Patent ID: 8885166

Claim:
An analyzer for biochemical analysis comprising: i) a seat configured to accommodate a recipient; ii) a first light source configured to provide luminous radiation in a first excitation band, including a first excitation wavelength of fluorophores of a first type, and oriented so as to illuminate the recipient when the recipient is accommodated by the seat; iii) a first image sensor arranged to receive light emitted by fluorophores contained in the recipient when the recipient is accommodated by the seat, the first image sensor including a first detection filter, having a first detection passband that includes a first emission wavelength of the fluorophores of the first type; iv) a second light source configured to provide luminous radiation in a second excitation band, including a second excitation wavelength of fluorophores of a second type, and oriented so as to illuminate the recipient when the recipient is accommodated by the seat; v) a second image sensor arranged so as to receive light emitted by fluorophores contained in the recipient when the recipient is accommodated by the seat, the second image sensor including a second detection filter having a second detection passband that includes a second emission wavelength of the fluorophores of the second type; vi) a control unit coupled to the first light source, the second light source, the first image sensor, and the second image sensor, and configured to activate, in succession, selectively one of the first light source and the second light source, and receive image signals from the first image sensor and the second image sensor; vii) wherein the first image sensor includes a red channel, a green channel, and a blue channel configured to receive first channel signals of the image signals; the second image sensor includes a red channel, to a green channel and to a blue channel configured to receive second channel signals of the image signals; viii) wherein the control unit is configured to weigh and combine the first channel signals and the second channel signals for determining concentrations of substances contained in the recipient.
