Laboratory Analyser Unit

Abstract

A laboratory analyser unit (10) for determining an analyte of a liquid sample (48) mixed with a reagent and contained in a sample cuvette (40) which comprises a thermal radiation measuring field (46) on the outside, comprising an analyser (12) for determining an analyte concentration of the liquid sample (48) in the sample cuvette (40), a pyrometer (50) for determining the surface temperature of the measuring field (46) wherein the pyrometer (50) is arranged in such a way that a detection cone (52) of the pyrometer (50) is aligned with the measurement field (46) of the sample cuvette (40) inserted into the analyser unit (10), and an analyser control unit (20), which is signal-connected to the analyser (12) and which comprises a temperature evaluation module (22) which is signal-connected to the pyrometer (50) and which evaluates the sample cuvette temperature (T) determined by the pyrometer (50). The invention allows a simple temperature detection of the sample temperature.
