Devices, systems, and methods for detecting molecules of interest within a collected sample are described herein. In certain embodiments, self-contained sample analysis systems are disclosed, which include a reusable reader component, a disposable cartridge component, and a disposable sample collection component. In some embodiments, the reader component communicates with a remote computing device for the digital transmission of test protocols and test results. In various disclosed embodiments, the systems, components, and methods are configured to identify the presence, absence, and/or quantity of particular nucleic acids, proteins, or other analytes of interest, for example, in order to test for the presence of one or more pathogens or contaminants in a sample.

1. A sample analysis reader configured to be electrically coupled to a sample analysis cartridge, the sample analysis reader comprising: a processor; anda non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon, wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: detect a presence of the sample analysis cartridge electrically coupled to the sample analysis reader;detect identification information associated with the sample analysis cartridge;identify a proper test protocol for the sample analysis cartridge based at least in part on the identification information;detect a sample collection device inserted into the sample analysis cartridge; andinitiate a mixing protocol to mix a sample received from the sample collection device with reagents in fluid in a reservoir in the sample analysis cartridge. 2. The sample analysis reader of claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to initiate the mixing protocol by activating a piezoelectric transducer to mix the sample and the reagents in the fluid in the reservoir. 3. The sample analysis reader of claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to initiate the mixing protocol to facilitate formation of a plurality of sandwich complexes formed of a target analyte from the sample directly or indirectly bound to both a magnetic particle and a signaling agent. 4. The sample analysis reader of claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to initiate the mixing protocol to facilitate hybridization of at least some of the reagents with one or more target analytes from the sample. 5. The sample analysis reader of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to receive a signal from the sample analysis cartridge indicative of at least one of a presence, absence, or quantity of one or more target analytes from the sample. 6. The sample analysis reader of claim 5, wherein the processor is further configured to process the received signal and to generate a processed signal comprising information indicative of at least one of a presence, absence, or quantity of one or more target analytes from the sample, wherein the processor is further configured to cause the processed signal to be transmitted to a mobile device. 7. The sample analysis reader of claim 1, wherein the sample analysis reader is configured to be electrically coupled to a plurality of sample analysis cartridges that are each disposable. 8. The sample analysis reader of claim 1, further comprising a magnetic field generator configured to localize magnetic particles in the mix of the sample and the reagents and the fluid from the reservoir over a sensor at least partially disposed in an analysis channel to form a localized sample over the sensor when the sample analysis cartridge is coupled to the sample analysis reader. 9. The sample analysis reader of claim 8, wherein the processor is further configured to stimulate a first heater such that a first valve within the sample analysis cartridge melts and the mix of the sample and the reagents and the fluid flows out of the reservoir into the analysis channel of the sample analysis cartridge. 10. The sample analysis reader of claim 9, wherein the processor is further configured to stimulate a second heater such that a second valve within the sample analysis cartridge melts and a wash solution flows out of a second reservoir of the sample analysis cartridge into the analysis channel, wherein the wash solution removes, from the localized sample, the reagents that are not bound to magnetic particles. 11.
