Device for reading, processing and transmitting test result data for pathogens or viruses in fluid test samples

A method for detecting biologic analytical target pathogens of a fluid sample, comprising:

• providing on a plurality of conductive fluid sensors a primer/probe solution having a single-stranded DNA reconstituted from aliquoted DNA stock;
• depositing the fluid test sample on a plurality of conductive fluid sensors coupled to the plurality of interdigitated electrodes (IDEs);
• using a plurality of selective binding properties of the primer/probe solution to lift off the primer/probe from the conductive fluid sensors surface when a select single-stranded RNA/DNA of a pathogen binds to the single-stranded DNA;
• measuring with a measurement device coupled to the IDEs a change in at least one of resistance and conductivity upon presenting the fluid test sample to the conductive fluid sensor;
• reading, with a reader coupled to the measurement device configured, any changes in at least one of resistance and conductivity test data;
• analyzing, with a processor coupled to the reader, a feature vector representation of time-series data, wherein the vector representation of time-series data includes a minimum relative value, a maximum relative value, positive area under the baseline relative domain curve, negative area under the baseline relative domain curve, and average value of all values in the baseline relative domain curve;
• reporting a positive result if at least one of resistance decreases and conductivity increases of the fluid test sample is detected based on the feature vector representation;
• and
• storing, in a reader log memory device, operational parameters, intermediate test data, and completed test results.
