Point-of-care plasmonic-photonic multifunction device

本申请是第二阶段的合作研究与开发（CRD）项目，作为先前资助的为期一年的第一阶段CRD项目“床旁护理光纤多功能平台”的直接延续，该项目计划于2015年秋季结束。I期CRD导致开发了一种概念验证设备，用于对生物样本中的基因突变或感染因子进行即时分子诊断检测。虽然Spartan内部研发团队建立在拟议设计的基础上，并为未来的商业化优化了设备，但我们在这个后续CRD项目中的任务是充分探索各种替代设计，这些设计被认为是原型，但由于时间不够而没有进行。

This application is for a phase II Collaborative Research and Development (CRD) project as a direct continuation of the previously funded one-year long phase I CRD project "Point-of-care fiber optic multifunction platform" that is scheduled to end in the fall of 2015. The phase I CRD resulted in a development of a proof-of-concept device for point of care molecular diagnostic testing of genetic mutations or infectious agents in bio-samples. While the Spartan internal R&D team builds upon the proposed design and optimize the device for future commercialization, our task in this follow-up CRD project is to explore fully a variety of alternative designs that were considered for the prototype but not pursued for lack of time.
