    Abstract: Early stage, rapid, low-cost detection of disease components in a biological sample is critically important. A point of care device can include a collection region and can be used to hold a sample that is combined with a fluorescent dye and a plurality of magnetic particles such that disease components in the sample are tagged with the fluorescent dye and the plurality of magnetic particles. At least one magnet can be located next to the collection region to establish a magnetic field gradient to draw the tagged disease components into the collection region from the device. A fluorescence microscope can image the small collection region based on the fluorescent dye to detect the disease components. The fluorescence microscope uses light to excite the fluorescent dye and a filter to transmit light emitted by the fluorescent dye to the fluorescence microscope, while restricting light used to excite the fluorescent dye.

    Abstract: A diagnostic device is provided that comprises a light source for transmitting a light beam through a blood sample to a light detector, and a permanent magnet, wherein one of the permanent magnet and blood sample is automatically movable relative to the other between a “HIGH” magnetic state position and a “LOW” magnetic state position, such that a substantially high magnetic field is applied to the blood sample causing any hemozoin in the blood sample to tend toward perpendicular orientation to the substantially magnetic field and the suppression, or enhancement of light based on its polarization, and a zero-to-near-zero magnetic field is applied to the blood sample causing the randomization of any hemozoin in the blood sample and a baseline amount of light to pass through the blood sample in the “LOW” magnetic state position.

    Abstract: Early stage, rapid, low-cost, and accurate detection of disease components in a biological fluid is critically important. A point of care device can use functionalized magnetic beads to facilitate this detection. The device can include a sample holder with a collection region. A magnet can be used to draw the functionalized nanoparticles bound to the disease component into the collection region, where the disease component is captured. A light source can shine a light beam through the collection region; and a detector can detect the light beam after traversing the collection region to determine whether the disease component is present in the sample.

    Abstract: Disease components can be detected in a fluid using magnetic particles and microfluidics. Magnetic particles are combined with a sample in a fluid. The sample may include disease components. The magnetic particles can be configured to tag any disease components within the sample. The fluid can be forced into a microchamber with two microcompartments. In the first microcompartment, the fluid can be exposed to a magnetic field and/or magnetic field gradient. The tagged disease component can be trapped by the magnetic field and/or magnetic field gradient due to the magnetic particles, allowing nonmagnetic components of the fluid to be washed away while the tagged disease components remain trapped by the magnetic field and/or magnetic field gradient. Then, the disease components can be forced into a more narrow second microcompartment and detected using optical instruments.
