Abstract
In an opto-electronic device utilizing a band of light for quantitative analysis of a specimen containing a target molecule, the opto-electronic device comprising a specimen cell adapted for receiving the specimen and for transporting the band of light, a device for comparing the band of light before entering the specimen with the band of light after exiting the specimen, wherein the target molecule. The device for comparing comprises: an optical sensor; and, a signal processor for determining a quantitative level of the target molecule within the specimen. The signal processor utilizes Bayes' Theorem for determining the quantitative level of the target molecule within the specimen.
