Abstract:
A portable reader module includes a housing, a first receptacle configured to removably receive a portable device having an imager, and a second receptacle configured to removably receive a cartridge. The first receptacle includes a first optical entrance for the imager to the internal space of the housing. The second receptacle includes a second optical entrance to the internal space of the housing. A light-deflecting optical element is arranged within the internal space of the housing to define an optical path between the first optical entrance and the second optical entrance. An illuminating path for illuminating the cartridge is defined in the housing. The housing is configured to allow the internal space to be light-shielded.

Claim (Index 20):
A method for quantitative analysis of an assay, comprising:\n providing a portable reader module which comprises a housing comprising an internal space, a first receptacle configured to removably receive a portable device comprising an imager, and a second receptacle configured to removably receive a cartridge, wherein the first receptacle comprises a first optical entrance for the imager to the internal space of the housing, and wherein the second receptacle comprises a second optical entrance to the internal space of the housing so that the cartridge is visible to and from the internal space; placing a portable device comprising an imager, a central processing unit, a light source and a display unit in the first receptacle of the portable reader module; placing a cartridge comprising at least one test zone with at least one test result region in the second receptacle of the portable reader module; illuminating the cartridge with the light source of the portable device using an illuminating path defined within the housing of the portable reader module between the light source of the portable device and the cartridge; capturing an image of the illuminated cartridge including the test zone by the imager of the portable device; analysing the captured image by the portable device to obtain a test result; and displaying the test result in the display unit of the portable device.
