Figure 6: Complete POCKET immunoassay with plug-in cartridges
The immunoassay comprises four key technologies. The silver reduction signal amplification method and a system of microfluidic channels for the manipulation of samples are highlighted in box A. The portable electronic detector for the silver reduction (includes laser diode and photodetector) highlighted in box B. A sample Òplug-in cartridgeÓ for the delivery of fluids into microchannels is shown in box C.
