Detection Algorithms
Our detection algorithm for image based lateral flow meters achieves higher sensitivity and provides meaningful quantitative metrics
Customized GUI
To reduce the R&D cycle time, our customized GUIs can help researchers process and analyze their data more efficiently.
Data Analysis
Our methodical and rigorous approach to data exploitation can help reveal important information and guide your research.
CV Estimation Uncertainty
Examination of the uncertainty in the estimate of the Coefficient of Variation.
Specificity Confidence
Description of how to compute the number of “null” case trials needed in order to estimate Specificity to a given Confidence level.
Inverted Response CV
Examination of the behavior of the coefficient of variation with an inverted response curve.
Lateral Flow Detection Algorithm (LFDA)
Agnostic to Sandwich or Competitive Read Assays
Our proprietary detection algorithm is tailored for image-based immunoassay readers. LFDA leverages the background condition procedure to improve sensitivity and specificity. The LFDA has the unique ability to suppress / mitigate foreign objects such as dust and manufacturing anomalies. LFDA provides a means to achieve lower CVs without the need to change the formulation.
Background Mitigation
We've developed a proprietary technique that conditions the background of a lateral flow strip to increase the SNR of the test region.
Development & QA Resource
Analytical parameters offer useful metrics
Useful metrics from LFDA provides a means to capture assay and strip performance. In addition to the standard signal-to-noise (SNR) values, LFDA provides output metrics that can be used to identify anomalous features. LFDA can provide critical information during formulation and strip design.
Additional benefits of LFDA in a R&D and QA environment
-
Antibody pair screening/selection
-
Kinetic studies during assay development
-
Stability studies
Graphical User Interface (GUI)
The development cycle can be improved when the correct tools are available to the researcher. In many instances, researchers are hindered by the procedural tasks and inadequate software. We at RapidCode leverage Matlab to create customized utilities for the researcher. Additional functionality can be added as the need arise.
