Abstract
The present invention relates to an apparatus to detect biological parameters in the analysis of a sample, specimen, or assay. The system includes a device for determining one or more values for one or more measurable characteristics of a sample. In an aspect, the device can be configured to operate on any of a mobile device, tablet computer, laptop computer, desktop computer, digital pen, medical testing tool or electronic device. In another aspect, the device can comprise a synchronization component that synchronizes the device to a network system.
Claims20
A device for detecting biological targets comprising:
- a memory having stored thereon computer executable components;
- and a processor configured to execute the following computer executable components stored in the memory:
- a cartridge component that stores nanomaterial labels paired to biological materials in N wells, whereby each well stores one or more nanomaterial labels paired to one or more biological materials;
- wherein N is an integer;
- a dispenser component that dispenses a biological sample into each respective well;
- an excitation component that emits energy from an excitation source to excite the nanomaterial label in the absence of the biological sample and excites the nanomaterial label in the presence of the biological sample;
- a detection component that detects a relative change in energy emitted from the nanomaterial label paired to the biological material in the absence of the biological sample as compared to the energy emitted from the nanomaterial label paired to a biological material in the presence of a biological target present in the biological sample;
- an analysis component that analyzes data related to the change in energy emitted from the nanomaterial label paired to the biological material as compared to a standard curve for the energy emitted from the nanomaterial label paired to a the biological material in the presence of various concentration levels of the biological target;
- a generation component that generates a medical diagnostic report based in part on the analyzed data;
- a display component that displays the medical diagnostic report to a device user.
A method, comprising:
- using a processor to execute the following computer executable instructions stored in a memory to perform the following acts:
- storing nanomaterial labels paired to biological materials in N wells, whereby each well stores one or more nanomaterial labels paired to one or more biological materials;
- wherein N is an integer;
- dispensing a biological sample into each respective well;
- emitting energy from an excitation source to excite the nanomaterial label in the absence of the biological sample and excites the nanomaterial label in the presence of the biological sample;
- detecting a relative change in energy emitted from the nanomaterial label paired to the biological material in the absence of the biological sample as compared to the energy emitted from the nanomaterial label paired to a biological material in the presence of a biological target present in the biological sample;
- analyzing data related to the change in energy emitted from the nanomaterial label paired to the biological material as compared to a standard curve for the energy emitted from the nanomaterial label paired to the biological material in the presence of various concentration levels of the biological target;
- generating a medical diagnostic report based in part on the analyzed data;
- displaying the medical diagnostic report to a device user.
