Claim 0:
1. A device for analyzing a fluid sample, the device comprising:
a thin-film element comprising:
a first layer for processing the fluid sample to generate a first component and a second component,
a second layer configured to be impermeable to the first component to allow the first component to be retained by the first layer and permeable to the second component to allow the second component to pass through the second layer, wherein the second layer includes a first reflective surface and a second reflective surface, and
a third layer configured to retain the second component;

a first sensor positioned towards the first layer, wherein the first reflective surface of the second layer is configured to provide a first optical signal by reflecting a first light modulated by the first component, wherein the first sensor is configured to receive the first optical signal; and
a second sensor positioned towards the third layer, wherein the second reflective surface of the second layer is configured to provide a second optical signal by reflecting a second light modulated by the second component, wherein the second sensor is configured to receive the second optical signal.
