Abstract :
In this paper, we present a point-of-care test equipment which can afford `flexibility´, `portability´ and `low cost´. Firstly, the system components which include reagent tray, dispensing module, microfluidic disk rotor and photometry scanner, and each of their functions are explained. Then, test results of some of diagnostic tests are included to show the reliability of the point-of-care test equipment.
