  • Patent number: 11953428
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for improving the precision of a test result from an instrument with an optical system that detects a signal. The method comprises including in the instrument a normalization target disposed directly or indirectly in the optical path of the optical system. Also disclosed are instruments comprising a normalization target, and systems comprising such an instrument and a test device that receives a sample suspected of containing an analyte.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20200118692
    Abstract: A system including multiple diagnostic instruments, each diagnostic instrument including a detector that interacts with a test assay is provided. At least one diagnostic instrument is configured to automatically associate the test assay with multiple values to generate a diagnostic. The diagnostic may be stored within a memory of the diagnostic instrument, and the multiple values may be related to one or more of: a test assay identifier, a test assay result, a patient identifier, and a diagnostic instrument identifier. At least one diagnostic instrument in the system may be configured to transmit the diagnostic to a first server for storage. The first server being configured to generate a report based on the diagnostic from each diagnostic instrument for display on a second server or on an end-user workstation. Methods for use the above system are also provided.
