The strip systems, methods, devices and associated kits disclosed herein are used to determine the presence and / or level a target
analyte(s) in sample (e.g., a biological sample such as
saliva or
nasal swab) wherein the target
analyte(s) may be a
microorganism (e.g., a whole
virus) or molecule (e.g., a
viral antigen) associated with a healthy state,
disease or injury or otherwise altered
physiological condition. In certain embodiments, the systems, methods, devices and kits provide one or more improved properties relative to the lateral flow
protein and other assays known in the art for the detection, including but not limited to,
assay time, ease of use,
risk of infection, accuracy, specificity, selectivity, limit of detection of the
assay, quantitative detection and the effect of common interferents to the sensor output, cost, simplicity or a combination thereof. In certain embodiments, the systems, assays, methods and kids are multiplexed, i.e., permit detection or monitoring of more than one target
analyte (e.g., two different viruses or a
virus and a bacterium).
