Method and devices for detecting viruses and bacterial pathogens

A device for detecting an analyte comprising:

• at least one substrate;
• a first conductive layer added to the at least one substrate forming an electrode pattern with at least two working electrodes and one counter electrode;
• a second conductive layer added to the first conductive layer that forms the electrode pattern with at least two working electrodes and one counter electrode;
• a sensor integrated into the electrode pattern and inductively associated with selectable biologically sensitive molecules coated into the sensor;
• at least one single-stranded molecule bound to the second conductive layer, wherein the at least one single-stranded molecule binds to the analyte when complementary single-stranded molecules bond together to form a double-stranded molecule;
• and
• wherein the binding of the at least one single-stranded molecule to the analyte generates a profile response when in contact with a deposited bodily fluid test sample indicative of at least a positive or negative or inconclusive test result.
