SAMPLE ANALYSIS METHODS

摘要

The invention generally relates to methods for determining a concentration of at least one target analyte in a heterogeneous sample and methods for detecting a condition. In certain aspects, the inventions provides methods that involve illuminating a heterogeneous sample, such as a biological sample, including at least one target analyte with polychromatic light, receiving luminous data of the heterogeneous sample and the at least one target analyte with a detector without splitting the polychromatic light into individual wavelengths and generating spectral data therefrom. The spectral data is then converted into a concentration of the at least one target analyte in the biological sample by comparing the spectral data to a database comprising known spectra already associated with concentration levels.

1. A method for determining a concentration of at least one target analyte in a heterogeneous sample, the method comprising:
illuminating a heterogeneous sample comprising at least one target analyte with polychromatic light; receiving a luminous signal of the heterogeneous sample and the at least one target analyte with a detector without splitting the polychromatic light into individual wavelengths; generating spectral data from the received luminous signal; and converting the spectral data into a concentration of the at least one target analyte in the heterogeneous sample by comparing the spectral data to a database comprising known spectra already associated with concentration levels of the target analyte.
