1. An integrated microcircuit assaying arrangement comprising:

  • a circuit-supporting substrate;

    a light detection circuit on the substrate and arranged to detect an optical characteristic of a biological sample and generate a signal as a function of the detected optical characteristic;

    a plurality of microwells in said substrate, said microwells configured to confine a biological sample; and

    a processing circuit communicatively coupled to the light detection circuit to receive the signal and including an instruction-responsive processor on the substrate and adapted to process the signal and to provide an assay output corresponding to the detected optical characteristics, and further including a data storage circuit on the substrate, coupled to the processor and configured to store data, the processor being configured to retrieve data from the data storage circuit for processing the signal and providing the output.
