    Abstract: A device for amplifying target nucleic acid in a sample can include a planar fluidic assembly including a transparent substrate, a porous material layer on a surface of the transparent substrate, and a cover over the porous material layer and sealingly affixed to the substrate. The cover may be spaced from the porous material layer and a flow channel defined between the porous material layer and the cover. The flow channel may have a uniform cross-section from a first end to a second end. The assembly can further include an inlet in flow communication with the first end of the flow channel to introduce sample containing target nucleic acid into the flow channel, an outlet in flow communication with the second end of the flow channel, and a plurality of nucleic acid primers retained by the porous material layer at discrete regions along and within the flow channel, each of the plurality of nucleic acid primers being complementary to a portion of the target nucleic acid in the sample to enable a primer-based amplification reaction of the target nucleic acid. The porous material layer may be configured to retain, at the discrete regions and during a primer-based amplification reaction, sample introduced to the flow channel and amplified product of the amplification reaction.

    Abstract: A dialysis cell is provided for the measurement of free thyroxine. The dialysis cell preferably includes a polyhedral housing including a top, a bottom and four sides. The dialysis cell is made up of a buffer portion and serum portion. The buffer portion includes a cavity and the serum portion includes a cavity which, when the buffer portion and serum portion are assembled together, form a central chamber. The central chamber is divided by a vertically aligned dialysis membrane held in place by two O-rings. Buffer is introduced into the dialysis cell's buffer portion through a buffer inlet extending from the dialysis cell's top side to the buffer portion's cavity. Similarly, serum is introduced into the serum portion through an inlet which extends from an opening formed on the dialysis cell's top to the serum portion's cavity.

    Abstract: In one aspect, a diagnostic test system includes a housing, a reader, and a data analyzer. The housing includes a port for receiving a test strip. The reader obtains separable light intensity measurements from localized regions of an area of the detection zone exposed for optical inspection, wherein each of the localized regions is characterized by at least one surface dimension smaller than the first dimension. The data analyzer identifies ones of the light intensity measurements obtained from the at least one test region and computes at least one parameter from the identified ones of the light intensity measurements. In another aspect, the reader obtains a respective set of light intensity measurements from each of multiple corresponding regions of the exposed surface area of the detection zone, and the data analyzer computes at least one parameter from at least one of the sets of light intensity measurements.
