Skannex unveiled a smartphone-based lateral flow reader at AACC 2012 in Los Angeles. SkanSmart’s proprietary software platform enables rapid handheld reading of existing commercially available flow assay formats. Results can be printed wirelessly, emailed, or downloaded. Infectious disease, STD and illegal drug testing are immediate potential beneficiaries. The lateral flow testing market continues to grow globally, and SkanSmart plans to meet demands in both developed and developing markets.
