A free application is available for download, for research purposes, to convert your smartphone into an assay readout device, similar to a plate reader. You can also download a zip file of sample images that can be used with the application.
You will need a box that provides the darkened conditions required by the assay. A template can be generated from the following web site. Full details can be found in our instruction manual available here.
