1. A method of adjusting a final signal value measured on a lateral flow assay test strip, comprising:
- measuring signal values while performing a lateral flow assay reaction on a test strip;
determining an extreme signal value;
determining an interim signal value, wherein the interim signal value is measured a pre-determined time period after the extreme signal value is measured;
determining a final signal value; and
adjusting the final signal value based upon the interim signal value.

Abstract
A method of adjusting a final signal value measured on a lateral flow assay test strip, by: identifying a pre-determined calibration method for the test strip, wherein the pre-determined calibration method corresponds to the manufacturing lot from which the test strip has been made; measuring signal values while performing a lateral flow assay reaction on a test strip; determining a final signal value; and adjusting the final signal value based upon the identified pre-selected calibration method for the test strip.
