    Abstract: The present invention relates to an optical system having a chamber (26) for receiving an element (E) of body fluid or tissue or environmental sample to be characterized by the optical system, a light source (5) for illuminating the chamber (26) with light, and a spectrometer (6) for recording a spectrum of light originating from the chamber (26), wherein the light source (5) comprising two separate LEDs (5A, 5B) to emit light having at least two spectral maxima of different wavelength ranges, and the light source (5) is coupled to the chamber (26) such that the light is directed from the light source (5) to the chamber (26) when the light source (5) is activated. Further, the present invention relates to a method for determining a parameter with an optical system, wherein the optical system comprises a chamber (26) for receiving an element of body fluid or tissue or environmental sample to be characterized by the optical system, a light source (5) for illuminating the chamber with light, and a spectrometer (6) for measuring a spectrum of light originating from the chamber (26), wherein, in order to determine a parameter representing a property of the element, light having at least two spectral maxima of different wavelength ranges are generated by separate LEDs (5A, 5B) and is directed onto the element, a spectrum comprising reflected components of the light, scattered components of the light, and/or light caused by raman scattering or fluorescence of the element is measured with the spectrometer (6), and the parameter is determined by evaluating the spectrum.

    Abstract: Disclosed is an optical flow cell (100, 300) and a method (400) for bioprocessing applications. The optical flow cell (100, 300) comprises a fluid inlet (102, 302), a fluid outlet (104, 304), and a fluid flow channel (106, 306) provided between said fluid inlet (102, 302) and said fluid outlet (104, 304). The optical flow cell (100, 300) also comprises an output optical waveguide (108, 308) configured to emit light into said fluid flow channel (106, 306), and a collector optical waveguide (110, 310) configured to collect light from said fluid flow channel (106, 306). An optical pathlength adjuster (120, 320) for varying the optical pathlength (130, 330) between said output optical waveguide (108, 308) and said collector optical waveguide (110, 310) is also provided.
