    Abstract: Devices for detecting biomarkers in a sample and methods for detecting such biomarkers are discussed. The biomarkers may be associated with a particular disease such as breast cancer or another health condition. The devices may contain a disc including a plurality of microfluidic channels extending in a radial direction of the disc, the microfluidic channels pre-loaded with a plurality of capture molecules specific to at least one biomarker. The methods may include introducing a fluid sample into at least one microfluidic channel of a disc, rotating the disc, such that the fluid sample flows radially outward through the at least one microfluidic channel to combine with capture molecules specific to at least one biomarker, and detecting a signal from the disc indicative of a presence of the at least one biomarker contained in the fluid sample.
