A device for photometric qualification of lateral flow quick tests by means of camera imaging includes an arrangement which manages with a pinhole aperture with a slot-shaped opening, which has been integrated into the basic housing body, in which the imaging has been optimized with a view to diffraction, imaging scale and integration behavior and in which the illumination and all the components are arranged in a housing which can be produced at a reasonable price, with the result that the quantifiability of customary LFA quick tests is made possible for the user with a sufficient precision. The device can transmit test-specific data automatically and contact-free with the help of electromagnetic waves via a transponder (RFID) and is thus suited for various tests and for quantification of LFA's. The device may work autonomously with an internal microcontroller (embedded system). The figures can be stored and optionally transmitted to a computer via an interface.

Device for digital reading of quick tests

The embodiments relate to a sensor strip () and to a flexible support strip () for receiving the sensor strip and for fixing the strip to a surface e.g. to the back of a test person. According to the embodiments, the sensor strip () has a reference point (), (for example a snap fastener connection), with which it can be fixed to a reference surface () of the support strip. This allows the position of the sensor strip () to be unambiguously defined on the support strip (). The further extension of the sensor strip () lies in a pocket () so that it can slide, allowing the relative movement between the support strip and the sensor strip if the support strip is lengthened (represented by a dot-dash line). The entire sensor unit is thus advantageously more comfortable to wear, as the elastic support strip (), for example, can freely follow the back movements of the test person.
