Paper device performance with ALT and AST spiked into fresh whole human blood. Thirty μl were pipetted onto each device. (A and B) Device readout linearity for color intensity versus concentration of ALT (A) or AST (B). Each datum is an average of 3 independent measurements from 3 separate devices. Dashed lines represent the upper and lower 95% prediction intervals. ALT values are normalized by subtracting each point from 255 so that higher color intensity values correspond to higher ALT concentrations (Supplementary Methods). (C and D) LOD curves for ALT (C) and AST (D). Data are normalized such that the lowest intensity measured yields a value of 0 color intensity on the y-axis. Solid lines represent a nonlinear regression of the Hill Equation. The data are averages of 7 measurements ± SD.
