-10. (canceled)
A portable device for testing agro-dairy based samples, comprising:
- (a) at least one optical detector based on micro-spectroscopy, the detector being optically aligned with at least one test sample and having sensitivity across a wavelength range encompassing reflectance or transmission wavelength of at least one test analyte of the test sample;
- (b) at least one adaptor holding:
- (i) at least one colorimetric test strip upon which is placed the at least one test sample comprising the at least one test analyte;
- (ii) at least one concave shaped holder for holding the at least one test sample, the sample being solid or semi-solid;
- and
- (iii) at least one cuvette for holding the at least one test sample further containing at least one test analyte;
- the adaptors for each of (i), (ii) and (iii) fitting into at least one socket on the device;
- (c) at least one light emitting diode (LED) light source capable of emitting a range of wavelengths;
- (d) a microcontroller for controlling the functioning of electronic components;
- and
- (e) a networking module for data transfer utilizing wireless technology.
