Abstract
The invention relates to a substance determining apparatus and method for determining a substance within a fluid. Particles attach to the substance and bind to a binding surface (), wherein a particle release curve being indicative of a release of bound particles from the binding surface () is determined, and a part of the particle release curve caused by particles bound to the binding surface via a predefined kind of binding is determined based on the temporal behaviour of the particle release curve. The substance within the fluid is determined based on the part of the particle release curve. The substance can therefore be determined based on particles which are bound to the binding surface via a certain kind of binding, i.e. other kinds of binding substantially do not affect the determination of the substance, thereby improving the accuracy of determining the substance.
