    Abstract: Hydrophilic threads as platforms for inexpensive, low volume, portable diagnostic systems, and methods of making the same are described. A diagnostic system includes a hydrophilic loading thread having an inlet zone at a proximal end; a testing zone at a distal end; and an intermediate zone located between the inlet zone and the testing zone, wherein the testing zone does not directly contact the inlet zone. In another aspect, a diagnostic system includes (i) a hydrophilic loading thread that includes an inlet zone at a proximal end and an intermediate zone at a distal end; and (ii) one or more additional hydrophilic threads that contact the intermediate zone of the loading thread. A method of detecting the presence or absence of an analyte in a fluid sample includes applying the sample to an inlet zone of a diagnostic system that includes a hydrophilic loading thread with an inlet zone at a proximal end; an intermediate zone; and a testing zone at a distal end; wherein the testing zone does not directly contact the inlet zone.

    Abstract: The invention features an assay device, a microfluidic device, and a method of detecting the presence of high electrolyte concentration in a fluid sample. The assay device comprises a porous, hydrophilic substrate; a fluid-impermeable barrier defining a boundary of an assay region and a boundary of a main channel region, the main channel region fluidically connected to the assay region; and a strip of conductive material disposed on the porous, hydrophilic substrate. The microfluidic device comprises a porous, hydrophilic substrate; a fluid-impermeable barrier, the barrier permeating the thickness of the porous, hydrophilic substrate and defining within the porous, hydrophilic substrate a boundary of an open-ended channel having first and second lateral walls; and an electrically conductive pathway disposed on the porous, hydrophilic substrate, the electrically conductive pathway comprising (i) a strip of conductive material forming an open circuit in the absence of an electrically conductive material bridging the first and second lateral walls; and (ii) a battery, an electrically-responsive indicator, and a resistor electrically connected to the strip of conductive material.
