Abstract:
In one aspect, the inventive concepts disclosed herein are directed to a chromatographic assay device for detecting the presence of free hemoglobin in a whole blood sample. The device comprising a chromatographic detection pad with a sample application site and a detection side. The chromatographic detection pad defines a path for capillary fluid flow. The chromatographic detection pad has a pore size. The sample application site on the chromatographic detection pad is for application of a portion of the whole blood sample. The detection site on the chromatographic detection pad is spaced apart from the application site and is downstream of the sample application site. The chromatographic detection pad is devoid of a compound located downstream of the application site that is reactive to the whole blood sample.
Abstract:
Kits, microfluidics devices, and assays for use in methods of spectroscopically determining a ratio of glycated hemoglobin to total hemoglobin in a whole blood sample are disclosed.
Abstract:
Inventive concepts disclosed herein are directed to a capillary tube and a force assisted sample ejection mechanism. The capillary tube may be at least one of dissolvable or breakable. The force assisted sample ejecting mechanism releasing at least part of the sample of the first liquid from the capillary tube by at least one of abruptly shaking the capillary tube at least once or breaking the capillary tube.
Abstract:
A chemiluminescent detection system, as well as kits and microfluidics devices containing same, are disclosed. Methods of using the system, kits, and devices are also disclosed. The first, second, and third antibodies or binding fragments thereof may be provided in any form that allows these antibodies/binding fragments to function in accordance with the presently disclosed and claimed inventive concept(s). For example, each of the first, second, and third antibodies/binding fragments may be a polyclonal antibody/binding fragment or a monoclonal antibody/binding fragment.
