The present invention concerns a portable, reliable and sensitive biosensor apparatus. In certain embodiments, the apparatus incorporates a fluidic cube, comprising a vent cap, vent cap isolator, cube body, waveguide and stage. In preferred embodiments, the fluidic cube further comprises a fluid manifold. In more preferred embodiments, the fluidic cube comprises one or more sample channels that are designed to increase fluid mixing through the use of baffles. The biosensor is designed to simultaneously process multiple samples for a variety of analytes. In certain embodiments, the biosensor is designed to operate as a compact, stand-alone automated unit that can reliably analyze environmental, clinical, veterinary, pathologic or medical samples under adverse field conditions.

1. A biosensor apparatus comprising:a) cube body having a top surface and a bottom surface, said bottom surface having one or more sample channels in fluid communication with one or more openings in the top surface, said top surface having one or more fluid reservoirs;b) a vent cap having at least two openings;c) a vent cap isolator having a top surface, a bottom surface, at least two holes extending between said top and bottom surface, one or more fluid intake tubes extending from the bottom surface and in fluid communication with one or more openings in the bottom surface of the vent cap isolator, said vent cap isolator coupled between the top surface of the cube body and the vent cap such that said at least two holes are in fluid communication with the at least two openings of the vent cap, the one or more fluid intake tubes are in fluid communication with the one or more fluid reservoirs of the cube body and the one or more openings in the bottom surface of the vent cap isolator are in fluid communication with the one or more openings in the top surface of the cube body;d) a waveguide coupled to the bottom surface of the cube body; ande) a stage attached to the vent cap such that the vent cap isolator, cube body and waveguide are positioned between the stage and vent cap. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the vent cap isolator provides an air and liquid tight seal for fluid reservoirs in the cube body. 3. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising one or more valves, wherein said valves are attached to at least one of the openings on the vent cap. 4. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the vent cap comprises two or more legs designed to operably connect with said stage. 5. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein a seal is formed between said cube body and said waveguide by a double lip on the bottom surface of said cube body. 6. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein said sample channels comprise baffles. 7. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a detector to detect emitted light from the waveguide. 8. The apparatus of claim 7, further comprising an excitatory light source to provide excitatory light to the waveguide. 9. The apparatus of claim 8, further comprising one or more optical filters to filter emitted or excitatory light. 10. The apparatus of claim 8, further comprising a power supply and a system controller operably coupled to the detector and excitatory light source. 11. The apparatus of claim 10, further comprising a data analysis and storage unit operably coupled to the detector. 12. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a positive pressure source coupled to the vent cap. 13. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a negative pressure source coupled to the vent cap. 14. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising one or more binding moiety spots and one or more calibration spots on the surface of said waveguide. 15. The apparatus of claim 14, wherein said calibration spots comprise fluorescent beads. 16. The apparatus of claim 14, wherein said waveguide is labeled with a bar code. 17. A method of detecting an analyte in a sample comprising:a) providing an apparatus according to claim 1;b) contacting one or more samples with the one or more sample channels of the apparatus;c) analyzing said one or more samples using said apparatus. 18. The method of claim 17, wherein said analyte is selected from the group consisting of a protein, peptide, carbohydrate, polysaccharide, glycoprotein, lipid, hormone, growth factor, cytokine, receptor, antigen, allergen, antibody, substrate, metabolite, cofactor, inhibitor, drug, pharmaceutical, nutrient, toxin, poison, explosive, pesticide, chemical warfare agent, biowarfare agent, biohazardous agent, infectious agent, prion, radioisotope, vitamin, heterocyclic aromatic compound, carcinogen, mutagen, narcotic, amphetamine, barbiturate, hallucinogen, waste product, contaminant, heavy metal, virus, bacterium, Salmonella, Streptococcus, Legionella, E. coli , Giardia, C ryptosporidium, Rickettsia, spore, mold, yeast, algae, amoebae, dinoflagellate, unicellular organism, pathogen and cell. 19. The method of claim 17, wherein said sample is an environmental, clinical, veterinary, pathologic or medical sample.
