The principle of the FREND
TM
System
The FREND
TM
System is a portable, automated FREND
TM
cartridge
reader.
The FREND
TM
System is based on quantitative and qualitative
immunoassay technology capable of quantifying single or multiple
analytes by measuring laser-induced fluorescence in a single-use
disposable reagent cartridge.
The FREND
TM
cartridge utilizes micro-fluidics lateral flow technology
where the analyte of interest in the sample forms immune complexes
while moving through the fluidics pathway in the cartridge.
The concentration of the analyte of interest in an unknown sample
is calculated using the ratio of the fluorescent intensity of the test
zone and the reference zone.
