Abstract:
Lateral flow assay analysis is shown and described. In one embodiment, the lateral flow assay comprises a surface having a reflectance profile that is adapted to enable monitoring of the assay continuously until the detection of an analyte. In other embodiments, a lateral flow assay system includes an incubator and a reader, wherein the incubator incubates the assay concurrently as the reader generates a test result. Further, an assay measurement apparatus may include an optical detector to perform continuous image detection of the assay to generate a diagnostic test result.
Abstract:
A method, test strip and method of manufacturing a test strip useful for detecting one or more analytes, such as an antibiotic, in a test sample such as a milk sample. The test strip and method include a labeled specific binder and test capture agent for the specific binder that increases test sensitivity to the analyte for which the specific binder has affinity while decreasing test sensitivity to an analyte for which a multianalyte binder has affinity.
Abstract:
A test device configured for obtaining a sample from within a tube such as the one or more channels of an endoscope. The device can include an elongate sample probe and light blocking material.
Abstract:
A method and device for detecting analytes in a test sample. Embodiments include methods for quantitatively detecting analytes within a range of concentrations. In an embodiment the method includes a lateral flow test strip with multiple test areas for capturing a labeled receptor to provide a detectable signal.

Abstract:
This application involves detecting luminescence. Various methods and devices are described that reduce interference of ambient light, including UV radiation, on test results. Such methods and devices include using UV blocking material and covering test components prior to use.
Abstract:
A test method and test device for hygiene monitoring of a test sample from a biological material or a surface with a biological material to detect the presence of phosphate and glucose as a measure of hygiene by employing a swab-type, puncturable-membrane test apparatus or a lateral-flow or capillary-flow test apparatus.
