  • SENSOR-BASED SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DIAGNOSTIC AND FIELD USE DETECTION OF NUCLEIC ACIDS
    Publication number: 20230149928
    Abstract: Devices and methods for the detection of nucleic acids (e.g., RNA, DNA) are described. The nucleic acid can be obtained or derived from a pathogen, such as a virus. In one embodiment, the virus is a coronavirus (e.g., SARS-CoV-2) related to the disease COVID-19. Accordingly, devices and methods may be used in the field as point-of-care devices to test a subject (e.g., a patient) for the presence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus or another nucleic acid.

  • METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PERFORMING A LATERAL FLOW ASSAY
    Publication number: 20080031779
    Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention provides a method for performing a lateral flow assay. The method includes depositing a sample on a test strip at an application region, detecting a first detection signal arising from the test strip in the first detection zone, and generating a baseline for the first measurement zone by interpolating between values of the detection signal outside of the first measurement zone and inside of the first detection zone. The method may include locating a beginning boundary and an ending boundary for the first measurement zone on the test strip. Additional detection zones having measurement zones may also be incorporated with the embodiment.
