A system and method for detecting pathogenetic analytes including exciting a large target input area with radiation to produce scattered light to form an input beam, reformatting, with an optical slicer system, the input beam to produce an output beam, dispersing the output beam to produce an output area, capturing excitation data from the output area; and determining, with a processor, a presence of a particular analyte in the input area based on the excitation data. The input area can be greater than 100 micron squared and less than one million microns squared. The optical slicer system can be a high throughput virtual slit system. SERS analysis detects analytes of interest with both high resolution and sensitivity simultaneously, and is applicable for detection of the presence of viruses.

Methods for the determination of renal failure, especially chronic renal failure and acute kidney injury, by measurement of peptide or protein biomarkers are described. The methods are useful to determine stages of renal failure, especially the early stages such as stage 1, 2, and 3 of chronic renal failure and stages R and I of acute kidney injury. Furthermore there are described peptides and test kits used in the invention. The described methods are intended to replace or complement the measurement of creatinine and/or cystatin C and/or NGAL for diagnosis of renal failure.
