to at least one specific analyte. The testing device comprises an optical sensor, arranged and configured for detecting light reflected from the at least one test portion and for converting the detected light into an electrical signal representing an intensity and/or a color of the detected light. The testing device further comprises a conversion unit for converting the electrical signal into digital data representing the intensity and/or the color of the detected light, and a transmitter unit for wirelessly transmitting digital data.
