Abstract
A biological sample analysis device includes a casing that encloses a biological sample delivery system hydraulically coupled to a sensor, wherein the sensor includes a plurality of Graphene transistors and each transistor covalently bonds with a biomarker causing the electrical properties of the transistor to measurably change when the biomarker is exposed to corresponding antibodies within an infected biological sample.
Claims20
A system for electronic biological sample analysis comprising:
- a biological sample sensor;
- wherein the biological sample sensor comprises a plurality of transistors;
- one or more of the transistors comprises a scattering site;
- and
- the scattering site comprises a covalent bond to a biomarker, such that if the biomarker is exposed to an infected biological sample while voltage is applied to the transistor, the conductance of the transistor will change.

The method for electronic biological sample analysis comprising:
- introducing a biological sample to a sample chamber, the sample chamber comprising a sensor configured to output a first current range when the sample sensor is exposed to a sterile liquid and a second current range when the sensor is exposed to predetermined antibodies;
- applying a voltage to the sensor;
- measuring a current output from the sensor;
- and
- determining if the current output is within the first current range or the second current range.
2 more elements
A system for electronically analyzing a biological sample comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- at least one computer program residing on the processor;
- wherein the computer program is stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium having computer executable program code embodied thereon, the computer executable program code configured to:
- apply a voltage to a sensor during exposure of a biological sample to a biological analysis sensor configured to output a first current range when the sample sensor is exposed to a sterile liquid and a second current range when the sensor is exposed to predetermined antibodies;
- measure a current output from the sensor at regular time;
- calculate a current output trend;
