  • Publication number: 20190094116
    Abstract: A real time assay monitoring system and method can be used to monitor reagent volume in assays for fluid replenishment control, monitor assays in real-time to obtain quality control information, monitor assays in real-time during development to detect saturation levels that can be used to shorten assay time, and provide assay results before the assay is complete, enabling reflex testing to begin automatically. The monitoring system can include a real time imaging system with a camera and lights to capture images of the assay. The captured images can then be used to monitor and control the quality of the staining process in an assay, provide early assay results, and/or to measure the on-site reagent volume within the assay.

  • Publication number: 20150355520
    Abstract: A control circuit and a method for maintaining light transmittance of an electrochromic device are revealed. An input power source is turned off once a current input into an electrochromic device is decreased to a preset value. Then a voltage between two electrodes of the electrochromic device is detected. When the voltage between two electrodes of the electrochromic device is dropped to a preset value, the input power source is restored. According to the above steps, the coloration of the electrochromic device is maintained within a preset range. Thus light transmittance of the electrochromic device is kept at a certain range.
