Apparatus and Method for Classifying Pictures of Gel-Card Reactions

A centrifugation and test device comprising:

• a centrifugation apparatus arranged for centrifugation of at least one container;
• an imaging device for generating images of the container;
• and
• an apparatus of 1 for receiving as input the images of the container.

A method for classifying a picture of a reaction of reactants in a predetermined container;

• the method comprising:
• inputting in a first neural network an input picture of a reaction of reactants in the predetermined container, the first neural network being arranged for providing, for each reaction category of a first plurality of reaction categories, a probability that the input picture shows a reaction that belongs to the reaction category of the first plurality of reaction categories;
• and
• if a first neural response provides a highest probability that the input picture shows a reaction that belongs to a predetermined reaction category of the first plurality of reaction categories, inputting in a second neural network a predetermined portion of the input picture, the second neural network being arranged for providing, for each reaction category of a second plurality of reaction categories, a probability that the predetermined portion of the input picture shows a reaction that belongs to the reaction category of the second plurality of reaction categories.
