    Abstract: The invention(s) cover systems and methods for target detection in a multiplexed and rapid manner. Embodiments of the system can include: a base substrate; and an array of sample processing regions defined at a broad surface of the base substrate, wherein each of the array of sample processing regions includes: a set of microwell subarrays arranged in a gradient by volumetric capacity between an upstream end and a downstream end of each respective sample processing region, and a boundary separating each respective sample processing region from adjacent sample processing regions. The system can support methods, with example implementation by an automated platform, for returning preliminary results from a subset of microwells of the samples processing regions, as well as results pertaining to specific and non-specific amplification, for multiple targets of a sample.

    Abstract: An embodiment of a composition for target material separation includes: a body and one or more molecules coupled to the body and structured for functionalization of the composition. In embodiments, each of the one or more molecules can include one or more of: a linker region; a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) segment or oligo binding region; one or more barcode region(s); a unique molecule identifier; a preparation-facilitating segment; an active segment; and a molecular scissor or cleavage region, wherein various regions can be coupled together in order to provide functionality to the composition. The invention(s) also cover manufacturing of the composition and various applications of use, in the context of target material capture (e.g., from single cells or other biological material).
