Microsystems that integrate three-dimensional microarray and multi-layer microfluidics for combinatorial detection of bioagent at single molecule level
First Claim
1. A stand-alone microsystem adapted for performing combinatorial detection of bioagents at a single molecule level wherein the microsystem comprises a three-dimensional microarray component and a multi-layer microfluidics component to thereby provide high throughput screening and high content screening sufficient to allow for substantially real-time performance of the microsystem.

Abstract
Stand-alone microsystems adapted for performing combinatorial detection of bioagents at single molecule level wherein the microsystems are featured with three-dimensional microarray and multi-layer microfluidics to thereby provide high throughput screening and high content screening sufficient to allow for substantially real-time performance of the microsystem. Methods for detection of bioagents at a single molecule level or single organism level include providing a reconfigurable microsystem adapted for performing combinatorial detection of bioagents at a single molecule level and reconfiguring the reconfigurable microsystem for various environments.
