Abstract
, respectively, which are beyond the quantitative capability of commonly used affordable point of care test kits. The envisaged paradigm of rapid, robust, highly accurate, energy-efficient, simple, user-friendly, multiplex portable detection, obviating any possible ambiguities in interpretation due to common artefacts of colorimetric detection technologies such as optical interference with the image analytical procedure due to the inherent redness of blood samples and background illumination, renders this ideal for deployment in resource-limited settings.
