Abstract
The invention relates to a system () for optically detecting at least one substance in a fluid (). The system () comprises particles () arranged to be dispersed in the fluid (), each one comprising a magnetic bead () and an agent (). The agent () is reactive with said substance such that it gives a specific optical response upon a determined optical excitation or a chemical reaction. The system () further comprises a chamber () to contain said fluid () and particles (). The chamber () is closed at one side by a window () optically transparent to the wavelengths of said optical response and said optical excitation. The system () further comprises an optical reading system () adapted to detect at least a portion of said optical response. The system () further comprises magnetic sources () arranged to magnetically move the particles () onto or close to the window (). The optical reading system () is positioned to receive at least a portion of the optical response from the at least one agent () located onto or close to the window (). The invention relates further to a disposable and a method.
