Le biocapteur optique comprend une cartouche pour supporter une substance de marquage, une diode électroluminescente (DEL) pour émettre un signal optique vers la substance de marquage, une photodiode (PD) servant à mesurer un signal réfléchi à partir de la substance de marquage après que le signal optique émis par la DEL ait été absorbé par la substance de marquage; une unité de commande de DEL servant à convertir le type du signal optique irradié vers la substance de marquage de telle sorte que le signal optique émis se distingue d'une composante de bruit et un micom servant à mesurer la concentration de la substance de marquage sur la base du signal mesuré par le PD. Le procédé de l'invention élimine une composante de bruit externe, ce qui permet d'obtenir un diagnostic plus précis.
