Measuring assembly for luminescence analysis
First Claim
1. A measuring assembly comprising at least one radiation source, at least one detector and a supporting element being transparent to excitation and measurement radiation and having first, second and third boundary faces, said supporting element being provided with several luminescence-optical sensor elements on said first boundary face, and picks up excitation radiation from said radiation source via said second boundary face, and supplies measurement radiation of said sensor elements to said detector of an evaluation unit via said third boundary face, the direction of said excitation radiation being essentially normal to the direction of detection, and the refractive index n1 of said supporting element being greater than the refractive index of the environment, wherein said several sensor elements are connected by a common sample channel, and wherein means are provided for optical or temporal separation of light paths of said measurement radiation emitted by said individual sensor elements.

Abstract
A measuring assembly comprises a supporting element transparent to excitation and measurement radiation, which is provided with a number of preferably different luminescence-optical sensor elements on a first boundary face. Via a second boundary face excitation radiation can be picked up, and a third boundary face is used to supply measurement radiation of the sensor elements to a detector of an evaluation unit. The direction of the excitation radiation is essentially normal to that of detection. The preferably different sensor elements are connected by a common sample channel, and optical and/or temporal separation of the measurement radiation of the individual sensor elements is provided.
