Abstract:
1. A personal diagnostic device for analysis of a fluid sample, comprising: a sample acquisition layer for obtaining a fluid sample from a user, said sample acquisition layer being associated with a light source; a fluidic processing layer in fluid communication with said sample acquisition layer and configured to process said fluid sample, said fluidic processing layer including a fluidic circuit configured to direct said fluid sample to an analysis chamber, said fluidic circuit containing different chambers for sample processing, detection, and analysis; an assay results detection layer having a detector for detecting diagnostic results derived from said processing of said fluid sample; a signal processing layer, a controller layer, and an input/output layer including a display configured to display at least some of said diagnostic results of said fluid sample after analysis, and said sample acquisition layer, said fluidic processing layer, and said assay results detection layer are in register with each other and are operatively attached to each other to form said fluidic circuit, and said light source, analysis chamber, and detector are in register with each other such that light emitted from said light source passes through said analysis chamber and is detectable by said detector.
