DEVICE FOR ANALYZING A FLUID SAMPLE
Apparatuses and methods related to a point-of-care portable assay device are described herein. In an embodiment, a device for monitoring a reaction in a fluid sample includes a vacuum source configured to pull the fluid sample through a microchannel, a current source configured to cause the reaction while the fluid sample is located within the microchannel, a light source configured to illuminate the reaction while the current source causes the reaction, a camera imaging device configured to record an image of the reaction while the light source illuminates the reaction, and a controller configured to analyze the image of the reaction and output a resulting analysis of the reaction.
