A portable diagnostic device has a lysate stage (167) with a port for receiving a sample and containing magnetic beads with a probe, and an outlet port. A series of assay stages (161-164) are linked with the lysate vessel, each with a reservoir linked by channels. The final stage (164) has a sensor (169) for detecting beads attached to analyte molecules which have been conveyed according to attachment to probes on beads. Larger transport beads cause reporter beads which are tethered by target NA and probes to be transported to the final sensor stage, where they are released and detected when the transport beads have been removed.
An analyte in a liquid sample is detected using a capacitive sensor having electrodes and a sensor surface, and a signal processor. The sample is dried to reduce its liquid content, and capacitive measurements are made after the drying and preferably also before the drying. The sample may include particles, and the analyte is part of or attached to the particles, and the particles provide a major part of the capacitance change compared to absence of particles. In another example the particles are degenerative and form an integral mass upon application of heat, enhancing the extent of capacitance change.

RNA TARGET ENRICHMENT OR DEPLETION OF BIOLOGICAL SAMPLES
A method of target enrichment or depletion from a sample with an analyte is described. A probe has one of a left-handed PNA pair and a targeting moiety, in which the left-handed PNA pair are a complementary pair of PNAs that are chiral and have a cyclic backbone modification that induces a left-handed helical structure. A capture surface has the other of the left-handed PNA pair; and the left-handed PNA pair bind to hybridize the probe to the capture surface, which may be a magnetic bead.

SINGLE-BEAD CAPACITIVE DETECTOR FOR MICROBIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS
The present invention provides an improved capacitive bead sensor for detection and/or quantification of target analytes in a sample, with a detection limit down to single-beads, which is re-usable for multiple bead tests, or for a continuous flow of beads, and which is easily manufacturable and automatable. It enables sensitivity down to single molecule detection without the need for enzymatic amplification such as PCR, by use of various structural advantages and electronic signal amplification techniques that further allow for multiplex target detection not only across various nucleic acid targets but across entire target classes allowing for simultaneous detection of viral nucleic acids and host antibodies to that virus for example.

Methods of detecting target nucleic acid is a sample are described. A first probe is attached to first beads, and the first beads are placed in the sample so that any target nucleic acid attaches to the first probe. A second probe also attaches to the target nucleic acid so that any of the target nucleic acid links or “tethers” the first and second probes. A capacitive sensor detects capacitance of the beads and processes capacitance data to quantify target nucleic acid presence in the sample. The second probe may be immobilised on the sensor surface. Alternatively the second beads are introduced into the sample with the second probe attached, and the extent of tethering of the first beads to the second beads is indicative of the extent of target NA present.

A method of preparing a nucleic acid sample with target enrichment uses a reaction vessel, within which is added a chelating agent to a sample with heating to about 99° C. to provide a crude lysate. A PNA probe is provided at a concentration sufficient for binding and capture of discernible levels of target nucleic acid. The PNA probe may be attached to beads which are initially embedded in a wax body and are released during the heating so that the y are free to move and come into contact with the PNA probe and target DNA. After binding has occurred, the beads are magnetically attracted back into a pocket along with the wax, which is allowed to solidify before they are removed from the reaction vessel.

A PNA probe is provided at a concentration sufficient for binding and capture of discernible levels of target nucleic acid. The PNA probe may be attached to beads (26) which are initially embedded in a wax body (17) and are released during the heating so that they are free to move and come into contact with the PNA probe and target DNA.

A sampling apparatus (1) has a tubular stem (2) at the distal end of which are four axially- extending teeth (5) forming a distal tip. There is a recess (10) within the tip, within which there is an axial spike (6). There are two rectangular openings (7) in the wall of the stem at the recess (10). The apparatus (1) is moved to approach a bulk material (M) until the distal tip, including the spike (6) penetrates the material. The guide pushes some sample material across the recess towards the openings (7). There may be a rotating action to assist separation of a plug or sample from the bulk material. Upon withdrawal, the sample may then be inserted into a receptacle for analysis, preferably with being brought into contact with a lysis buffer or other liquid reagent.
