Abstract
Apparatuses and methods related to a point-of-care portable assay device are described herein. In an embodiment, a device for analyzing a fluid sample includes a fluid actuation source configured to engage a port on a test card. The fluid actuation source is configured to apply pressure to the port to cause the fluid sample to move along a microchannel of the test card to enable one or more assays to be performed. The device also includes a controller configured to receive an indication as to which one or more assays are to be performed, cause the fluid actuation source to move the fluid sample into one or more regions on the test card, cause a plurality of electrical contacts to provide power to the test card for performing the one or more assays, and determine at least one test result based on the performed assays.
