Open-Source CNC Workstation for Paper-Based Diagnostic Assay Assembly

This dataset contains the design files and firmware for an open-source CNC workstation developed to automate the assembly of paper-based diagnostic assays. The repository includes Arduino code for controlling a Vevor CNC 3040 (supporting LFIA, dipstick, and duplex formats), 3D-printable STL files for assay holders, and supplemental firmware for alternative assay types. The system integrates CNC motion with vacuum-based pick-and-place functionality, enabling low-cost and reproducible assay assembly. These files support the associated HardwareX publication and can be adapted for use in other point-of-care diagnostic device research.

本数据集包含一款专为自动化纸质诊断检测试剂组装开发的开源数控工作站的设计文件与固件。本仓库包含用于控制Vevor CNC 3040的Arduino代码（支持侧向流免疫层析检测（Lateral Flow Immunoassay, LFIA）、试纸条及双联检测格式）、用于固定检测试剂的3D可打印STL文件，以及适配其他检测类型的补充固件。该系统将数控运动与真空拾取放置功能相集成，可实现低成本且可复现的检测试剂组装流程。本数据集的文件配套发表于HardwareX的相关研究论文，亦可被适配用于其他即时诊断设备的相关研究工作。
