Lateral flow assay devices and method of use

This device is an electronic reader for common rapid tests, like those for pregnancy or illness. It works by shining a light on the test strip and using a precisely shaped window to direct light from the result lines to a sensor. This design aims to get a very clear signal from the test lines by minimizing interference from the strip's background.

Why it matters: The global demand for accurate, electronic lateral flow assay readers surged after 2019 due to the pandemic. This invention's focus on optimizing signal from test lines directly addresses the need for more reliable and potentially quantitative rapid test results.
