The present invention provides a method for detecting an analyte in a sample and a device for carrying out the method. The method comprises the following steps. (i) Providing a mixture comprising a sample, a reporter reagent, and a pre-activator reagent to a device, the device comprising a substrate having an optical component and a binding component, where the optical component and the binding component are attached to a surface of the substrate, the reporter reagent being capable of generating reactive oxygen species from the pre-activator reagent upon absorption of electromagnetic radiation, and the optical component being capable of changing from a first optical state to a second optical state on reaction with the reactive oxygen species. (ii) Allowing a portion of the reporter reagent to bind to the surface of the substrate in proportion to the concentration of the analyte, by means of the binding component. (iii) Irradiating the device with electromagnetic radiation for absorption by the reporter reagent, thereby forming a set of local regions of the optical component having the second optical state on the substrate, wherein, prior to irradiating, the substrate is contacted with a deuterium-enriched fluid, and/or the substrate has a deuterium-enriched layer on the surface thereof. (iv) Detecting the set of local regions having the second optical state on the substrate.

A method and handheld computer-implemented system for diagnosing or predicting poly-cystic ovarian syndrome by measuring reproductive hormones or their metabolites in a biological sample of a subject is provided.

A test device for detection and visual identification of a specific analyte in a liquid sample such as a bodily fluid is disclosed. The device includes a collection container, a test strip affixed to an interior surface of the collection container, and a removable protective strip adhered over the test strip. The protective strip is configured to be removed from contact with the test strip after the liquid sample has been collected in order to prevent unnecessary exposure and/or contamination of the test strip. In certain embodiments, the protective strip may be removed from the contact with the test strip when the collection container is in a sealed configuration. In other embodiments, the protective strip may be dissolvable when placed in contact with the desired liquid sample. An assay specific to the anticipated analyte may be provided on the test strip.
