  • Systems, devices and methods for multiplexed diagnostics
    Patent number: 9488613
    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments provide diagnostic devices, systems and methods for determining the presence or absence of one or more markers or characteristics in one or more samples. An exemplary diagnostic device may display a first two-dimensional machine-readable output to indicate the presence or absence of a first characteristic in a sample. Similarly, the exemplary diagnostic device may display a second two-dimensional machine-readable output to indicate the presence or absence of a second characteristic in a sample. An image capture device may be used to automatically detect the two-dimensional machine-readable output appearing in the diagnostic device. A computational device may be used to automatically determine whether the presence or absence of the first characteristic and/or the second characteristic based on the two-dimensional machine-readable output displayed in the diagnostic device.
