1. A method of testing for the presence of a species within a sample comprising the steps of:
- applying a resonance inducing excitation to the sample;
detecting a resonance response signal from the sample comprising a signal-of-interest characteristic of the species and at least one corrupting signal;
processing a first part and a second part of the response signal; and
determining from the second part of the response signal information regarding the at least one corrupting signal with which to determine from the first part of the response signal the signal-of-interest.

Abstract
A method of testing a sample comprising the steps of: applying an excitation to the sample; detecting a response signal from the sample; processing a first part and a second part of the response signal; and determining from the second part of the response signal information with which to enhance the first part of the response signal.

27. An apparatus for testing for the presence of a species within a sample comprising:
-
a transmitter, adapted to apply a resonance inducing excitation to the sample; a receiver, adapted to detect a resonance response signal from the sample comprising a signal-of-interest characteristic of the species and at least one corrupting signal; a processor, adapted to; process a first part and a second part of the response signal; and determine from the second part of the response signal information regarding the at least one corrupting signal with which to determine from the first part of the response signal the signal-of-interest. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52)
