## Description

GoStix Plus assays are life science research tools designed for rapid quantification of diverse analytes using a simple, lateral flow-based method. 10 minutes after applying your sample, a band will appear in the window of the GoStix Plus cassette at an intensity that correlates with the amount of analyte present. The cassette is then scanned using a smartphone camera or equivalent mobile device running the GoStix Plus app, which will then quantify the level of analyte in the sample based on the intensity of the band.

## Review summary

Overall, GoStix Plus is praised for being a convenient, cutting-edge tool that lets users quantify Lenti without a standard curve, with hardware that feels like a simple at-home test. However, repeated issues undermine value: barcode/lot-number scanning and manual-entry failures; camera focus problems on newer iPhones; frequent app crashes; inconsistent readings; and safety concerns about handling virus on a phone plus slow support. The app shows potential but usability, reliability, and safety must improve for broader adoption.

### Pros

- Convenient and cutting-edge for GoStix users.
- Enables Lenti quantification without a standard curve.
- Hardware/process feels simple, like an at-home test.
- Viewed as essential by some users.

### Cons

- Barcode/lot-number scanning and manual-entry recognition failures.
- Camera focus problems on newer iPhones hindering scanning.
- Frequent crashes and instability on iOS.
- Inconsistent or inaccurate readings.
- Safety concerns about handling virus on a phone and slow/unresponsive support.
