Examples of modified
smartphones and dedicated devices for signal
acquisition and data transmission to the cloud: (A) smartphone for
reading lateral flow tests; (B) smartphone for bio-chemiluminescent
detection on paper devices; (C) multifunctional electrochemical detector
for performing various types of electrochemical techniques (e.g.,
chronoamperometry, pulsed voltammetry, potentiometry) using readily
available electrodes; (D) updated version of device C that facilitates
temperature control and electrochemical detection on paper-based devices;
(E) smartphone for liquid-based colorimetric assays; and (F) surface
plasma resonance biosensor installed on a smartphone. The figures
