Abstract

The invention relates to a device and a method for taking up and handling a liquid sample and a substance. The device has a sample unit (1) and a substance container (2). The substance container (2) has a reservoir (3) which is designed to keep a substance in the reservoir (3). The reservoir (3) also has an opening (4) which is closed by a sealing film or sealing plate (5) so that substance kept in the reservoir (3) is sealed with respect to the surroundings. The sample unit (1) is equipped with a sample taker (6) which is designed to take up and hold a liquid sample. It also has an opener (7) which is designed to be at least partially inserted into the opening (4) of the reservoir (3) and to lift the sealing film or sealing plate (5) from the opening (4). In that context, a face (8) of the opener (7), which face is arranged in the direction of the sealing film or sealing plate (5) and is inserted into the opening (4) of the reservoir (3) and lifts the sealing film or sealing plate (5) from the opening (4), is designed in such a way that the face (8), upon contact with the sealing film or sealing plate (5), is oriented at an oblique angle to the surface of the sealing film or sealing plate (5) and, when inserted into the opening (4), successively lifts the sealing film or sealing plate (5) from the opening (4) so as to form in the sealing film or sealing plate (5) an outlet (9) through which the substance leaves the reservoir (3) and can be mixed with the sample of the sample taker (6).

Abstract

The invention relates to a spectrometer comprising a housing (11) equipped with a planar optical grating (2), which is arranged opposite an aperture (1) of the housing (11) and which is aligned at an angle of less than 45° to a normal of the aperture (1), a lens assembly (6), and a sensor element (7). The aperture (1) is dimensioned such that electromagnetic radiation incident parallel to the normal of the aperture (1) completely irradiates the surface of the optical grating (2). The lens assembly (6) is arranged between the optical grating (2) and the sensor element (7) in order to focus the electromagnetic radiation onto the sensor element (7) such that solely a first order of diffraction or higher orders of diffraction of the electromagnetic radiation diffracted by the optical grating (2) is directed towards the lens assembly (6) and the sensor element (7).

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method and to an analysis device for determining an analyte concentration in a fluid, in which the fluid containing the analyte and a turbidimetric or nephelometric assay of particles (6) is introduced into a measuring chamber (4), the measuring chamber (4) is illuminated from one side by means of an illumination device (1) and a two-dimensional image with an interference pattern caused by the particles (6) is detected in a spatially resolved manner by means of at least one sensor element (5) on a side of the measuring chamber (4) facing away from the illumination device (1). The detected image is forwarded to a computing unit (8) and subjected to electronic band pass filtration by the computing unit (8). Subsequently, by means of scanning the image and determining a standard deviation of each scan point, a two-dimensional image of the standard deviations is obtained, and a two-dimensional Fourier transformation is carried out on this image of the standard deviation and subsequently the obtained absolute values of the Fourier spectrum generated by the Fourier transformation are aggregated to form a total, and an analyte concentration is assigned to the obtained total of the absolute values by means of an empirically determined calibration curve.

The invention relates to a device and a method for detecting a specific analyte in a liquid sample. The device that can be used in the method contains at least one fluid line, at least one receiving region for receiving a liquid sample, at least one enzyme region containing at least one determined enzyme and/or at least one acidification region containing at least one acid. The device also contains at least one reaction region used to form gas bubbles. The at least one fluid line is designed to transport the liquid sample from the receiving region via the enzyme region and/or the acidification region to the reaction region by means of capillary forces and/or at least one micropump. The device allows fast, simple and cost-effective detection of a specific analyte in a liquid sample, the detection being carried out with a high level of sensitivity, specificity and precision.
