Luminometer.

摘要

A method and apparatus for determining a plurality of substances or constituents of a specimen sample includes the steps of placing a single specimen sample in a reaction vessel or test tube and adding at least two reagents to the reaction vessel to form a detectable product and then initiating a reaction within the vessel and provide an emission of light energy in a predetermined spectral range. The reaction vessel is disposed in a chamber of a housing and a plurality of detector assemblies are disposed about the housing with portions of the detector assemblies disposed through the housing and exposed to the reaction vessel. Each of the detector assemblies receives a portion of the light emission and feeds such portion to a detector. Each of the detectors detect the existence of light emissions in one of a plurality of spectral ranges and feeds that information to processing circuitry to provide data for determining the presence of a specific specimen substance(s) or constituent(s) based upon the detected luminescence.
