Abstract
A system and method for analyzing a biomarker in a biological sample is provided. A biological sample is loaded onto a microchip and an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay specific to the biomarker is performed on the microchip. A color image of the microchip is generated using a mobile device and a color intensity of a selected portion of the color image is determined. The color intensity is correlated with a biomarker concentration using a baseline curve calculation and the concentration of the biomarker is then reported.
Claims16
A system comprising:
- a microchip system, the microchip system comprising a plurality of chambers in micro-a-fluidic communication with one another;
- and
- a transport mechanism adapted to selectively micro-a-fluidically transport a transportable substance across and through fluid in the plurality of chambers of the microchip system without transporting the fluid across the plurality of chambers.
