Researchers at the University of Urbana-Champaign in Illinois have developed a technology to analyze blood, urine, or saliva samples using a smartphone. According to the researchers, a TRI (Transmit-Reflected Intensity) analyzer can detect liquids that generate light output by sensing test results with color-changing liquids. To use it, a fluid sample is placed at the device's inlet and illuminated with a white LED flash or a built-in green laser diode. The light passes through a diffraction grating via an optical fiber to the rear camera, and an app analyzes specific color changes to identify the sample. New Atlas reported that this technology can be utilized in fields such as environmental monitoring, drug testing, manufacturing quality control, and food safety, in addition to medical diagnostics.
