Abstract:
Methods for determining a sample concentration of target entities in a sample, for example, determining a concentration of target antigens or antibodies in a blood sample or other biological sample.

Claim (Index 25):
A method for determining a sample concentration of target entities in a sample, the method comprising:\n obtaining assay data comprising a local measurement indicative of a local concentration of the target entity at an assay area of an assay assembly, wherein the assay area comprises a plurality of probe entities immobilized at a surface of the assay area, the probe entities being arranged to bind to target entities, wherein the local measurement is based on signals indicative of a variation in a refractive index at the surface of the assay area, such variation being amplified following interaction of an amplifier solution with target entities bound to the surface of the assay area, and wherein the local measurement comprises a difference between a pre-amplification signal and post-amplification signal, wherein the pre-amplification signal is detected after interaction of the sample with the assay area and before interaction of the amplifier solution with target entities bound to the assay area, and the post-amplification signal is detected after interaction of the amplifier solution with target entities bound to the assay area; adjusting the local measurement using an adjustment term such that a bulk refractive index of the sample is taken into account; using the adjusted local measurement to determine a value indicative of the sample concentration.
