1st Gen POC Diagnostics: Not Good Enough
SLIDE 5 ELISA GFET Limit of Detection (LOD) 1-20pg/ml 100x-1000x better than ELISA Ability to Multiplex No (1 antibody per run) Yes Speed May take hours for incubation and processing Sample to results in minutes Cost Expensive Optical Readers All electronic, lower cost Ease of Use Trained Lab Tech Needed After sample obtained, the rest is automated Specificity of detection Relies on secondary detection antibody Higher false positives Specific and direct detection – all electronic
