TECHKON develops new method to analyse body fluids

TECHKON, a colour measurement and spectrophotometric solutions developer, has invented a device and method to analyse body fluids and determine medical parameters and diagnoses instantly.  

Depending on the type of medical parameter to be analysed, the user puts a drop of saliva, blood or any other body fluid on a card which contains a bio-/ chemical reaction substance and separation mechanism.

The rapid test result is displayed on the card or its backside as a change in colour or geometric pattern and put into context with a numerical or graphical description. It can be analysed visually and by using the camera and processing unit of a digital mobile device as a smartphone.

In case of a blood sample the card can contain a perforating-/ needle- or cutting-mechanism to extract blood, for example from the fingertip. The card can have a temperature, a personal identity, memory and/or data processing and transmission module and it can be part of a sterile packaging/disposal unit.

The method can be used for single- or multiple applications and for consecutive tests for trend evaluation.
