<p>A measuring device 30 for the analysis of biological matter, for example saliva, and a method for the commissioning and operation of a measuring device, to carry out the temperature regulation of a sample 58 in a test strip 37 with the aid of a temperature-regulating block 40 and a heating/cooling unit 92. The sample 58 is fed to the test strip 37 by means of a developer fluid 57 and a metering unit 55. The result of the detection reaction becomes visible by a colour change 36, which is detected and evaluated optically. The data of a control chart (52) with the measured values of a first and second temperature sensor 41, 42 are used in order to establish the control parameters for the temperature regulation. In the procedure for the initialization, commissioning and operation of a measuring device, the state of the device is interrogated in a sequence of steps and an identifier 86 on the test sample holder 35 is read out. The control parameters for the phases of the measurement are ascertained from the measured values of a first and second temperature sensor 41, 42, the values of the control chart (52) and the identifier 86 of the test sample holder 35 and are then converted by the temperature-regulating unit 53 in the course of the measurement.</p> |
