  • Publication number: 20210402392
    Abstract: An automated system communicated to a remote server for diagnostically field testing a sample taken from a patient using an automated portable handheld instrument to determine the presence of Covid-19 and/or antibodies thereto includes microfluidic circuits defined in a rotatable disk for performing a bioassay using a microarray to generate an electrical signal indicative of a bioassay measurement; the microarray operationally positioned in the microfluidic circuit; one or more lasers; one or more positionable valves in the microfluidic circuit; and a backbone unit for rotating the disk according to a protocol to perform the bioassay, for controlling the lasers to selectively open the positionable valves in the microfluidic disk, for operating the microarray to generate a digital image as a bioassay measurement; for communicating the bioassay measurement to the remote server, and for associating the performed bioassay and its corresponding bioassay measurement to the patient.
