A customizable point-of-care (POC) lateral flow reader combines advanced imaging technology and proprietary algorithms to deliver high-sensitivity measurements in just 10 seconds.
The miniDxR lateral flow reader designed by DCN Dx (Carlsbad, CA, USA) for POC testing offers advanced imaging technology, superior sensitivity and specificity, and robust cybersecurity features. It is customizable for diverse diagnostic applications, providing reliable and accurate results in diverse POC settings. The miniDxR utilizes advanced camera-based colorimetry and fluorescence for accurate and precise color and intensity detection, vital for the most sensitive POC diagnostics. It features a modular cartridge nest that can be customized to accommodate a wide variety of lateral flow assay cassettes, ensuring compatibility with a laboratory’s specific needs.
The miniDxR boasts a user-friendly interface with a vibrant color display and simple three-button control, enabling effortless operation even in fast-paced POC environments and while using gloves. Additional options are available to adapt screen size and button controls. It offers versatile “batch” and “single test” modes to accommodate diverse testing protocols, allowing labs to analyze pre-run assays or monitor lateral flow assays in real-time at the POC. Additionally, the miniDxR safeguards sensitive data with robust encryption and adheres to rigorous international standards, including FCC, IEC 61326, IEC 61010, IEC 60601, and IEC 62304, ensuring suitability for POC use.
The miniDxR offers a variety of customization options, from software workflows and data presentation to hardware modifications and branding. Every customized miniDxR unit comes with standard features such as pre-submission materials, product and software requirements, risk analysis, cybersecurity measures, verifications, and completion of the Design History File per FDA requirements. The miniDxR is designed to excel in both sophisticated clinical labs and challenging field environments.
"From its advanced capabilities to its range of customization options, our team designed this reader with the specific needs of point-of-care testing in mind," said Pat Vaughan, Ph.D., COO of DCN Dx.
