INSTRUMENTATION AND METHOD FOR OPTICAL MEASUREMENT OF SAMPLES

摘要

An optical measurement instrument according to the invention comprises one or more temperature sensors(122) arranged to measure sample well specific temperatures from sample wells(111-117) arranged to store samples (103-109) to be optically measured. A processing device (121) of the optical measurement instrument is arranged to correct, using a predetermined mathematical rule, measurement results obtained by the optical measurements on the basis of the measured sample well specific temperatures. Hence, the adverse effect caused by temperature differences between different samples on the accuracy of the temperature correction of the measurement results is mitigated.
