DEVICE FOR DETECTING BIOCHEMICAL OR CHEMICAL SUBSTANCES BY FLUORESCENCE EXCITATION AND METHOD FOR ITS PRODUCTION

摘要

The invention relates to an arrangement for the detection of biochemical or chemical substances using fluorescent light excitation, and to a process for its production, which can be used in a variety of fields, for example in biotechnology, in molecular medicine, in pharmaceuticals development and for the analysis or various chemical substances. A relatively simple structure is intended to provide the invention with the possibility of being able to carry out the detection of a large number of samples in a very short time with a high degree of accuracy. To that end, a laminar substrate is formed with a locally defined structure in order to detect different samples. Advantageously, on the detector side, a lens array designed according to the structuring can be used to project the fluorescent light from the different samples on to a detector array. It is, however, also possible to place a detector array matched to the structuring of the substrate on the substrate, or arrange it there.
