Abstract
Systems, methods and devices for detecting a presence of an analyte in a fluid sample are described herein. The devices include a microfluidic module having a microfluidic channel configured to receive the fluid sample at an inlet thereof and direct the fluid sample towards an outlet thereof. The devices also include an image sensor positioned removably abutting the microfluidic module. The image sensor is positioned laterally between the inlet and the outlet of the microfluidic channel and below a lower surface of the microfluidic channel. The image sensor is communicatively coupled to a processor that is configured to receive signal data from the image sensor. The devices also include a light source configured to direct light through the fluid sample and towards the image sensor as the fluid sample passes through the microfluidic channel. The image sensor receives the light and outputs the signal data to the processor.
