Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0075644A1] The invention relates to a variable configuration of a sensor platform, based on a planar thin-film waveguide, for determining one or more luminescences of one or more measuring areas on said sensor platform. The configuration comprises an optical film waveguide with a first optically transparent layer (a) on a second optically transparent layer (b) with a lower index of refraction than layer (a) and at least one grating structure for coupling excitation light into the measuring areas or coupling luminescent light out of said measuring areas. The invention also relates to an optical system for determining luminescence and to an analytical system comprising a sensor platform, an inventive optical system and supply means for bringing one or more samples into contact with the measuring areas on the sensor platform. The invention also relates to methods for determining luminescence and to the use of these methods.
