C 2014 American Chemical Society Immunochromatographic Diagnostic Test Analysis Using Google Glass

arly detection of emerging public health threats is very important to prevent long-term undesired effects and reduce disease burden globally. Over the past decade, lateral flow based immuno-chromatographic tests or rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs), which are in general based on light scattering off surface-functionalized metallic nanoparticles, have emerged as a quick and cost-effective method to screen various diseases providing complementary approaches to conventional medical prac-tices, such as clinical examination, micro-scopic analysis, and investigation. RDT technologies have since provided variou
