LATERAL FLOW DIAGNOSTIC DEVICE WITH RADIAL SYMMETRY, AND SYSTEM FOR READING A LATERAL FLOW DIAGNOSTIC DEVICE WITH RADIAL SYMMETRY

摘要

The present invention provides a lateral flow diagnostic device with radial symmetry comprising a base (B) and a lid (T), which comprises at least one sample input opening (1) and at least two observation windows (2), and the base (B) comprises at least one sample acquisition element (3) and at least two test-strip beds (5), wherein each observation opening (2) in the lid (T) corresponds to one or more beds (5), and in each bed (5) one or more test strips (4) can be positioned, said at least one sample acquisition element (3) being in communication with the at least two test strips (4). The invention also provides a system for reading a lateral flow diagnostic device with radial symmetry comprising the following modules: image acquisition optical module (13), illumination module, processing and control module (15), and storage module, wherein the image and acquisition optical module (13) is adapted to acquire an image of a lateral flow diagnostic device with radial symmetry, and the processing and control module (15) is adapted to manage and extract information from the system.
