  • Patent number: 8417002
    Abstract: A method for analyzing a digital image containing the result of an agglutination assay to generate a quantitative result value representative of the degree of agglutination of the sample is provided. The method for analyzing the digital image includes: applying a filter to extract a component of the image or portion of a spectrum where a signal to noise ratio between agglutinated and background is maximized; extracting a set of features that characterize the agglutination pattern, obtaining a quantification function which maps measured features to the actual concentration of the sample and computing a quantitative result for each sample in the assay.

  • Publication number: 20090324036
    Abstract: A method for acquiring a digital image of an agglutination result comprising performing an agglutination assay on a reaction substrate having a set of dimensions and characteristics which permit a pattern of agglutination in a result of said assay. The image of the result is developed. The image has a colored background which maximizes a signal to noise ratio. Further, the image has been passed through a filter that complements an action of the colored background and enhances the agglutinates in the image while additionally increasing the signal to noise ratio.
