| 摘要 |
The invention relates to a microplate reader (23) comprising a measurement area (43); an action source (45'); a measuring device (46) for signals caused or generated in or on biological structures in wells (2) of a microplate (3); a transport support (22) for positioning wells (2) of a microplate (3) relative to an optical axis (51) of the measuring device (46); and a controller (50) for the action source (45'), the measuring device (46), and the transport support (22). The microplate reader (23) comprises an incubation device that comprises a frame (4) for receiving a microplate (3) with wells (2), which have well bases, in order to reduce an evaporation of a liquid out of wells (2) of a microplate (3). The frame (4) comprises a first opening (5), which is surrounded by an inner wall (6) and the dimensions of which are designed for inserting a microplate (3), and an outer wall (9), which runs substantially parallel to the inner wall (6) and which adjoins the inner wall (6) via an intermediate base (10) such that a channel (11) that surrounds the first opening (5) is formed by the two walls (6, 9) and the intermediate base (10) in order to receive a liquid adapted to the volume of the microplate wells (2). The incubation device comprises a support surface (7) with a second opening (8), said support surface (7) being designed for carrying an inserted microplate (3), and as a result of the second opening (8), at least one part of the bases of the wells (2) of a microplate (3) inserted into the incubation device is freely accessible through the second opening (8). |
