    Abstract: Exosomes are a small type of extracellular vesicles containing nucleic acids, lipids, and proteins that are implicated in tumorigenesis, metastasis, and cardiac regeneration, and therefore serve as potentially useful biomarkers from fluids or as vehicles for drug delivery. Global bottom-up mass spectrometry-based proteomics has been previously used to profile exosome cargo for diagnostic purposes. However, the current protocols for MS analysis of extracellular vesicles and exosome proteomics are challenging due to labor-intensive sample preparation, including lengthy digestion times and removal of MS incompatible reagents, and the need for high sensitivity. To address these challenges, the present invention provides a novel, high-throughput strategy for extracellular vesicle analysis and exosome proteomics using a photo-cleavable, anionic surfactant, preferably 4-hexylphenylazosulfonate (Azo). These photo-cleavable, anionic surfactants are able to facilitate high-throughput digestion with minimal sample cleanup for quantitative and highly reproducible analysis.

    Abstract: Detection kits for identifying the presence of a drug are provided. In one exemplary implementation, the kit includes a dry colorimetric reagent and a delivery device containing a solvent or solvent mixture including the solvent. The delivery device is configured to deliver a portion of the solvent or solvent mixture to a target residue to form a sample residue. When at least a portion of the sample residue is brought into contact with the mixture, the mixture undergoes a chemical reaction when the sample residue contains a drug, in which the chemical reaction produces a visible color change that is indicative of the presence of the drug within the sample residue. Methods of manufacturing a detection kit are also provided.

    Abstract: A method for determining analyte concentration in a body fluid using a mobile device having a camera and a lidar sensor that have an overlapping field of view. In the method, an object is selected and the user is prompted to apply a body fluid sample to a reagent test region. The user is prompted to provide the object within the overlapping field of view of the camera and the lidar sensor. The processor of the mobile device generates a lidar measurement data set representing the object, which is compared to a pre-generated data set. When there is a degree of congruence from the comparison that is above a pre-determined minimum, the camera captures an image of the reagent test region having the body fluid sample applied thereto and concentration of analyte in the sample is determined. When the congruence is below a pre-determined minimum, image capturing is not allowed.
