Abstract: Devices and methods for controlling collection of liquid sample are described. In an example, a microfluidic device can include an analytical device and an actuator. The actuator can be connected to the analytical device. The actuator can be operable to absorb fluid. The actuator can guide the absorbed fluid to an input layer of the analytical device. The actuator can deform in response to an occurrence of an absorption condition. A degree of deformation of the actuator indicates a volume of fluid collected by the analytical device.

Abstract: A rapid test device includes a micropad chip configured for a multi-parameter chemical testing of an input sample. A plurality of paper layers of the micropad chip are in fluid communication, including a sample absorption element, a filtering element configured to filter the input sample, and a sample distribution element configured to distribute the input sample received from the filtering element to a remainder of the plurality of paper layers. One or more reacting elements associated with the multi-parameter chemical testing of the input sample have one or more colorimetric reagents in fluid communication with the sample distribution element. A colorimetric result displaying element in fluid communication with the one or more reacting elements is configured to display a colorimetric result of the testing of the input sample with the at least one reacting element for a respective chemical test of the multi-parameter chemical testing.

Abstract: A product quality analysis and control system is provided. The product quality analysis and control system includes a processing system that is configured to receive data of objective qualities of a product from multiple data gathering modules. Each of the multiple data gathering modules is respectively positioned at corresponding nodes of a supply chain and is configured to receive from sensors data of objective qualities of a product when the product is at each of the corresponding nodes. The processing system includes a model repository and a data evaluation module. The data evaluation module is configured to select, from the model repository, a model associated with a type of the product and to use the model to analyze the data to identify changes in the objective qualities along the supply chain.

Abstract: A multiplexed lateral flow assay device includes an impermeable internal reservoir having an opening to receive a sample deposition. A fluid distributor pad is arranged in fluid communication with a lower surface of the internal reservoir and divides a portion of the sample deposition substantially equally among a plurality of flow paths. Lateral flow assays having a plurality of flow lines are aligned with flow paths of the distributor pad. An impermeable paper top cover has a first window arranged over the opening of the internal reservoir, and at least a second window arranged over the test results of the lateral flow assays. A housing element houses the reservoir, the distributor pad and lateral flow assays. The housing element includes an impermeable bottom cover and a spacer element arranged between the top and bottom covers and, provides a gap between the lateral flow assays and the impermeable paper top cover.

Abstract: A method of positioning nanomaterials that includes forming a set of electrodes on a substrate, and covering the electrodes and substrate with a single layer of guiding dielectric material. The method may continue with patterning the guiding dielectric to provide dielectric guide features, wherein an exposed portion of the substrate between the dielectric guide features provides a deposition surface. A liquid medium containing at least one nanostructure is applied to the guiding dielectric features and the deposition surface. An electric field produced by the electrodes that is attenuated by the dielectric guide features creates an attractive force that guides the nanostructures to the deposition surface.

Abstract: Method, apparatus, and computer program product are provided for anonymized diagnosis using lateral flow assays. In some embodiments, a test card includes one or more lateral flow assay (LFA) with one or more test patterns (e.g., full line, partial line, dot), one or more dummy patterns, and one or more control patterns. To visually encode LFA results, at manufacture, one or more lines/dots containing true results of the LFA(s) each has a position mixed with other “dummy” lines/dots, in randomized position patterns selected from among a plurality of possible position patterns. An optical machine-readable representation of data (e.g., QR code) is attached to the test card and encodes test card identification information (e.g., lot number, serial number, test type) associated with the test card. In some embodiments, a passcode card having a scrapeable coating that conceals a passcode associated with the test card is removably attached to the test card.
