Abstract
Embodiments may include a rapid test device that provide rapid detection of substances, including those involved in pathogen infection, for example, using Microscale Affinity Chromatography (MAC), indirect ELISA, and optical molecular sensing technology. For example, in an embodiment, an apparatus may comprise a loading bay disposed on the apparatus to receive a cartridge, a door disposed on the apparatus to cover the loading bay, a plurality of prongs disposed on an interior of the door to provide actuation force to dispense blister reservoirs disposed on the cartridge when the door is closed, and a device disposed relative to the cartridge to move at least a portion of contents of the cartridge among chambers of the cartridge.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- a loading bay disposed on the apparatus to receive a cartridge comprising a plurality of hermetically sealed blister reservoirs;
- a door disposed on the apparatus to cover the loading bay;
- a plurality of prongs disposed on an interior of the door to provide actuation force to the plurality of hermetically sealed blister reservoirs disposed on the cartridge when the door is closed, to directly depress each of the plurality of hermetically sealed blister reservoirs so as to dispense contents of the plurality of hermetically sealed blister reservoirs into chambers of the cartridge associated with each blister reservoir;
- and
- a device disposed relative to the cartridge to move at least a portion of contents of the cartridge among chambers of the cartridge.
An apparatus comprising:
- a loading bay disposed on the apparatus to receive a cartridge comprising a plurality of blister reservoirs;
- a door disposed on the apparatus to cover the loading bay;
- a plurality of blunt prongs disposed on an interior of the door to provide actuation force to the plurality of blister reservoirs disposed on the cartridge when the door is closed, to directly depress each of the plurality of blister reservoirs so as to dispense contents of the plurality of blister reservoirs into chambers of the cartridge associated with each blister reservoir;
- and
- a device disposed relative to the cartridge to move at least a portion of contents of the cartridge among chambers of the cartridge.
