A method is for detecting a biomarker within a sample of blood. The method may include processing the sample of blood with a microfluidic blood plasma separator and a plasmonic array biosensor, and flowing the sample of blood over a sensing surface of the plasmonic array biosensor. The sensing surface of the plasmonic array biosensor may have an ssDNA aptamer against the biomarker. The method may further include binding the biomarker in the sample of blood to the ssDNA aptamer of the plasmonic array biosensor, and detecting the biomarker in the sample of blood based upon LSPR altering a reflected optical signal from the plasmonic array biosensor.

A method of determining the result of an assay in a microfluidic device includes the steps of: dispensing a sample droplet onto a first portion of an electrode array of the microfluidic device; dispensing a reagent droplet onto a second portion of the electrode array of the microfluidic device; controlling actuation voltages applied to the electrode array to mix the sample droplet and the reagent droplet into a product droplet; sensing a dynamic property of the product droplet; and determining an assay of the sample droplet based on the sensed dynamic property. The dynamic property is a physical property of the product droplet that influences a transport property of the product droplet on the electrode array. Example dynamic properties of the product droplet include the moveable state, split-able state, and viscosity based on droplet properties. The method may be used to perform an amoebocyte lysate (LAL) assay.

Provided are methods for profiling cellular analytes of a cell by barcoding the cell in a combinatorial split and pool iterative process. In some instances, a cell bead may be generated from the cell, and the analytes therein barcoded in a combinatorial split and pool iterative process while the analytes are retained in the cell bead during iterative partitioning.
