Description

An ongoing research collaboration focuses on developing Paper Analytical Devices (PADs) to test for substandard pharmaceuticals. Part of this process involves the colorimetric analysis of chemical reactions that take place on the PADs, that determine the quality of the pharmaceutical. The developed computational analysis software locates the regions of interest and is used to catalog data corresponding to colors detected. The software can also compare unknown PAD samples with the cataloged data of known samples. This process removes human obstacles of qualitative determination and provides qualitative results.
