Provided are biosensors, systems and related methods of using the biosensors and systems. The biosensor comprises a field-effect transistor (FET) having a crumpled geometry to effectively increase the detection sensitivity of a target molecule in an ionic solution. A FET having a crumpled semiconductor material channel can form a π-π interaction with single stranded DNA (ssDNA) for amplification detection applications. Increasing amount of ssDNA in an amplification reaction solution is incorporated into an amplified double stranded DNA, with increasing amplification, resulting in a lower amount of ssDNA primers. The FET is contacted with the amplified solution to electrically detect an amount of ssDNA primer in the amplified solution, thereby detecting amplification based on a decreased amount of ssDNA bound to the FET. Also provided are biosensors that can detect biomolecules more generally, such as protein, polypeptides, polynucleotides, or small molecules.

A device for detecting nucleic acids in a biological sample has a sample port, a lysis station and a sample conduit configured to mix a sample and lysis agent to form a sample-lysis mixture, pass the sample-lysis mixture across a solid-state membrane to capture nucleic acids in the biological sample therein, and receive the remainder of the sample-lysis mixture in a waste chamber. The wash station is configured to introduce the wash solution following the sample-lysis mixture, pass the wash solution across the solid-state membrane to purify nucleic acids captured therein, and receive the wash solution from the solid-state membrane in the waste chamber. The elution station is configured to pass the eluent across the solid-state membrane, elute captured nucleic acids from the solid-state membrane, and pass the captured nucleic acids into one or more reaction chambers for amplifying and detecting the captured nucleic acids.
