Abstract
A coupled enzyme reaction point of care assay system detects and measures an active enzyme biomarker from a patient's blood sample. The assay system has a point of care blood collector for collecting blood into a blood collection vial. A biomarker detection mechanism has at least three fluid flow entities. Each fluid flow entity has a fluid input zone and a corresponding reaction zone. The fluid flow entities include a test strip, a negative control strip and a positive control strip. The reaction zones include components from a multiplicity of substrates, co-factors, buffers and cryoprotectants, and a multiplicity of tethered enzymes. At least one of the tethered enzymes is an enzyme that produces luminescence. The tethered enzymes are adapted to react to a constituent which may be a biomarker. A photonic luminescence reader measures light emitted from an active enzyme biomarker present in the patient's blood.
