Abstract
A method and device are described for analyzing a sample for the presence of an analyte wherein the analyte is contacted with a substrate to effect a measurable change selected from the group consisting of the quantity of the analyte, the quantity of the substrate, and the quantity of an optical or physical change to the substrate, wherein the analyte is contacted with the substrate for a predetermined time period, to generate a signal related to the measurable change. Scores are obtained from various tests performed on the signal data, and the scores are used to determine whether the substrate is present in the sample.
