DEVICE FOR DIGITALLY READING RAPID TESTS

摘要

The invention relates to a device for the photometric quantization of lateral-flow rapid tests using camera imaging. The core concept of the invention is an assembly comprising a pinhole with a slot-type aperture integrated into the main body of the housing, in which assembly the imaging is optimised with respect to diffraction, image scale and integration behaviour and the lighting elements and all components are arranged in a housing that is cost-effective to produce, thus permitting a sufficiently accurate quantization of conventional LFA rapid tests for the test user. The device can transmit test-related data via a transponder in an automatic, contactless manner with the aid of electromagnetic waves (RFID) and is therefore suitable for various tests and for the quantization of LFAs.
