Lifotronic FA-160 is FIA principle based POCT rapid card reader. The instrument oers rapid card testing platform with quantitative result analysis. The instrument does not use conventional uorescent principle but is based on TRFIA principle.TRFIA is similar to uorometric assays but diers in its use of specic molecules like lanthanides which has unusual property of emittng over long periods of time after excitation( increased Stoke’s Shift) whereas in orescin 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 uorescent based assays and in turn oering better sensitivity
