    Abstract: Colorimetry is used to detect amplification reaction products. A sample is contacted with a reaction mix under conditions such that an amplification reaction occurs and produces an amplification reaction product if the sample contains a target nucleic acid template molecule. The reaction mix includes an enzyme for catalyzing the amplification reaction, and at least one halochromic agent. If the target nucleic acid template molecule is present, the amplification reaction changes the starting pH of the reaction mix to cause a detectable colorimetric change of the halochromic agent, thereby indicating the presence of the target nucleic acid. If the target nucleic acid template molecule is not present, the amplification reaction does not generate an adequate number of protons to sufficiently change the starting pH of the reaction mix to cause a detectable colorimetric change of the halochromic agent, thereby indicating that the amplification reaction product has not been produced.

    Abstract: A diagnostic system performs disease diagnostic tests using at least an optical property modifying device and a mobile device. A user provides a biological sample from a patient to the optical property modifying device that reacts with a reagent in one or more reaction chambers of the device. The user captures one or more images of the one or more reaction chambers using an optical sensor of the mobile device. The diagnostic system can determine a quality level of the images based on factors such as skew, scale, focusing, shadowing, or white-balancing. Based on an analysis of the captured image, the diagnostic system can determine a test result of a disease diagnostic test for the patient. The diagnostic system may communicate the test result, as well as instructions for the disease diagnostic test, to the user via the mobile device.

    Abstract translation: 比色法用于检测扩增反应产物。 在发生扩增反应的条件下使样品与反应混合物接触,如果样品含有靶核酸模板分子,则产生扩增反应产物。 反应混合物包括用于催化扩增反应的酶和至少一种卤代色素。 如果存在靶核酸模板分子,则扩增反应改变反应混合物的起始pH,以引起卤色变色剂的可检测的比色变化,从而指示靶核酸的存在。 如果目标核酸模板分子不存在,则扩增反应不产生足够数量的质子,以充分改变反应混合物的起始pH,引起卤代色素的可检测的比色变化,从而表明扩增反应产物 尚未制作。
