[0002] Lateral flow immunochromatography technology has become a major detection technology in the fields of food safety and medical treatment because of its fast detection, portability, and simple operation. It uses a combination of antigens and antibodies to qualitatively and quantitatively detect the concentration of the solution of the substance to be tested. However, the reading results of traditional immunochromatographic test strips such as colloidal gold and latex microspheres mainly rely on naked eye observation. Due to differences in personal vision and the influence of observation angle, different observers may have different judgments on the results of the same test strip, resulting in inaccurate results. In addition, at different times and under different environmental conditions, the color change of the test strip may be affected by external factors such as light and temperature, making the results less reproducible. After reading the test strip results with the traditional method, the data needs to be recorded manually, which is prone to errors.
