“…Microscopic observation of the tissues has come a long way from the time of Anton van Leeuwenhoek to today's [5] sophisticated techniques. In era of digitalization, two emerging alternative solutions in the field of academic as well as in commercial field has made analysing slides quicker and [2] even rapid access to prior cases. Also COVID 19 pandemic has brought unpredictable challenges for pathologist to adapt to a new environment that mandates appropriate social [3] distancing while maintaining effective delivery of reporting.…”

Context – Digital pathology involves collecting, managing, sharing and interpreting pathological information including [1] slides and data in a digital environment. In the age of digitization, these two alternative solutions were developed to evaluate and compare smartphones and JENOPTIK based photomicrographs slide imaging. This will help you create [2] your own digital library archive for future reference. The COVID-19 pandemic has brought novel challenges to educational programs worldwide, with pathologists adopting new imaging techniques for slides that mandate social [3,4] distancing while maintaining effective delivery of educational materials. Care centers are adopting digital technology slide imaging. Improve the quality, innovation and convenience of case reporting. In this Summary: study, percentage of measure of agreement was 85.3%, 89.1% and 81.5%, 83.7% for the slide images taken in the JENOPTIK and smartphone-based photomicrographs and analyzed by Observer 1 and Observer 2, respectively. It can be seen that the serial photomicrographs taken by JENOPTIK has better diagnostic accuracy as compared to SMART PHONE based photomicrographs.

“…Point‐of‐care testing (POCT) simplifies medical diagnostics through decentralized and patient‐centered diagnostic testing. [ 1 ] For example, at emergency departments in hospitals, POCT can shorten the turnaround time and lessen the workload stipulated by conventional laboratory tests (which typically require precise weighing, pipetting, and complex steps operated by experts) by enabling bedside testing. [ 2 ] More importantly, at community health centers or outdoor clinics, compact and simple POCT platforms, such as lateral flow assay (LFA), make diagnostic tests highly accessible, affordable, and easily operable by nonexperts without complex instrumentation, allowing for disease diagnosis in resource‐limited settings.…”

health centers or outdoor clinics, compact and simple POCT platforms, such as lateral flow assay (LFA), make diagnostic tests highly accessible, affordable, and easily operable by nonexperts without complex instrumentation, allowing for disease diagnosis in resource-limited settings. [3] As such, because POCT can be used in a wide range of environments, the components used for POCT, especially bio/chemical reagents involved in assays, must be maintained robustly to ensure reproducible and reliable test results regardless of the resource setting. [4] However, diagnostic tests for POCT are engineered based on assays and sensing principles employed in solution-based conventional laboratory tests; thus, they share labile biochemical reagents (i.e., antibodies (Ab), enzymes, nucleic acids, and organic/inorganic compounds) that benefit from a cold chain (4 or −20 °C) for stable storage. Nevertheless, most communities relying on POCT have uncontrolled environments, such as much higher temperatures than in laboratory settings and restricted cold-chain infrastructure, limiting the facile translation of well-validated diagnostic assays toward accessible POCT in the field. [5] This situation introduces a critical challenge in POCT, namely, realizing cold-chain-free storage of assay reagents that require a cold chain during transportation to and storage at the end-user location.Maintaining the stability of assay reagents is essential to ensure the quality and reliability of diagnostic tests. Healthcare issues, such as the COVID-19 pandemic and the shifting of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) toward developing countries, continue to occur globally. [6] Therefore, there is an increasing need for preventive and impactful disease control via POCTbased high-performance diagnostic measures (e.g., a high-sensitivity immunoassay or point-of-care nucleic acid test [POC-NAT]), [7] which utilize multiple reagents that are more sensitive than those in conventional POCT and therefore require strict maintenance of reagent stability. To resolve this problem, many commercial assays, such as POC-NAT, have adopted lyophilized reagents stored in disposable cartridges for cold-chainfree storage. [8] However, this requires centralized manufacturing facilities entailing costly maintenance/repair, [9] thereby increasing the assay cost and potentially limiting local distribution amidst a pandemic. [10] An approach under research, wherein the assay reagents are encapsulated in tablet shapes (using compression or casting methods), has been demonstrated as effective for cold-chain-free reagent storage. [11] However, the rigid Simplifying assays while maintaining the robustness of reagents is a challenge in diagnostics. This problem is exacerbated when translating quality diagnostic assays to developing countries that lack resources and infrastructure such as trained health workers, high-end equipment, and cold-chain systems. To solve this problem, in this study, a simple solution that films assay reagents to simplify the operation of diagnostic assay...
