  • Publication number: 20250128262
    Abstract: A molecular diagnostic test device can include a housing and a sample preparation module within the housing. The sample preparation module defines an input reservoir and a sample input opening through which a biological sample can be loaded into the input reservoir. The sample preparation module includes a solid reagent contained within the input reservoir. The molecular diagnostic test device can include a fluid source within the housing. The fluid source is in fluid communication with the input reservoir such that upon activation of the molecular diagnostic test device, the fluid from the fluid source is injected into the input reservoir to mix the biological sample and the solid reagent within the input reservoir to form an input solution containing a target molecule.

  • Patent number: 12263478
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a stand-alone molecular diagnostic test device includes a detection circuit that includes a light emitting device and a light receiving device (e.g., a photodiode) that are arranged to produce an electronic signal associated with a colorimetric output produced by the stand-alone molecular diagnostic test.

  • Patent number: 11952636
    Abstract: The disclosure relates generally to molecular diagnostic devices configured to amplifying a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) locus and discriminate between two or more allelic variants of the SNP, indicating presence or absence of a target allele. In some embodiments, the molecular diagnostic devices are capable of detecting, at point-of-care, SNPs associated with resistance or susceptibility to antibiotic treatment of organism infections. In other aspects, the disclosure provides methods of treatment for disease or disorders (e.g. organism infections) where treatment is guided by presence or absence of an allele at a SNP locus as determined by such molecular diagnostic devices.
