Abstract:
A device for detecting the presence of a target in a sample including a first port configured to receive a multi-layered substrate having a sample inlet and a reagent inlet. The sample inlet is connected to a first microfluidic channel and the reagent inlet is connected to both the first microfluidic channel and a second microfluidic channel. The second microfluidic channel has a longer pathway than the first microfluidic channel. A first test strip and a second test strip are each connected to both the first microfluidic channel and the second microfluidic channel, while a third test strip is connected only to the first microfluidic channel. Each test strip includes a conjugate section, a detection section, and a collection section.

Claim (Index 11):
A method for detecting the presence of a target in a sample, comprising the steps of:\n providing a device having a first port configured to receive a multi-layered substrate having a sample inlet and a reagent inlet, wherein the sample inlet is connected to a first microfluidic channel and the reagent inlet is connected to both the first microfluidic channel and a second microfluidic channel, and further wherein the second microfluidic channel comprises a longer pathway than the first microfluidic channel, and further comprising a first test strip and a second test strip each connected to both the first microfluidic channel and the second microfluidic channel, and a third test strip connected only to the first microfluidic channel, wherein each test strip comprising a conjugate section, a detection section, and a collection section; and a second port configured to receive a MIC chip interface, wherein the MIC chip interface has an open volume configured to receive a MIC chip therein, the MIC chip comprising one or more wells, wherein the MIC chip interface comprises one or more magnets that align with the wells when the MIC chip is inserted into the open volume of the MIC chip interface; applying an antibiotic to a solid media in each well; inserting the MIC chip into the MIC chip interface; mixing a sample with a biorecognition element to create a mixture; depositing the mixture into the MIC chip; and flowing the mixture across the wells.
