A microfluidic-based lab-on-a-test card is described. The test card is used with a point-of-care (POC) analyzer. The test card is designed to receive a sample and then, with the use of the POC analyzer, quantify or count a particular substance in the sample. The test card may be comprised of multiple layers. In one embodiment, the test card includes a primary separation chamber with a filtration surface, a trapping channel, and a particle detector. The test card may also include a nanowire sensor.

Methods for using nanowire sensors are described. In one embodiment, the nanowire sensor may be field effect transistor having a nanowire and a functionalized control electrode. One method of using such a nanowire sensor includes exposing the functionalized control electrode to a test sample and an enhancing reagent. In another embodiment, the nanowire sensor may be a field effect transistor having a gate electrode and a functionalized nanowire. One method of using such a nanowire sensor includes exposing the functionalized nanowire to a test sample and an enhancing reagent. The use of an enhancing reagent increases the sensitivity of the nanowire sensor to a substance to be detected or quantified.
