Publication number: 20230341422Abstract: The current disclosure provides a home test for simultaneous measurement of glucose control and kidney function in patients. It is a handheld device that measures the ratio of glycated albumin (GA) to albumin as well as albumin to creatinine ratio in a biological sample. The device works in conjunction with a disposable microfluidic cassette which contains an inlet for the sample to be deposited into, which might be separated into two channels or might be single channel wherein reagents are incorporated. The channels are designed to transport the sample to working electrodes coated with specific binding agents. The binding agents are antibodies or aptamers or binding peptides. The binding agents bind specifically to respective analytes in the sample and produces change in impedance. The microfluidic cassette is inserted into an instrument that automatically reads, calculates and displays GA/albumin ratio and albumin/creatinine ratio based on changes in impedance measurement.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2020Publication date: October 26, 2023Inventors: Bhairavi Vajaria, Darwin Salgado, Cristian Hernandez, Marco Robles, Henry Smith, Azra Zaidi
