Described herein is an analyte detection device and method related to a portable instrument suitable for point-of-care analyses. In some embodiments, a portable instrument may include a disposable cartridge, an optical detector, a sample collection device and/or sample reservoir, reagent delivery systems, fluid delivery systems, one or more channels, and/or waste reservoirs. Use of a portable instrument may reduce the hazard to an operator by reducing an operator's contact with a sample for analysis. The device is capable of obtaining diagnostic information using cellular- and/or particle-based analyses and may be used in conjunction with membrane- and/or particle-based analysis cartridges. Analytes, including proteins and cells and/or microbes may be detected using the membrane and/or particle based analysis system.

What is claimed is: 1. A method of detecting at least one analyte in a fluid comprising: forming a mixture of one or more first particles with the fluid, wherein each particle comprises a receptor configured to interact with at least a first analyte, and wherein particles that interact with at least a first analyte undergo a detectable spectroscopic change; passing the mixture of first particles and fluid across a porous membrane and a particle-based sensor array disposed in an analyte detection device, wherein the analyte detection device is configured to capture the first particles on the porous membrane allowing at least a second analyte to flow through the membrane and contact a second particle, wherein the analyte detection device comprises: a first sensor comprising the porous membrane configured to capture the first particles, a top member positioned at a spaced distance above the porous membrane such that a first cavity is formed between the top member and the porous membrane, wherein the top member covers at least a portion of the porous membrane, and wherein the top member is substantially transparent to light, and a bottom member positioned below the porous membrane, wherein the bottom member is configured to receive fluid flowing through the porous membrane, and a second sensor in series comprising the particle-based sensor array, wherein the particle-based sensor array is integral with the porous membrane and comprises a plurality of wells fabricated in an ordered array, wherein at least the second particle is positioned within a well and is configured to interact with the second analyte during use to produce a spectroscopic signal; detecting spectroscopic signals produced by the first particles captured on the porous membrane and the second particles in the particle-based sensor array; and determining if one or more analyte is present based on the detected spectroscopic signals. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein each of the particles comprises an identification molecule, wherein the identification molecule coupled to each particle is specific for the analyte that interacts with the particle, the method further comprising determining if the analyte is present by determining the identity of the identification molecule on particles in which a spectroscopic signal has been detected. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein each of the particles comprises a predetermined size, wherein the size of each particle is specific for the analyte that interacts with the particle, the method further comprising determining if the analyte is present by determining the size of the particles in which a spectroscopic signal has been detected. 4. The method of claim 1, further comprising detecting additional analytes, wherein each analyte is detected by one or more particles that are configured to produce a spectroscopic signal when one or more particles interact with the additional analytes. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein forming a mixture of one or more particles with the fluid further comprises adding a detecting receptor to the fluid, wherein the particles are configured to produce a first signal, and wherein the detecting receptor is configured to produce a second signal, and wherein determining if the analyte is present comprises detecting the first and second signals. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the analyte detection device further comprises a membrane support in contact with the porous membrane, and wherein the membrane support comprises pores that allow fluid to flow through the membrane support at a speed that is equal to or greater than the speed that fluid passes through the porous membrane. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the analyte detection device further comprises a membrane support in contact with the porous membrane, and wherein the membrane support provides sufficient support of the porous membrane to inhibit sagging of the porous membrane. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the top member comprises a fluid inlet configured to allow fluid to be introduced to the porous membrane through the top member. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein the bottom member comprises a fluid outlet configured to allow fluid to pass from the porous membrane out of the analyte detection device. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein the receptor comprises an antibody that binds to at least a portion of a virus. 11. The method of claim 1, wherein the receptor comprises an antibody that binds to at least a portion of the human immunodeficiency virus. 12. The method of claim 1, wherein the receptor comprises an antibody to the analyte. 13. The method of claim 1, further comprising adding a visualization agent to the particles. 14. The method of claim 1, further comprising passing a background fluid through the analyte detection device and detecting an image captured on the porous membrane prior to passing the fluid containing the analyte across the porous membrane. 15. The method of claim 1, further comprising washing the surface of the porous membrane.
