Lifotronic FA-160 is FIA principle based POCT rapid card reader. The instrument offers rapid card testing platform with quantitative result analysis. The instrument does not use conventional Fluorescent principle but is based on TRFIA principle.TRFIA is similar to Fluorometric assays but differs in its use of specific molecules like lanthanides which has unusual property of emitting over long periods of time after excitation( increased Stoke’s Shift) where as in Fluorescein based assays the emission starts with in few seconds of being excited ( reduced Stoke’s shift).Thus avoiding the elevated background signals as seen in standard Fluorescent based assays and in turn offering better sensitivity
