Claim 0:
1. A system including an instrument configured to interface with an assay chip, the system comprising:
a plurality of sample wells, each of at least a portion of the plurality of sample wells configured to receive a sample;
at least one pulsed excitation light source configured to excite the sample of the at least a portion of the plurality of sample wells;
at least one optical element configured to direct emission energy from each sample well of the at least a portion of the plurality of sample wells; and
a plurality of sensors, each of at least some of the plurality of sensors corresponding to a sample well of the plurality of sample wells, wherein each of at least some of the plurality of sensors is configured to detect emission energy from the sample in a respective sample well; and
wherein each of at least some sensors of the plurality of sensors is configured to aggregate, into at least two time bins, charge carriers produced in response to the emission energy.
