<p>An optically readable device is provided for use in an assay process, where the device includes a surface readable by an optical reading device and at least one binder located on the surface for exposure to a medium and configured to bind to a target entity that may be present in the medium. An optical reading can then read the target entity using appropriate software for reading, counting or otherwise analyzing the entities bound to the disk. The device may further be exposed to another medium that includes obstructions such as assay beads that are configured to bind to the bound target entities on the disk, so that their presence may be detected by the optical reading device.</p> |
