  • Publication number: 20230408534
    Abstract: The present invention is related to, among other things, the devices and methods that improve the accuracy and reliability of an assay, even when the assay device and/or the operation of the assay device has certain errors, and in some embodiments, the errors are random. One aspect of the present invention is to overcome the random errors or imperfections of an assay device or the operation of the assay device by measuring, in addition to measuring the analyte in a sample to generate an analyte test result, the trustworthiness of the analyte test result. The analyte test result will be reported, only when the trustworthiness meets a predetermined threshold, otherwise the analyte test result will be discarded. Various of parameter variation have been used for test trustworthy determination.
