Abstract: An antibody-DNA conjugate set for detection of a target protein, comprising a first antibody-DNA conjugate having a first antibody which is capable of binding to the target protein; and a first DNA oligo linked to the first antibody; a second antibody-DNA conjugate having a second antibody which is capable of binding to the target protein; and a second DNA oligo linked to the second antibody.

Abstract: Example embodiments relate to a sterile urine collection mechanism for medical diagnostic systems. An example device includes an initial collection component configured to collect a midstream urine sample from a patient. The device also includes a plurality of test strips configured to indicate a condition of the patient at a point of care. In addition, the device includes a sensor configured to capture an image of at least one test strip exposed to a portion of the midstream urine sample. Further, the device includes a computing device configured to analyze the image of the test strip captured by the sensor in order to determine the condition of the patient. Even further, the device includes a motor configured to position the test strip near the sensor. Yet further, the device includes an additional collection component configured to collect an additional portion of the midstream urine sample for central laboratory testing.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to automated medical diagnostic systems and methods. One example embodiment includes a system. The system includes a test cartridge, a test strip usable to indicate the presence of one or more patient conditions, and a kiosk configured to receive and process the test cartridge and the test strip. The kiosk includes a vortex mixer; a conveyor belt; a robotic pipette module; an imaging system; a display; and a processor communicative coupled to the vortex mixer, the conveyor belt, the robotic pipette module, the imaging system, and the display. The processor is configured to execute instructions stored within a memory to operate the vortex mixer, the conveyor belt, the robotic pipette module, the imagine system, and the display; to receive the image of the test strip from the imaging system; and to analyze the image to determine whether one or more patient conditions is present.
