Methods for determining whether certain compounds, in particular crystals, are present in a sample of a biological fluid that indicates an individual has a particular disease or condition, such as but not limited to gout, pseudogout or urinary tract stones. In some embodiments, the methods include the steps of digestion and filtration of a sample of synovial fluid in order to isolate, if present, monosodium urate monohydrate (MSU), calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD), or calcium phosphate crystals from the sample, wherein the filtrate is analyzed with a Raman device to ascertain the presence and type of the crystals. Devices for performing steps of the method are disclosed.

Described are methods for generating a reporter molecule in response to a target analyte in a cell-free system. A synthetic biological circuit is used to modify the level of the reporter molecule in response to the presence of the target analyte. The reporter molecule may be glucose or another molecule readily detected using a device such as glucose monitor or other portable sensor. Also provided are kits comprising a cell-free system with a synthetic biological circuit that generates or consumes a reporter molecule in response to a target analyte.
