The deficiency of point-of-care (POC) diagnostic devices on the market today is largely due to the unique combination of required specifications that most devices don’t satisfy. Here we report on a true POC disposable device that utilizes our Specimen Delivery System (Paratus SDS®) and attaches to a smartphone for multiplexed detection of gastroenteritis and diarrheal disease. The assay is performed by first collecting a stool sample with a nylon swab, and second, inserting the swab directly into the sensing cartridge where the biomarkers are moved downstream for subsequent detection through a chemiluminescent immunoassay. Importantly, the device can be used for a variety of applications by simply changing out the recognition elements within the immunoassay, and therefore has the potential to contribute to the movement towards more accessible diagnostics.
