ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and method for detecting an analyte in a sample based on optical interference. The apparatus includes a light source, detector unit and one or more disposable detector tips. The apparatus also includes an optical coupling assembly that couples light from the source to the detector tips, and from the detector tips to the detector unit.
