A method for analysing a biological sample by means of an analysis instrument, the sample including biological agents and being arranged in an analysis receptacle in view of a holographic imaging system, the method including: acquiring a holographic image of the sample, the holographic image associating an intensity value with each pixel, determining, from the image acquired, an image mask which associates an active or inactive state with each pixel in accordance with the intensity values so that an inactive state is associated with pixels which correspond to artefacts caused by elements present in the field of view other than biological agents, determining a value of at least one biomass parameter which represents the quantitative spatial distribution of biological agents in the field of view, using only the pixels of the holographic image having an active state, and supplying the value of the biomass parameter from the analysis results.

Method for analysing a biological sample with artefact masking

A method of treating a biological sample, preferably a sample of blood or bodily fluids likely to contain one or more species of interest, and including a step of decomplexification by acoustophoresis (as well as associated systems, devices, substrates and connection devices).
