An automated method of assaying a viral and antibody analyte in a sample in a portable, handheld microfluidic reader having a SAW detector with a minimal mass sensitivity limitation includes the steps of automatically performing the assay with the SAW detector with enhanced sensitivity, but also includes the steps of automatically disposing a second portion of the sample on a microarray, selectively automatically probing the second portion of the sample for antibodies corresponding to the at least one selected virus using the microarray, and automatically reading the microarray using a fluorescent camera to identify antibodies in the second portion of the sample. |
