    摘要: A system (1) for detecting an analyte of interest in a sample is disclosed that comprises a measurement chamber (21) for metering the sample and including a defined concentration of an activator (27) causing the generation of a product when interacting with the analyte of interest, a heating element (31) thermally coupled to the measurement chamber, a controller (33) adapted to control the heating element such that the measurement chamber is maintained at a defined temperature (Td), a sensor (35) adapted to detect said product, a timer (37) adapted to time an interaction time between the sample and the activator; and a processor (39) responsive to the sensor and the timer. The processor is adapted to, upon addition of the sample to the measurement chamber, determine an amount of the analyte of interest in the sample from a sensor signal indicative of an amount of said product in the measurement chamber provided by the sensor prior to termination of said interaction; known interaction kinetics between the analyte of interest and the activator at the defined temperature and the defined concentration; and the interaction time at time of generation of the sensor signal. A method of detecting an analyte of interest in a sample using such a system is also disclosed.

    摘要: Methods and systems are provided for compensating for gravitational and fluid composition effects on a magnetic biosensor system. In one example, a sensor system includes a sample container configured to receive a sample containing an analyte to be tested, the sample container comprising a detection surface and a plurality of signal generating elements in the sample container, wherein the detection surface comprises a binding surface, which has been partially functionalized with capture elements that can bind, directly and/or indirectly, the analyte and/or the plurality of signal generating elements. The sensor system further includes a memory storing instructions executable by a processor to obtain background data comprising sensor signals from one or more background regions of the detection surface, obtain sample data comprising sensor signals from the binding surface, and perform a correction of the sample data based on the background data.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a device (10) for use in fluid sample analysis. It is described to position (310) a top part (20) of the device (10) adjacent to a base part (30) of the device so as to define a fluidic receiving region in between, the top part being provided with a through opening fluidly connected to the fluidic receiving region, and the bottom part being provided with a radiation window adjacent to the fluidic receiving region. A fluidic sample is supplied (320) through the opening (24). The fluidic sample is moved laterally (330) in the fluid receiving region without the use of an intermediary membrane between the top part and the base part. A radiation is emitted (340) to the fluid receiving region. A radiation is detected (350) that is reflected by the device. A presence of the fluidic sample is determined (360) on the basis of a measured reflectance value based on the detected radiation.
