    Abstract: Described is an electrochemiluminescence method of detecting an analyte in a liquid sample using a measuring cell having a working electrode for detecting the analyte using an electrochemiluminescence measurement cycle, involving a. carrying out the measurement cycle in a calibration process using a liquid sample without analyte and performing a first electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, EIS, at a given point of the measurement cycle, the first EIS being performed using the working electrode, b. carrying out the measurement cycle in an analysis process using the liquid sample containing the analyte and performing a second EIS at the given point of the measurement cycle, the second EIS being performed using the working electrode, c. comparing the result of the first EIS and the second EIS, providing an indication indicating if the comparison results show a deviation between the first EIS and the second EIS exceed a predefined threshold.

    Abstract: An automatic analyzer cartridge, spinnable around a rotational axis, has a support structure with a front face perpendicular to the rotational axis, a fluidic structure for processing a biological sample into the processed biological sample, a measurement structure with at least one detection zone on the front face, and a rotatable lid covering the front face. The rotatable lid is rotatable about the rotational axis relative to the support structure from a first position relative to the support structure to a second position relative to the support structure. The rotatable lid has a sample inlet opening and a detection zone opening. In the first position, a sample inlet is aligned with the sample inlet opening and the measurement structure is covered by the rotatable lid. In the second position, the sample inlet is covered by the rotatable lid and the measurement structure is aligned with the detection zone opening.

    Abstract: An optical device for determining the presence and/or concentration of analytes in a sample is presented. The optical device comprises a detector and a detection unit comprising optical path components. The detection unit has wavelength-dependent responsivity. The optical device further comprises a light source for emitting light of different respective usable wavelength ranges. The light is guidable through the optical path to the detector to generate baseline signals and response signals relative to the baseline signal indicative of the presence and/or concentration of analytes in the optical path. The intensity of the light reaching the detector is adjusted inverse to the wavelength-dependent responsivity with respect to at least two respective usable wavelength ranges so that a reduction of the ratio between the maximum baseline signal at one of the selected usable wavelength ranges and the minimum baseline signal at another of the selected usable wavelength ranges is obtained.
