Abstract
A sensor control and data analysis system (100) for detecting and analyzing various (bio)chemical properties of a given sample substance (107) using an integrated SPR sensor (50) or other miniaturized sensor configuration. In one embodiment, raw sensor data from the sensing device (105) is transferred to a remote processing system (111), such as a desktop computer, having a display (125), keyboard or other user control and data entry device (123), internal storage area (127), internal microprocessor (117) and a communications means (129). The processing system (111) runs a software application program (115) that receives the raw sample data and perform qualitative and quantitative analysis to render meaningful information about the sample substance.
