Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to a method and apparatus for locating a target location on a reaction cell and using the target location to perform an assay. In an example embodiment, a method of performing at least one assay includes obtaining at least one image of a fluid sample located on a reaction cell and creating a set of derivative data including a plurality of derivative data points based on the at least one image. The method also includes determining an image gradient data point for each of the plurality of derivative data points and determining a target location of the fluid sample in the reaction cell based on the image gradient data points. The method further includes performing at least one assay using the target location of the fluid sample in the reaction cell.
