A microfluidic-based lab-on-a-test card is described. The test card is used with a point-of-care (POC) analyzer. The test card is designed to receive a sample and then, with the use of the POC analyzer, quantify or count a particular substance in the sample. The test card may be comprised of multiple layers. In one embodiment, the test card includes a primary separation chamber with a filtration surface, a trapping channel, and a particle detector. The test card may also include a nanowire sensor.

A nanoelectronic device for detecting target molecules is described. The device has an array of nanoscale wires serving as sensors of target molecules and electrical contacts, electrically contacting the nanowires at end regions of the nanoscale wires. The end regions are covered with an insulating material. The insulating material also defines a window region of the nanoscale wires, not covered by the insulating material. Probe molecules are located on the nanoscale wires along the window region. A microfluidic channel can also be provided, to allow flow of the target molecules. A method of fabricating the nanoelectronic device is also shown and described.

Methods for using nanowire sensors are described. In one embodiment, the nanowire sensor may be field effect transistor having a nanowire and a functionalized control electrode. One method of using such a nanowire sensor includes exposing the functionalized control electrode to a test sample and an enhancing reagent. In another embodiment, the nanowire sensor may be a field effect transistor having a gate electrode and a functionalized nanowire. One method of using such a nanowire sensor includes exposing the functionalized nanowire to a test sample and an enhancing reagent. The use of an enhancing reagent increases the sensitivity of the nanowire sensor to a substance to be detected or quantified.
