Signal detection and data sharing. (a) LFA readout:
A reporter
labeled with FAM and biotin can be detected on the commercial Millenia
1T LFA strip. FAM has an affinity for the anti-FITC antibody, and
biotin binds streptavidin. If the reporter is not cleaved, migration
stops at the streptavidin lane. If the reporter is cleaved, the FITC-bound
FAM reporter migrates further toward the anti-FITC antibody lane,
giving a positive test result. (b) Fluorescent readout: A fluorescence
signal can be visually interpreted using portable, affordable devices
such as P51. (c) Digital signal acquisition and data sharing: Smartphone
apps enabled by artificial intelligence can acquire a signal generated
by a device such as P51, interpret the signal, and share it with concerned
public health institutions.
