Colorimetric Point-of-Care Human Papillomavirus Diagnostic Reader

Abstract

We previously reported a fluorescence-based Point-of-care (PoC) diagnostic for human papillomavirus (HPV). In this work, we present our progress in modifying the system for colorimetric testing. This decreases the number of steps required to complete the assay, simplifies calibration, and decreases the cost of the system. We were able to confirm the system was successfully modified for colorimetric detection using a newly designed 3D printed cartridge and calibration slides.
