Abstract: An assay device includes a colorimetric testing assembly including a detection area, a fluid inlet, and a microfluidic network including a first path extending to the detection area and a second path extending to the detection area. When a fluid (e.g., a buffer fluid or a combined buffer and sample solution) is provided to the fluid inlet, a first portion of the fluid rehydrates a first dried reagent (e.g., a dried enzyme label) disposed along the first path to produce a first rehydrated reagent and a second portion of the fluid rehydrates a second dried reagent (e.g., a dried substrate) to produce a second rehydrated reagent. The first rehydrated reagent and the second rehydrated reagent are then sequentially delivered to the detection area by capillary-driven flow to perform the assay.

Abstract: An assay device includes an electrochemical testing assembly having a test channel including a capture reagent selected to capture a target analyte and an electrode having a surface in communication with the test channel. The assay device further includes a microfluidic network in communication with the test channel, a buffer fluid inlet in communication with the microfluidic network, and a detection reagent disposed within the microfluidic network. When a buffer fluid is provided to the buffer fluid inlet, the buffer fluid transports the detection reagent to the test channel by capillary-driven flow, and wherein the electrode is configured to measure an electrical response indicating capture of the target analyte by the capture reagent after transportation of the detection reagent to the test channel.

Abstract: The invention discloses a method and a system to detect a target nucleic acid sequence in a sample using padlock probe-based rolling circle amplification and nuclease protection. Padlock probe-based rolling circle amplification and nuclease protection may be used in combination with other detection assays to detect target nucleic acid sequences in a sample.

Abstract: A waveguide sensor capable of direct, real-time detection and monitoring of analytes in the vicinity of the waveguide surface without requiring the tagging or labeling of the analyte, is described. Analytic and numerical calculations have predicted that by locally detecting either changes in the evanescent field or changes in the light coupled out of the waveguide as a result of the presence of the analyte, high detection sensitivity will be able to be achieved.

Abstract: Enzymatic biosensors and methods of producing distal tips for biosensor transducers for use in detecting one or more analytes selected from organic compounds susceptible to dehalogenation, organic compounds susceptible to oxygenation and organophosphate compounds susceptible to hydrolysis are disclosed herein, as well as biosensor arrays, methods of detecting and quantifying analytes within a mixture, and devices and methods for delivering reagents to enzymes disposed within the distal tip of a biosensor.
