Abstract:
1. An immunoassay test strip system for use in conducting quantitative immunoassay diagnostic measurements comprising: an immunoassay test strip including a substrate; at least one test area located on said substrate for capturing antigens that flow through the immunoassay test strip; a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag and a sensor module combination electronically connected to each other and integrated with said substrate; said sensor module capable of quantitatively detecting captured antigens on said test area and said RFID tag and sensor module combination being capable of generating and transmitting at least one signal that includes information regarding the quantity of said antigen captured on said test area and identification of the RFID tag and sensor module combination; a wireless reader adapted to communicate wirelessly with said RFID tag and sensor module combination through the use of multiple protocols to receive said at least one signal that corresponds to the quantity of antigens captured by said at least one test area; and said wireless reader further adapted to communicate wirelessly over a network through the use of multiple communication protocols to download software wirelessly from a remote location based on the identification of the RFID tag and sensor module combination to enable reading and analysis by said wireless reader of the at least one signal received from said RFID tag and sensor module combination.
