Abstract
A testing apparatus for performing an assay, the testing apparatus comprising: a receptacle (2) containing a reagent, the reagent being reactive to an applied test sample by developing a colour or pattern variation; a portable device (1), e.g. a mobile phone or a laptop, comprising a processor and an image capture device (3), wherein the processor is configured to process data captured by the image capture device and output a test result for the applied test sample.
Claims10
A method of performing an assay, the method comprising:
- generating image data using an image capture device of a mobile processing device when an error fails to exceed a predetermined value, where the mobile processing device is configured to generate no less than substantially real-time interactive feedback to a user of the mobile processing device to guide repositioning of the image capture device relative to a test device prior to generating the image data;
- evaluating the image data, generated from the image capture device viewing at least a portion of the test device, to determine at least one of a color, a line, and a pattern of the test device post introduction of an analyte;
- and,
- using the mobile processing device to automatically output a test result responsive to evaluating the image data.
