Abstract: Embodiments provide detection systems and methods for detecting the presence of a nucleic acid in one or more samples. In a detection method, a sample and one or more nucleic acid probes are introduced into a channel. A first potential difference is applied across the length of the channel in a first direction, and a first electrical property value is detected. Subsequently, a second potential difference is applied across the length of the channel in a second opposite direction, and a second electrical property value is detected. Presence or absence of a nucleic acid in the channel is determined based on a comparison between the first and second electrical property values.

Abstract: The present application is generally directed to systems, methods, and devices for diagnostics for sensing and/or identifying pathogens, genomic materials, proteins, and/or other small molecules or biomarkers. In some implementations, a small footprint low cost device provides rapid and robust sensing and identification. Such a device may utilize microfluidics, biochemistry, and electronics to detect one or more targets at once in the field and closer to or at the point of care.

Abstract: Embodiments provide analyte detection methods, techniques and processes for detecting the presence of one or more analytes in one or more samples. In a detection method, a sample and a sensor compound is introduced into a channel. A first potential difference is applied across the length of the channel in a first direction, and a first electrical property value is detected. Subsequently, a second potential difference is applied across the length of the channel in a second opposite direction, and a second electrical property value is detected. Presence or absence of an analyte in the channel is determined based on a comparison between the first and second electrical property values.

Abstract: Embodiments provide silver detection systems and methods for detecting the presence of silver ions in one or more samples. In a detection method, a sample and TPEA2 molecules are introduced into a channel. A first potential difference is applied across the length of the channel in a first direction, and a first electrical property value is detected. Subsequently, a second potential difference is applied across the length of the channel in a second opposite direction, and a second electrical property value is detected. Presence or absence of silver ions in the channel is determined based on a comparison between the first and second electrical property values.

Abstract: Embodiments provide analyte detection systems for detecting the presence of one or more analytes in one or more samples. An exemplary detection system includes at least one channel for accommodating a sample and a sensor compound, the channel having a width and a length that is significantly greater in dimension than the width. An exemplary detection system includes an analyte detection circuit programmed or configured to detect one or more electrical properties along at least a portion of the length of the channel to determine whether the channel contains an analyte of interest.
