Abstract: The present invention relates generally to the field of biochemical laboratory. More particularly the invention relates to the improved and more efficient instrumental features of equipment used as e.g. fluorometers, photometers and luminometers. The object of the invention is achieved by providing an optical measurement instrument where there is an interface (218, 223, 233a, 233b, 238) for a changeable optical module (240), the interface being adapted for at least one excitation beam and at least two emission beams. This allows performing various types of measurements by changing an optical module. The change of module and related parameters can be performed automatically controlled by software. It is also possible to easily upgrade the instrument for new types of measurements by just providing the instrument with a new optical module and the related software.

Abstract: A spectrometry instrument, e.g., for time-resolved spectroscopy, has quick-change exchangeable accessories (48, 50, 52) which are manually attached via rotation of a camming means to engage and lock a stud member. A circuit element in each accessory (48, 50, 52), such as a resistor or a configured pin connection, acts to generate a voltage in the instrument that uniquely identifies which accessory is attached. A method for measuring a phosphorescence decay characteristic includes applying an excitation pulse to a sample (34); obtaining emission intensity data for a sequence of time delays following the excitation pulse; repeating for at least one further excitation pulse using a different sequence of time delays; and interleaving the data from different excitation pulses to construct a decay characteristic.

Abstract: The method and apparatus of the present invention provides a system wherein light-emitting diodes (LEDs) (162) can be tuned within a given range by selecting their operating drive current in order to obtain a precise wavelength. The present invention further provides a manner in which to calibrate and utilize an LED probe (150), such that the shift in wavelength for a known change in drive current is a known quantity. In general, the principle of wavelength shift for current drive changes for LEDs is utilized in order to allow better calibration and added flexibility in the use of LED sensors, particularly in applications when the precise wavelength is needed in order to obtain accurate measurements. The present invention also provides a system in which it is not necessary to know precise wavelengths of LEDs where precise wavelengths were needed in the past. Finally, the present invention provides a method and apparatus for determining the operating wavelength of a light-emitting element such as a light-emitting diode.
