Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2019068352A1] The invention relates to a device for automatic species analysis and to a method for carrying out the same. In particular, the invention relates to a device for automatic species analysis within a large biological group and to a method for automatically carrying out such analyses. A device according to the invention for automatic species analysis within a large biological group comprises a first beam path (10), directed from a first laser radiation source (12) to a sample region (40), the fluorescence radiation emitted by a sample (42) within the sample region (40) as a result of excitation by the first laser radiation source (12) being collected and fed to a first spectrometer (14) for spectral evaluation; a second beam path (20), directed from a second laser radiation source (22) to the sample region (40), the fluorescence radiation emitted by the sample (42) within the sample region (40) as a result of excitation by the second laser radiation source (22) being collected and fed to a second spectrometer (24) for spectral evaluation; and a camera (30), which is designed to capture a photograph of the sample (42) within the sample region (40); the device also comprising a means for automatic species analysis (50), which is designed to carry out an automatic species analysis from the sample-related results of the spectroscopic evaluation of the first spectrometer (14) and of the second spectrometer (24) and the photograph of the camera (30) by means of a multi-step threshold value comparison for certain determination parameters stored in an associated database. A method according to the invention serves to carry out an automatic species analysis by means of a device according to the invention.
