title = "Environmental Characterization of a Fluorescence Detecting Point of Care System",
abstract = "Point of care (POC) systems are being developed as alternative methods for disease detection in low resource settings. POC systems have the potential to provide quick and accurate results comparable to traditional laboratory tests which can take days to receive results. Our group has developed a POC system called a reader that was tested in different environmental conditions to simulate and predict performance in the field. Different housing configurations for the reader were tested in various light settings including indoor lighting, outdoor shade, and sunlight. The findings help to drive future design iterations of the reader to optimize fluorescent detection of isothermal assays. Stability testing of the reader was also investigated at different temperatures. The reader was found to have robust performance at room temperature and temperatures optimal for running isothermal assays.",
