Abstract
The present disclosure relates to methods that may be used for the detection of allergens.
Claims18
A method at least partially implemented using one or more computer processors, the method comprising:
- receiving information identifying at least one allergen indicator affecting an individual and at least one concentration level of the at least one allergen indicator that produces at least one allergic response in the individual;
- determining at least partly in response to processing of one or more samples with one or more microfluidic chips at least one concentration amount of the at least one allergen indicator in at least some of the one or more samples;
- and
- outputting at least one unsafe-type indicator for display if the at least one concentration amount of the at least one allergen indicator in at least some of the one or more samples meets or exceeds the at least one concentration level of the at least one allergen indicator that produces at least one allergic response in the individual.
1 more element
One or more non-transitory media bearing one or more instructions for facilitating operations comprising:
- receiving information identifying at least one allergen indicator affecting an individual and at least one concentration level of the at least one allergen indicator that produces at least one allergic response in the individual;
- determining at least partly in response to processing of one or more samples with one or more microfluidic chips at least one concentration amount of the at least one allergen indicator in at least some of the one or more samples;
- and
- outputting at least one unsafe-type indicator for display if the at least one concentration amount of the at least one allergen indicator in at least some of the one or more samples meets or exceeds the at least one concentration level of the at least one allergen indicator that produces at least one allergic response in the individual.
1 more element
A system comprising:
- at least one article of manufacture bearing one or more instructions for facilitating operations including at least:
- receiving information identifying at least one allergen indicator affecting an individual and at least one concentration level of the at least one allergen indicator that produces at least one allergic response in the individual;
- determining at least partly in response to processing of one or more samples with one or more microfluidic chips at least one concentration amount of the at least one allergen indicator in at least some of the one or more samples;
- and
- outputting at least one unsafe-type indicator for display if the at least one concentration amount of the at least one allergen indicator in at least some of the one or more samples meets or exceeds the at least one concentration level of the at least one allergen indicator that produces at least one allergic response in the individual.
2 more elements
A system comprising:
- circuitry configured for receiving information identifying at least one allergen indicator affecting an individual and at least one concentration level of the at least one allergen indicator that produces at least one allergic response in the individual;
- circuitry configured for determining at least partly in response to processing of one or more samples with one or more microfluidic chips at least one concentration amount of the at least one allergen indicator in at least some of the one or more samples;
- and
- circuitry configured for outputting at least one unsafe-type indicator for display if the at least one concentration amount of the at least one allergen indicator in at least some of the one or more samples meets or exceeds the at least one concentration level of the at least one allergen indicator that produces at least one allergic response in the individual.
