The invention relates to a method and apparatus for detecting substances or analytes form the analysis of one or several samples. The method comprises mixing the sample with a suitable liquid buffer, homogenizing said sample, adding reagents thereto, filtering it, injecting the sample into the incubation chamber, allowing the sample to react with a biosensor, washing the non-reacted sample excess and detecting the sample retained in the biosensor. The apparatus includes a sample homogenizer module with an ultrasonic piezoelectric device formed by a converter () and a horn (); a sample processing module including a homogenization container () and a moving frame (); a reagent and solution management module including a motorized syringe (), a reaction module consisting of a support () forming a reaction chamber () and a data reading module including a laser diode () and a CCD camera ().
