Abstract:
1. A fluid measuring system for measuring osmolarity of a sample fluid and concentration of a biomarker within the sample fluid, said system comprising: a. a sample chip configured to contain an aliquot volume of a sample fluid, and which processes (i) energy properties of the sample fluid to prepare an osmolarity output signal which corresponds to osmolarity of the sample fluid, and (ii) chemical properties of the sample fluid to prepare a biomarker output signal which corresponds to concentration of a biomarker within the sample fluid; and b. a processing device that: receives the osmolarity output signal from the sample region and processes the osmolarity output signal to produce an osmolarity value for the sample fluid; and receives the biomarker output signal from the sample region and processes the biomarker output signal to produce a biomarker concentration value for the sample fluid; wherein the biomarker is: IgE, IgA, IgG, IgM, glucose, insulin, lactoferrin, a cytokine, a hormone, a hormone metabolite, an infectious disease phenotype, a nucleic acid, a protein, or a lipid fraction.
