DEVICE FOR TEMPERATURE CONTROL OF A MEASURING CELL IN AN ANALYZER, AND MEASURING CELL WHICH CAN BE EXCHANGEABLY INSERTED IN AN ANALYZER

摘要

The invention relates to a device for thermostatting ameasuring cell 1 in an analyzer, at least comprising themeasuring cell 1 with a measuring channel 7, said measuringchannel 7 containing at least one sensor element 10, and theanalyzer, which is furnished with a thermostatted supportingsurface 3. The measuring cell 1 can be inserted into theanalyzer in an exchangeable manner and can be brought intocontact with the thermostatted supporting surface 3 at leastin a contact area, the measuring cell 1 having an essentiallyplanar measuring cell wall 2, 5 at least in this contact area.For rapid, reproducible temperature control of the media andsensor elements contained in the measuring cell a heat-conductive,elastic or plastic layer 11 is provided, whichwill adhere at least in the contact area to at least onemeasuring cell wall 2, 5 or to the thermostatted supportingsurface 3 of the analyzer and which can be removed,essentially without residue, from the opposing thermostattedsupporting surface 3 or the measuring cell wall 2, 5 when themeasuring cell 1 is exchanged.
