More Information
Summary:The invention concerns a sensor cassette (1) that can be inserted into an analyzer comprising a continuous measuring channel (2) for receiving fluidic media and sensory elements (3, 4) for determining chemical and/or physical parameters of the fluidic media. According to the invention the sensor cassette (1) consists of at least two permanently connected but separately manufactured modules (5, 5', 6, 6') which each have a housing (7, 8) and a measuring channel section (9, 10) wherein the measuring channel sections (9, 10) of adjacent modules are connected to the continuous measuring channel (2) by a fluidic coupling (11) and wherein at least one of the connected modules (5, 6) is designed as a sensor module and has a sensor array comprising at least two sensory elements (3, 4). Furthermore, a memory element (19) is allocated to the sensor cassette on which specific information for the sensor cassette (1) in particular with regard to its construction from the respective modules (5, 5', 6, 6') is stored.
