    Abstract: An apparatus for creating and correcting a two dimensional intensity map of one or more assay spots in a detection zone is provided. The apparatus comprising, a locator for affirming the location of the detection zone; a total internal reflection excitation device comprising a light source for illuminating the one or more assay spots in the detection zone; a detector configured to receive light that is emitted, reflected or scattered from the one or more assay spots and to create a two dimensional intensity map of the one or more assay spots comprising a two dimensional array of quantitative pixel values; and a processor configured to correct the intensity map to remove noise through analysis of corresponding pixel values from an earlier intensity map; wherein the analysis includes curve fitting.

    Abstract: A lateral to free flow assay device is provided for analysis of a fluid sample. The device comprises: a sample collection unit configured to introduce the sample into the device; an optical element configured to facilitate TIR for the analysis of the sample; a fluid pathway configured to provide fluid communication between the sample collection unit and a free flow region adjacent the optical element; a wicking pad defining a lateral flow section of the fluid pathway or provided in the sample collection unit to collect the sample; wherein at least one surface of the optical element defines at least part of the free flow region of the fluid pathway; and wherein the fluid pathway is configured to enable fluid flow from the lateral flow region to the free flow region of the fluid pathway to facilitate the analysis of the sample.
