Rapid and accurate detection of personal exposure to or contamination with OP pesticides is critical to both research and clinical care for victims. However, this detection remains highly variable across commercially available assays, e.g., the Ellman method, and such assays may also not adequately detect low but clinically relevant levels of exposure biomarkers. Moreover, these assays are generally performed in the centralized laboratories, and is slow and expensive. These deficits translate into missed opportunities for the timely initiation of the most appropriate treatment and interventions for acutely or chronically poisoned victims. A simple, rapid, non-or minimally invasive biomonitoring tool for onsite sensitive and accurate detection of personal exposure to or contamination with OP pesticides is provided.

Methods, kits, and systems for detecting cancer are disclosed. The methods involve isolating non-vesicular particles from a sample of a subject using a capture agent specific for a first biomarker associated with the particles. The isolated non-vesicular particles are then analyzed to detect the co-localization of a second biomarker and a third biomarker associated with the same individual particles. The biomarkers may include proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, or carbohydrates associated with the non-vesicular particles. Detection of particles displaying co-localization of the biomarkers may be correlated with the presence of cancer in the subject, providing a basis for cancer screening, diagnosis, or monitoring. Kits containing reagents and systems to perform these methods are also described.
