Measuring device with gas-conducting element and method for rinsing the measuring device

Abstract

A measuring device, in particular a calorimeter, is described which comprises: i) a sensor device which is configured for capturing a measurand with respect to a sample and which comprises: ia) a base region, and ib) a sample storing region which protrudes from a main surface of the base region and which is configured for storing a sample reception; ii) a sensor interior in which the sensor device is at least partially arranged; iii) a rinsing gas supply device which is configured for providing a rinsing gas into the sensor interior; and iv) a gas-conducting element which covers the sensor interior and which comprises: at least one opening through which the protruding sample storing region at least partially extends, such that a slit between a side wall of the protruding sample storing region and the gas-conducting element remains.
