    Abstract: A system and a method for optimizing an iris setting, used in combination with a lamp, for each excitation wavelength for each carousel run in an apparatus for identifying and measuring bacteria in biological samples. The system includes a feedback control loop positioned between a filter wheel and an optical cup for measuring the intensity level of the excitation wavelength, and feeding this information to an iris having an iris setting control device such that the iris setting may be adjusted based upon the measured intensity level to control and optimize the level of light fed to the filter wheel from the lamp. The iris setting can be adjusted so that the level of light fed to the filter wheel remains constant during the lifetime of the lamp and to ensure that the level of light fed to the sample remains below the level at which photo-bleaching occurs.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a system for conducting the identification and quantification of micro-organisms, e.g., bacteria in biological samples. More particularly, the invention relates to a system comprising a disposable cartridge and an optical cup or cuvette having a tapered surface; wherein the walls are angled to allow for better coating and better striations of the light, an optics system including an optical reader and a thermal controller; an optical analyzer; a cooling system; and an improved spectrometer. The system may utilize the disposable cartridge in the sample processor and the optical cup or cuvette in the optical analyzer.
