| Result Timing |
|
The SNAP Reader takes as little as six minutes to run a T,
cortisol or bile acids assay and report the results. T
and cortisol have a five-minute incubation step prior to analysis. |

Available assays are bile acids, T and cortisol. Assay devices
are packaged in boxes of six or fifteen T devices, and six bile acids or
cortisol devices. |
