NON-VISIBLE DETECTABLE MARKING FOR MEDICAL DIAGNOSTICS

摘要

Sample media for the analysis of analytes in a fluid test sample includes a carrier, at least one test field on the surface of the carrier including at least one reagent reactive with the analytes and capable of providing a detectable response. A non- visible bar code formed by at least two distinct non- visible marker fields is located on the carrier. The marker fields are configured to reflect electro-magnetic (EM) radiation within one or more ranges of non- visible wavelengths to form a coded sequence of reflectances correlated to identification of the sample media.
