ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a single-use electronic device and test card for use therein which performs a coagulation or lysis assay of a blood sample. The device includes a housing having an exterior surface and defining an interior area and means for receiving the sample through the housing into the interior space. A non-porous substrate is positioned within the interior space for receiving the sample thereon. A reagent accelerates the coagulation of the sample and is positioned on the substrate and in contact with the sample. Optionally, an electroactive species may also be reacted with the sample. The device also includes means for measuring the viscosity of the sample and generating an electrical signal which correlates to a curve of the coagulation/lysis assay. Processing means positioned within the interior space is connected to the measuring means for receiving and converting the electrical signal into a digital output corresponding to the coagulation/lysis assay using assay calibration information stored therein. Display means visually displays the digital output external to the housing and is connected to the processing means. A method of determining the coagulation or lysis of a sample provides for accelerating the coagulation of the sample by chemically reacting the sample with at least one reagent on the substrate to produce a detectable change in the viscosity of the sample which correlates with the state of coagulation or lysis of the sample and measuring the viscosity of the sample and generating an electrical signal which correlates to a curve of the coagulation/lysis assay.
