SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IMAGING AND IMAGE-BASED ANALYSIS OF TEST DEVICES

Abstract:

Systems and methods for imaging and image-based analysis of test devices can include a background device for a lateral flow assay test strip. In one aspect, the background device can include a test strip portion sized and shaped to guide placement, on the background device, of the lateral flow assay test strip; a background portion at least partially surrounding the test strip portion; and one or more features of the background portion. The one or more features can include line detection fiducials, position fiducials, modulation transfer function fiducials, motion blur detection fiducials, and/or RGB balanced areas for evaluation of lighting conditions.
