Abstract
A method of conducting a biological assay, comprises obtaining data corelative to a temperature of a reagent, mixing the reagent with a sample to provide a mixture, receiving from the mixture a signal indicative of an amount of an analyte in the sample, and correcting the amount based on the obtained data and on a type of the reagent.
Claims5
A method of conducting a biological assay, comprising obtaining data corelative to a temperature of a reagent selected to emit an optical signal, mixing said reagent with a sample to provide a mixture, receiving from said mixture said signal, said signal being indicative of an amount of an analyte in said sample, and correcting said amount based on said obtained data and on a type of said reagent;
- wherein said reagent is contained in a cartridge loadable into a system;
- wherein said obtained data comprise a temperature change induced by said cartridge on said system;
- and
- wherein said obtaining of said data is prior to said mixing of said reagent with said sample.
