Patent ID: 8735846

Claim:
A system for detecting one or more analytes in a sample using a biosensor, comprising: a biosensor disk, with an outer surface and a layer encoded with a data path capable of being read by an electromagnetic radiation incident upon said layer, said data path encoded with a baseline data that is static; a detector chamber disposed along said data path, said detector chamber having a surface for affixing detector ligands, said surface distinct from said layer encoded with said data path; a detector ligand for binding with an analyte, said detector ligand affixed to said surface for affixing detector ligands of said detector chamber; a detection enhancement means for binding to said analyte, wherein said detection enhancement means causes a detectable change to said electromagnetic radiation; and a disk system adapted to accept and rotate said biosensor disk, comprising a source of said electromagnetic radiation focused on said layer encoded with said data path of said biosensor disk, and a sensor adapted to detect said electromagnetic radiation returned from said layer encoded with said data path of said biosensor disk and convert said electromagnetic radiation into an electrical signal.
