SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTION OF A TARGET SUBSTANCE

摘要

A carrier (140) includes a pyroelectric film (142) coated with reagent areas (132) in containers (110). The carrier (140) is inserted into a reader (162) in which each container is ruptured to expose the reagents (132) to a sample. The reaction between target analytes and the reagents (132) is measured by illuminating the reagent areas (132) and measuring the heat absorbed using the pyroelectric film (142).
