1. A system for optical detection of target substances, comprising:
a test container comprising:
a sample processing chamber, anda detection substrate fluidly connected to the sample processing chamber; a housing defining a component volume and a test container lumen adjacent and optically connected to the component volume through a testing window, the test container lumen configured to removably receive the test container in an analysis configuration, wherein the detection substrate is adjacent the testing window in the analysis configuration; an optical sensing subsystem mounted to the housing within the component volume, the optical sensing subsystem comprising:
an illuminator arranged proximal an end of the testing window and directed toward the testing window at an oblique angle, andan imager arranged proximal a center of the testing window with an active face directed substantially toward the testing window, the imager arranged between the testing window and the illuminator; and a processing module, configured to:
record an image of the detection substrate;control the optical sensing subsystem, based on the drive element operation data and the image of the detection substrate;determine a test output, based on the image of the detection substrate; andprovide the test output to a user. |
