Integrated portable biological detection system

An integrated system for the analysis of a biological sample containing eukaryotic and/or prokaryotic cells, comprising:

• a. a first electronic system for sample preparation, said system further comprising:
• at least one input port, a first flow cell connected to the input, a plurality of electrodes positioned within said flow cell wherein each electrode is capable of being electrically biased separately from the other electrodes, and at least one output port, said flow cell adapted to receive said sample via the input, said electrodes being operatively coupled to a power source adapted to electronically disrupt cell membranes within said sample;
• b. a second electronic system for sample analysis, said system further comprising:
• at least one input port, a second flow cell connected to the input, a plurality of electrodes positioned within said second flow cell wherein each electrode is capable of being electrically biased separately from the other electrodes, said electrodes comprising an active matrix array adapted to bind to predetermined molecules of interest within said sample for analysis of said molecules, and at least one output port, said input of the second electronic system being coupled to at least one output port of the first electronic system;
• c. a detector operatively positioned to detect said molecules bound to said active matrix array by a detectable signal;
• and
• d. a power source.

An integrated system for the analysis of a biological sample containing eukaroytic and/or prokaryotic cells, comprising:

• a. a first nonelectronic system for sample preparation, said system further comprising:
• at least one input port, a first flow cell connected to the input, a heater element, and at least one output port, said flow cell adapted to receive said sample via the input, said heater being operatively coupled to a power source adapted to heat said flow cell to a temperature sufficient to induce disruption of cell membranes within said sample;
• b. a second electronic system for sample analysis, said system further comprising:
• at least one input port, a second flow cell connected to the input, a plurality of electrodes positioned within said second flow cell wherein each electrode is capable of being electrically biased separately from the other electrodes, said electrodes comprising an active matrix array adapted to bind to predetermined molecules of interest within said sample for analysis of said molecules, and at least one output port, said input of the second electronic system being coupled to at least one output port of the first nonelectronic system;
• c. a detector operatively positioned to detect said molecules bound to said active matrix array by a detectable signal;
• and
• d. a power source.
