UCP-LF formats. Figure legend: Various UCP-LF multi-biomarker test (MBT) formats with distinctive biomarker signatures have been built and evaluated in previous studies [21]. While the structure was initially limited by restrictions of the portable UCP-strip readers, the introduction of a portable reader capable of 2D scan (ESE Quant LR3 version) for use in the TriageTB study allowed the application of the parallel MBT format. The use of parallel strips, each specific for a single biomarker, minimizes potential cross reactivity and each strip has standard dimensions, important for production. Available standard cassettes can hold 3 parallel strips. In this study, for CRP, IP-10 and SAA1
