Abstract:
The invention generally relates to methods for determining a concentration of at least one target analyte in a heterogeneous sample and methods for detecting a condition. In certain aspects, the inventions provides methods that involve illuminating a heterogeneous sample, such as a biological sample, including at least one target analyte with polychromatic light, receiving luminous data of the heterogeneous sample and the at least one target analyte with a detector without splitting the polychromatic light into individual wavelengths and generating spectral data therefrom. The spectral data is then converted into a concentration of the at least one target analyte in the biological sample by comparing the spectral data to a database comprising known spectra already associated with concentration levels.
