The invention relates to a measuring chamber, preferably a flow measuring chamber, comprising a base and cover part which is at least partially transparent to the excitation and measuring radiation and which form a measuring channel after assembly, with luminescence-optical sensor elements arranged in a sensor region.
Such measuring chambers serve for the simultaneous measurement of a plurality of parameters in liquid or gaseous samples, which are introduced into the measuring chamber or, in the case of flow measuring chambers, are transported by means of appropriate pumping or suction devices. For example, M.J.P. LEINER, Sensors and Actuators B29 (1995) 169-173, entitled "Optical sensors for in vitro blood gas analysis", a measuring chamber for the simultaneous measurement of pH, PCO2 and P02 in the blood, wherein the measuring chamber is designed as a flow cell. This consists essentially of two injection-molded parts made of a plastic material which is transparent to the excitation and measuring radiation of the luminescence-optical sensors used. At the front ends of the measuring cell connections for the Probenzu- or
Sample flow formed. The base part of the measuring chamber has three cylindrical depressions in one sensor area for receiving the sensor elements. In the cover part of the measuring chamber there is a groove-shaped depression, which together with the base part forms the measuring channel, which has approximately 40 # 1 sample volumes. The excitation of the luminescence indicator in the individual luminescence-optical sensor elements, as well as the detection of the luminescence radiation via two-armed optical fibers, which are directed to the base part of the measuring chamber.
The excitation light source used is a halogen light source, with the required excitation wavelengths being provided via corresponding filters. The luminescence radiation emitted by the individual sensor elements is supplied to detectors by separate light guides and edge filters, which are connected to the evaluation unit. The measuring chamber is designed as a disposable measuring cell (disposable) and is placed in the measurement in a thermostated measuring device and brought to a constant temperature of 37 C. The disk-shaped sensor elements are constructed in the form of layers, with an adhesive layer, a transparent carrier layer, a sensor layer and an optical cover layer being arranged in the direction of the measuring channel. The optical capping layer serves to prevent leakage from the sample or environment (e.g.
Intrinsic fluorescence or ambient light) from the indicator layer of the sensor and thereby optically decouple the sensor elements. After inserting the individual sensor elements into the cylindrical recesses of the base part, the two measuring chamber parts are glued together. Due to the different materials with which the sample comes into contact in the measuring channel, difficulties can arise when filling the measuring channel, since different materials, such as the measuring chamber wall and the optical cover layer are wetted to varying degrees by the sample and so for example air bubbles or inhomogeneous Flow conditions can be formed. This can lead to a lateral flow around the sensor element.
Furthermore, EP 0 354 895 B1 discloses a disposable measuring element for the simultaneous measurement of a plurality of different sample components, which consists of a sensor part and a sampling part connected thereto. The sensor part has a continuous sample channel in which a plurality of sensor elements are arranged. The excitation of the sensor elements or the detection of the measuring radiation via optical fibers, which are guided from the outside to the transparent sensor part.
The object of the present invention is to propose, based on the aforementioned prior art, a measuring chamber which is simple and inexpensive to produce, wherein homogeneous flow conditions are to prevail in the measuring channel and a substantially larger number of individual parameters can be measured at essentially the same sample volume.
This object is achieved in accordance with the invention in that a longitudinal groove is provided both in the base part and in the cover part, which together form the measuring channel, and in that sensor elements are arranged in the longitudinal groove of the base part and the cover part, each with a covering the entire sensor area, optical cover layer are provided. With the measures according to the invention, a doubling of the number of luminescence-optical sensor elements is achieved with essentially the same sample volume, since these are arranged both in the base part and in the cover part. Since the longitudinal groove in both the base and in the cover part with a continuous, covering the entire sensor area, optical cover layer verse-
hen, the two cover layers form a flat sample channel or
Capillary gap, in which the sample can be passed through the measuring channel without the formation of air bubbles and without the formation of unfavorable flow profiles.
It is particularly advantageous if the optical cover layer in the base and in the cover part is pulled up in each case to the two groove edges of the longitudinal groove and thus forms a homogeneous lining of the measuring channel.
It is also possible that several sensor elements are combined to form a group. These may also be groups of similar sensor elements, if, for example, one wants to form an average from a plurality of individual measurements.
The individual sensor elements can be arranged, for example, in recesses at the base of the longitudinal groove and covered by a continuous optical cover layer.
In a further embodiment, it is also possible for the optical cover layer to protrude into the regions between adjacent sensor elements and for an optical layer to be formed in these regions
Decoupling adjacent sensor elements causes.
In a particularly advantageous variant it is provided that the base and the cover part of
Measuring chamber substantially symmetrically shaped Meßkammerteile are, and each having facing inner surfaces with the sensor elements receiving longitudinal groove, parallel to the inner surfaces of the outer surfaces and substantially normal standing on the outer surfaces side surfaces have. In contrast to the measuring chambers according to the prior art, there are great advantages in the production, if the base and the cover part of the measuring chamber are completely identical injection molded parts, which can be equipped with different sensor elements or groups of sensor elements.
Thus, it is possible, for example, to provide sensor elements for the measurement of pH, PCO2 and P02 in the base part and to combine this base part with a cover part, which sensor elements for the determination of different
Electrolytes, for example, sodium, potassium and calcium has. On the other hand, the base part, which measures the blood gas parameters pH, PO2 and PC02, can be combined with a cover part which carries biosensors which are used to determine, for. As lactate, glucose, urea, creatinine, etc. serve. The advantage is that individual measuring chamber parts can be provided with a group of sensor elements, and because of their symmetry, measuring chamber parts equipped in this way can be combined to form different measuring chambers, depending on the desired parameters.
According to the invention, it is possible with such symmetrical, essentially cuboid measuring chamber parts that the optical excitation of the individual sensor elements takes place via the side surfaces and the detection of the measuring radiation via the outer surfaces of the symmetrical measuring chamber parts. Thus, the optical separation of the excitation radiation from the measurement radiation already takes place in the respective measuring chamber part. The general principle of the optical separation of the excitation radiation from the measurement radiation in a transparent carrier element is described in AT 383 684 B. Here, a support element with plane-parallel boundary surfaces is proposed (comparable to the base or cover part of the invention), which has a sensor layer on one of these surfaces, wherein this sensor layer is acted upon by a radiation source with excitation radiation.
The light of the radiation source is incident on the sensor layer by a diaphragm device, the resulting measurement radiation being conducted away from the detector arranged essentially perpendicular to the direction of the excitation radiation to a detector arranged on a lateral boundary surface of the carrier element. The light conduction in the carrier element takes place essentially by total reflection of the measuring radiation at the boundary surfaces of the carrier element. This principle can also be reversed, ie the excitation can take place via the side surface and the detection via the surface parallel to the sensor surface.
It is particularly advantageous, for example, if the sensor elements of the base and the cover part are each arranged in pairs opposite one another. For example, a laterally arranged light source can then act on excitation radiation from two sensor elements whose measuring radiation is detected on the one hand via the outer surface of the base part and on the other hand via the outer surface of the cover part. An optical decoupling of the measuring radiation of both sensor elements takes place via the two optical cover layers lining the measuring channel.
In order to exclude a mutual optical influence of sensor elements, which
In the base or cover part are arranged side by side, they can each be contacted individually with optical fibers. However, it is also possible to make optical or electronic measures, which are known, for example, from EP 0 793 090 A1.
For better coupling of the excitation radiation into the base or cover part of the measuring chamber, it is advantageous if, for each sensor element, at least one side surface of a measuring chamber part is an optical element, preferably a converging lens, a Fresnel lens or a Fresnel lens
Grid structure is arranged or formed, which the excitation radiation in the direction of
Sensor elements coupled or focused.
The measuring chamber according to the invention can be thermostated in a very simple manner if a heatable film protruding into the measuring channel is arranged between the base part and the cover part. In contrast to the prior art must in the thermostatic the
Sample not only the heat-insulating effect of the measuring chamber wall to be overcome, since the
Thermostatisierung for all sensor elements in the same way directly inside the measuring channel, whereby the good heat conduction properties of the aqueous sample are used.
Advantageously, the heatable film may have an electrically conductive layer in the form of a meandering conductor track.
In one development of the invention, a separating film separating the measuring channel into two partial channels can also be arranged between the base part and the cover part. As a result of this measure, a calibration or quality control means can be measured in the measuring chamber in the measuring chamber, wherein at the same time the contents of a sample can be detected in the second partial channel. In this case, similar sensor elements are preferably arranged in pairs opposite one another and act upon excitation radiation with the same light source.
Furthermore, it is possible, the release film at the same time as a heating foil for thermostating the
To use measuring chamber.
The invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to drawings.

4 shows a section along the line IV-IV in FIG. 2, FIG. 5 shows a section along the line V-V in FIG. 2, FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 different variants of the measuring chamber in a sectional view according to FIG Fig. 4 or
5, Fig. 8 shows a variant in a sectional view according to Fig. 5, Fig. 9 and Fig. 10 further embodiments of the measuring chamber in a sectional view according to FIG. 1, Fig. 11, the measuring chamber of FIG. 10 in a longitudinal section 12 shows a detail from FIG. 11 and FIG. 13 shows a further embodiment of the measuring chamber in a longitudinal section.
The measuring chamber shown in FIG. 1 has a transparent base part 1 and a transparent cover part 2, which form a measuring channel 3 after assembly. The measuring chamber is shown in a sectional representation in FIG. 1, the sectional plane being guided through the luminescence-optical sensor elements 4 arranged in the measuring channel 3 and standing normally on the axis of the measuring channel 3. Excitation radiation 6 is applied to the sensor elements 4 by the light source 5, the measurement radiation 7 emitted as a function of the sample parameters being detected by suitable detectors 8. In the way of the excitation radiation 6, as well as the measuring radiation 7, excitation filter 9 or measuring filter 10 can be arranged.
Both in the base part 1 and in the cover part 2, a longitudinal groove 11 is provided, which form the measuring channel 3 after joining the two measuring chamber parts 1, 2. With optimum utilization of the measuring channel volume, sensor elements 4 are arranged both in the longitudinal groove of the base part 1 and of the cover part 2, which are each provided with a continuous optical covering layer 12 covering the entire sensor region. This achieves a largely homogeneous lining of the measuring channel 3, which guarantees fault-free filling of the measuring channel.
The optical cover layer 12 covering the sensor region has the following properties that can be optimized for the respective application:
Geometric properties of the measuring chamber:
The channel cross section which is responsible for the flow and filling behavior in the measuring channel 3 can be designed differently by the type of shaping of the optical covering layer. Thus, a rectangular cross-section can be realized with any aspect ratios up to the capillary gap, wherein the corners can be rounded. They are also lenticular (see
Fig. 7), elliptical or circular cross-sections conceivable. Such cross-sections can be realized, for example, with the aid of a drawing knife, wherein an insulating material with suitable viscosity must be selected for the covering layer.
It is desirable that the measuring channel has the same width over the entire length (at least in the sensor region) and therefore also has the same flow cross-section with a continuous, homogeneous coating.
The optical cover layer 12 can also be applied by dispensing, provided that
Material is sufficiently fluid and appropriate manufacturing masks are used. This
Method is preferably used when the sensor elements in wells of
Longitudinal groove 11 (see FIG. 6) are arranged or should be enclosed on all sides by the cover layer 12. Furthermore, it is possible to apply the cover layer 12 by pad printing, wherein the
Printing process is repeated until the desired layer thickness is reached.
Chemical physical properties of the topcoat:
Depending on the choice of the material for the cover layer 12, for example silicone, hydrogel, polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride with plasticizers and the like. s. w., the following important properties can be optimized for the respective application: - wettability for the sample (blood, serum, plasma, etc.) as well as for control and calibration fluids; - gas diffusion, vapor diffusion,
Permeability to liquids and gases, - permeability to protons, - storage capacity for liquids.
Optical properties of the cover layer:
By adding fillers whose type, color and concentration can be varied, the optical properties of the cover layer can be adapted to the measurement situation. It is important to largely suppress radiation from the sample (ambient light or intrinsic fluorescence) and thus to ensure so-called optical decoupling between sample and sensor element. In the area between individual sensor elements, the optical cover layer ensures optical decoupling of the individual sensor elements. For example, light is absorbed by a black filler (soot), which could otherwise spread between two adjacent sensor elements.
It should be noted that the height of the measuring channel 3 as well as the thickness of the sensor layer 4 and the optical cover layer 12 are shown exaggerated for better clarity in all the figures and the actual measuring channel 3 as a shallow gap (capillary gap) between the two optical cover layers 12 can be trained.
FIG. 2 shows the base part 2 of the measuring chamber according to FIG. 1 in a three-dimensional representation, with the covering layer 12 arranged above it being omitted to depict the sensor elements 4 in the longitudinal groove 11.
The illustrations in FIGS. 3 a and 3 b each show the base part 1 of a measuring chamber in plan view, wherein in the longitudinal groove 11 in the embodiment variant according to FIG. 3 a four sensor elements 4 'are combined to form a group. A similar embodiment is shown in FIG. 3b, where in each case three strip-shaped sensor elements 4 'are combined to form a group. Such groups of sensors can be detected by means of imaging detector systems, for example CCD cameras.
Further applications of the optical cover layer 12 can be seen in the sectional views of FIGS. 4 to 8, wherein as shown in FIG. 4 it protrudes into the regions between the adjacent sensor elements 4 and causes an optical decoupling of adjacent sensor elements. According to the embodiment variant shown in Fig. 6, it is also possible that the
Sensor elements 4 are arranged in recesses 14 at the base of the longitudinal groove 11, wherein also here a homogeneous surface is formed by the common optical cover layer 12.
If one - as shown in the sectional view of FIG. 7 - the optical cover layer
12 extends to the two groove edges 13 of the longitudinal groove 11, and provides such a training in the cover part, not shown here (see dotted line 12), one achieves a homoge- ne lining of the entire lens-shaped measuring channel cross-section with the material of the optical cover layer 12. In addition For example, the sensor elements 4 may have a diameter which is smaller than the width of the longitudinal groove 11, so that the cover layer 12 also laterally surrounds and optically decouples the sensor elements 4.
8 shows a sectional illustration of the measuring chamber, in which the longitudinal groove is chamfered in the direction of the measuring channel, wherein the covering layer 12 is likewise pulled up to the groove edges 13. This results in a flat, streamlined measuring channel.
As can be seen on the basis of the different embodiments, the two measuring chamber parts, namely the base part 1 and the cover part 2 completely identical or with respect to the
Measuring chamber axis be designed centrally symmetrical, so that these two parts can be produced with the same injection molding tool. The individual measuring chamber parts each have mutually facing inner surfaces 15, to parallel outer surfaces 16 and substantially normal to the outer surfaces 16 standing side surfaces 17. The longitudinal groove 11 is formed on the inner surface 15, respectively.
The optical excitation of the individual sensor elements 4 can take place, for example, via the side surfaces 17 of the measuring chamber parts 1, 2, the excitation radiation 6 being guided between the plane-parallel inner and outer surfaces 15, 16 to the sensor elements 4 by total reflection. In the area of the sensor elements 4, the total reflection is canceled out by equalizing the refractive indices, so that the excitation radiation can penetrate into the sensor layer of the sensor elements 4. The luminescence radiation 7 emitted by the sensor elements is measured substantially normal to the direction of the excitation radiation by the detectors 8 arranged on the outer surfaces 16.
For better coupling of the excitation radiation or for focusing the excitation radiation in the direction of the sensor elements 4, an optical element 18, for example a converging lens (see FIG. 10) or a Fresnel lens or a grating structure (see FIG 5) may be arranged or formed in one piece. For example, such optical elements 18 on the side surfaces 17 of the measuring chamber parts can already be produced by injection molding.
FIG. 9 shows an embodiment variant of the measuring chamber according to the invention, in which the longitudinal groove 11 of the base and cover parts 1, 2 along a groove edge has a cutting edge 19 projecting beyond the sealing plane #, which in the assembled state of the two measuring chamber parts 1, 2 sealingly protrudes into the respectively opposite optical cover layer 12. This results in a centrally symmetric measuring chamber, the measuring chamber parts 1, 2 are completely identical. Furthermore, in this embodiment, in the base part 1 locking and centering elements 20 may be provided which engage in corresponding symmetrically arranged locking and centering elements 20 of the cover part 2.
When assembling this measuring chamber, the two measuring chamber parts 1 and 2 merely need to be clipped together; the sealing function takes over the two cutting edges 19 in connection with the permanently elastic deformation of the cover layer 12. An additional seal or gluing of the two measuring chamber parts is not necessary.
FIGS. 10 and 11 (see sectional view according to line XI-XI in FIG. 10 and line X-X in FIG. 11) show an alternative embodiment of the measuring chamber, which between the base part 1 and the cover part 2 in the Measuring channel 3 projecting, heatable film 21 for thermostatic sation of the measuring chamber 3 has. The designated 22 electrical connections for the heated film 21 may also be led out laterally in the sealing plane s from the measuring chamber. The heatable film 21 may, according to FIG. 12, be applied to a carrier film 26, for example in the form of a meandering conductor 25. Due to a specific design of the conductor tracks (width, shape, conductor track guidance, distance between the tracks to each other), the local heating power can be adapted to the requirements. So z.
B. at the sample inlet an increased heating power necessary to quickly sample or reheat the sample.
In the arrangement of a plurality of sensor elements in a measuring chamber part (see Fig. 11;
3 sensor elements in the base part 1 and in the cover part 2), the measuring radiation originating from the individual sensor elements of a measuring chamber part must be clearly assigned to the individual sensor elements. For this purpose, both optical separation devices and electronic or mathematical devices are available in the evaluation device, as disclosed, for example, in EP 0 793 090 A1. In particular, it should be mentioned that the excitation and the evaluation can be pulsed in time, or that the excitation and the measurement radiation can be modulated and demodulated accordingly. At least the sensor region S is covered with the continuous cover layer 12 within the measuring chamber.
According to embodiment variant Fig. 13, it is also possible between the base part 1 and the
Cover part 2 a the measuring channel 3 in two sub-channels 3 ', 3 "separating film separating 23 to arrange.
With such a measuring chamber, a sample can be measured simultaneously via the first sub-channel 3 'and a calibration or reference means can be measured simultaneously via the second sub-channel 3. If identical sensor elements 4 are arranged opposite one another, both can use the same
Be excited (see excitation geometry according to FIG. 10), so that intensity fluctuations of the light source have no influence on the ratio probe to reference signal.
In addition to a connection by Zusammenklipsen (see Fig. 9), a liquid-tight
Connection between base part 1 and cover part 2 also by welding or by gluing (see, for example, adhesive layer or double-adhesive tape 24 as shown in FIG. Furthermore, between the
Base part 1 and the cover part 2, a sealing element 27 may be arranged (Fig. 10).
