Abstract
A method for evaluating a test article provided by a subject for an attribute, such as a medical, industrial, veterinary, agricultural, food, or other attribute, is provided. The design includes providing a cassette comprising at least one ligand selected to match the attribute, applying the test article provided by the patient to the at least one ligand of the cassette, transmitting light energy toward the test article applied to the at least one ligand, sensing optical attributes of light energy provided from the test article applied to the at least one ligand, and providing sensed attributes of the light energy sensed to an electronic device.

A method for evaluating a test article provided by a patient for an attribute, comprising:
- providing a cassette comprising at least one ligand selected to match the attribute;
- applying the test article provided by the patient to the at least one ligand of the cassette;
- transmitting light energy toward the test article applied to the at least one ligand;
- sensing optical attributes of light energy provided from the test article applied to the at least one ligand;
- and
- providing sensed attributes of the light energy sensed to an electronic device.
An apparatus for evaluating a test article provided by a patient for an attribute, comprising:
- a cassette comprising at least one ligand selected to match the attribute, wherein the test article provided by the patient is applied to the at least one ligand of the cassette;
- a light energy transmitter configured to transmit light energy toward the test article applied to the at least one ligand;
- a sensor configured to sense optical attributes of light energy provided from the test article applied to the at least one ligand;
- and
- an electronic device configured to received sensed attributes of the light energy from the sensor.
A method for evaluating a test article provided by a patient for an attribute, comprising:
- applying the test article obtained from the patient to at least one ligand selected to match the attribute in a cassette;
- transmitting light energy toward the test article applied to the at least one ligand;
- sensing optical attributes of light energy provided from the test article applied to the at least one ligand;
- and
- providing sensed attributes of the light energy sensed to an electronic device configured to determine presence or absence of the attribute in the test article.
