Abstract:
An apparatus for selected measurement of at least one of luminescent and fluorescent radiation from at least one sample well, the apparatus comprising: means defining an excitation light path for fluorescence measurements; at least one light source in the excitation path; means defining an emission light path; and at least one detector with a wavelength selector in the emission light path, wherein: the apparatus further comprises at least one first reflector element that encompasses a reflection chamber and projects at least a portion of the light emitted from the at least one sample well directionally onto the wavelength selector; the emission light path extends between the at least one sample well and the wavelength selector through the at least one first reflector element; and the excitation light path extends into the reflection chamber and extends to a point above the at least one sample well.
Abstract:
Described is a luminometer or fluorometer having an optical axis which extends essentially perpendicular to the measuring sample. The detector for the luminometer or the fluorometer is arranged either directly or via a deflection means in the optical axis. An injection device (20) with an injection channel is provided for feeding in the reagents, wherein the injection channel consists of a first section and a second section, arranged at an angle relative to the first section, and is provided with a discharge opening (24c) that points in the direction of the measuring sample. To achieve a high sensitivity and a broad application range, the first section of the injection channel extends essentially perpendicular to the optical axis and at least one second injection device is provided which also comprises an injection channel with two sections, wherein the first section extends essentially perpendicular to the optical axis and the second section is angled relative to the first section and which ends in a discharge opening (24c′, 24c″).
