Abstract: An optical measurement instrument comprises a measurement head (101) and mechanical support elements (102, 103) arranged to support a sample plate (106). The measurement head is moved towards the sample plate and, after the measurement head has touched the sample plate, the measurement head is moved backwards away from the sample plate so as to provide a desired distance between the measurement head and the sample plate. A sensor device (112, 113) is attached to the mechanical support elements and arranged detect a mechanical effect occurring in the mechanical support elements due to force directed by the measurement head to the sample plate. Hence, the situation in which the measurement head touches the sample plate can be detected without a need to provide the measurement head with a force sensor. This is advantageous because the measurement head can be a changeable module of the optical measurement instrument.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to the field of biochemical laboratory. More particularly the invention relates to the improved and more accurate instrumental features of equipment used as e.g. fluorometers, photometers and luminometers. The object of the invention is achieved by providing an optical measurement instrument where there is an interface (218, 223, 233a, 233b, 238) for a changeable optical module (240), and excitation and/or emission beam is guided through an aperture of the optical module. This allows performing various types of measurements by changing an optical module without a problem lenses becoming unclean due to manual handling of the optical modules. The invention also makes possible to achieve an accurate measurement location and area within a sample.

Abstract: An optical measurement instrument,which is equipped with transportation protection, includes a body structure (201), a mechanical support element(202) for supporting an optical interface, a moveably supported receptable element (211) for receiving a sample plate and located between the mechanical support element and the body structure, and a detachable transportation protection element (212-215) arranged to mechanically restrict movements of the receptable element and the mechanical support element. The transportation protection element is arranged to be pressed between the mechanical support element (202) and the body structure (201).Hence, for the transportation protection,there is no need to usee.g. a bolt that may be more laborious to install and remove than the transportation protection element to be pressed between the mechanical support element (202) and the body structure (201).

Abstract: An optical measurement instrument includes a measurement head and mechanical support elements arranged to support a sample well plate. The measurement head is moved towards the sample well plate and, after the measurement head has touched the sample well plate, the measurement head is moved backwards away from the sample well plate so as to provide a desired distance between the measurement head and the sample well plate. A sensor device is attached to the mechanical support elements and arranged detect a mechanical effect occurring in the mechanical support elements due to force directed by the measurement head to the sample well plate. Hence, the situation in which the measurement head touches the sample well plate can be detected without a need to provide the measurement head with a force sensor. This is advantageous because the measurement head can be a changeable module of the optical measurement instrument.
