Calibratable sensor unit for reaction vessels
First Claim
1. A reaction vessel comprising a reaction space, wherein the reaction vessel is configured to be connected with a sensor unit,wherein the sensor unit comprises at least one sensor device configured to be calibrated, at least one compartment containing a calibrating agent, and a housing, wherein the at least one sensor device and the at least one compartment are accommodated movably relative to one another in the housing which is configured to be connected to the reaction vessel,wherein the sensor unit is arranged so as to calibrate the at least one sensor device by contact with the calibrating agent before chemical and/or physical parameters of a measurement substance are measured with the at least one sensor device, wherein the at least one sensor device is further configured such that the relative movement between the at least one sensor device and the at least one compartment is irreversible,wherein the at least one sensor device is movable relative to the at least one compartment from an initial position in which the at least one sensor device does not contact the measurement substance into a measurement readiness position different from the initial position, in which the at least one sensor device is at least partially contactable by the measurement substance, andwherein the reaction vessel and the sensor unit can be sterilised or are sterilised jointly.

Abstract
The invention relates to a reaction vessel with a sensor unit. The reaction vessel comprising a reaction space configured to be connected with the sensor unit that comprises at least one sensor device configured to be calibrated, at least one compartment containing a calibrating agent, and a housing. The sensor unit is arranged to calibrate the at least one sensor device by contact with the calibrating agent before chemical or physical parameters of a measurement substance are measured, wherein the at least one sensor device is further configured such that the relative movement between the at least one sensor device and the at least one compartment is irreversible. The at least one sensor device is movable relative to the at least one compartment from an initial position into a measurement readiness position. The reaction vessel and the sensor unit can be sterilized or are sterilized jointly.
