Claim Text:
1. An apparatus for optical analysis of a predefined analyte eluted from a sample substrate to incubation buffer contained in a sample well of a sample holder loaded into the apparatus, comprising a light source arranged to direct light through the sample well containing the sample substrate and the incubation buffer, wherein the light source emits light at a predefined wavelength or wavelength range absorbed by at least one elutable component of the sample but transmitted by the sample substrate, a detector arranged in relation to the light source and sample well in such a manner to detect light transmitted from the sample well, and a computing unit calibrated to determine a degree of evolution of the predefined analyte in the sample well based on a detected light from the detector an optical measurement unit programmed to measure the amount of predefined analyte.
