In an analysis device and a method for testing the catalytic activity of surfaces, a reaction cell is provided that has a recess for a sample that is provided with the catalytic surface. In the analysis device, an optical test of the reaction occurring in the reaction cell may occur. The reaction cell has a closed channel that is part of a fluid circuit. The reaction cell may be advantageously designed in a very space-saving manner in its scale, such that a portable use of the analysis cell is possible as well. Here, a simple measurement process of the absorption capacity of the sample fluid located in the reaction cell is conducted. To this end, a laser diode is provided, the measurement stream of which is directed into the reaction cell and reflected multiple times. The light intensity is measured by means of a photodetector.
