Abstract

The present invention relates to a method of assessing at least one quality parameter and/or at least one quantity parameter of at lest one analyte wherein said at least one analyte is connected to a catalyst capable of catalysing a substrate into a product, whereby the analyte is assessed through detection of product produced around the analyte. More particularly the present invention relates to a method of assessing at least one quality parameter or at least one quantity parameter of at least one species of analytes in a sample comprising the steps of establishing a sample domain having at least one wall, arranging in the sample domain catalyst-analyte complexes between the at lest one species of analytes and at least one catalyst in a manner allowing the analytes to move relative to the wall(s) of the sample domain, arranging a substrate in the sample domain, said substrate being capable of being converted into a product through catalysation by said catalyst, contacting the substrate with the catalyst-analyte complexes of individual analytes allowing a detectable amount of product to be produced, recording an image of the product related to individual analytes in the sample domain, correlating the image to the at least one quality parameter or the at least one quantity parameter of the at least one species of analytes.
