Classification: CPC G | IPC A  G

Claim 9:
10. A system for rapid detection and analysis of biological and environmental analytes comprising:
a microwell plate having one or more colorimetric assays;
an image capture device on a portable computing and communications device configured to create a digital image of the microwell plate;
a digital image analyzing computer having a processor executing computer instructions configured to:
receive a digital image of the microwell plate from said image capture device, and to compute a pixel intensity in each well containing a colorimetric assay and an analyte concentration in each well containing a colorimetric assay based on said pixel intensity; and
transmit from said digital image analyzing computer to said portable computing and communications device an electronic alert of a disease condition or presence of a toxin upon a determination at said processor that an analyte concentration in at least one of said colorimetric assays exceeds a predetermined threshold level of a molecule of interest;
wherein said computer instructions configured to compute a pixel intensity in each well containing a colorimetric assay and an analyte concentration in each well containing a colorimetric assay based on said pixel intensity are further configured to generate at said processor a standard pixel intensity indicative of the predetermined threshold level of a molecule of interest, and compare a computed pixel intensity of each colorimetric assay in each well to said standard pixel intensity.
