Abstract

A preparation device for preparing a sample for measurement of a target biomolecule in a probe of a bodily fluid is disclosed that includes a substrate with a capillary network configured to transport the probe of the bodily fluid along the substrate. The substrate may be provided with a fluorescent, reflective or self-luminescent marker adapted to bind with the target biomolecule to emit a reaction radiation when excited by an excitation source. The fluorescent, reflective or self-luminescent marker is adapted, when bound to the target biomolecule and excited by the excitation source, together with the target biomolecule to emit the reaction radiation at an intensity proportional to a quantity of the target biomolecule in the probe of the bodily fluid.
