An immunoassay system that can propose assays based on input data

摘要

The present disclosure discloses methods and apparatus for performing a diagnostic assay using recommendations based on one or more user inputs. In certain embodiments, a system for diagnosing and testing a patient for one or more diseases stores a plurality of capture reagents configured to perform a plurality of different assays on a patient sample using the plurality of capture reagents. An assay device, a user interface communicable with the assay device configured to allow input of patient symptoms, and (i) analyzing a disease profile database based on the symptoms input to the user interface; (ii) A user configured to output at least one recommended assay based on analysis of the disease profile database and (iii) cause the assay device to perform at least one recommended assay using at least one of the plurality of capture reagents. A control unit capable of communicating with the interface. [Selection diagram] Fig. 1
