Abstract
An assay system includes an excitation light source to output excitation light having a first wavelength; an optical reference positioned to absorb the excitation light from the excitation light source and to output an optical signal based on the excitation light, where the optical signal has a second wavelength that is different from the first wavelength; a reaction chamber containing a reactant and an inlet to receive a test sample to produce a fluid that is based on the test sample and the reactant, where the reaction chamber is positioned to receive the optical signal from the optical reference; and an optical receiver positioned to detect an amount of the optical signal that passed through the reaction chamber containing the fluid.
