The invention relates to an arrangement for the detection of biochemical or chemical substances using fluorescent light excitation, and to a process for its production, which can be used in a variety of fields, for example in biotechnology, in molecular medicine, in pharmaceuticals development and for the analysis or various chemical substances. A relatively simple structure is intended to provide the invention with the possibility of being able to carry out the detection of a large number of samples in a very short time with a high degree of accuracy. To that end, a laminar substrate is formed with a locally defined structure in order to detect different samples. Advantageously, on the detector side, a lens array designed according to the structuring can be used to project the fluorescent light from the different samples on to a detector array. It is, however, also possible to place a detector array matched to the structuring of the substrate on the substrate, or arrange it there.

Device for detecting biochemical or chemical substances by fluorescence excitation

The invention relates to a surface plasmon resonance sensor for the simultaneous measurement of a plurality of samples present in fluid form. The aim of the invention is to provide such a sensor which can be arranged into a defined array and where the surface plasmon resonance sensors can be produced using technology which is simpler and more economical than those produced according to the prior art. To this end several strip-like optical wave guides ( ) are arranged on a planar support ( ) at a defined distance to each other in such a way that their front faces ( ) are flush with opposite sides ( ) of the planar support ( ). Each strip-like optical wave guide ( ) in a section which is to be brought into contact with the fluid samples has at least one thin metal layer ( ) which permits the excitation of surface plasmons. Means ( ) are provided for which separate the measurement zones of the individual thin metal layers ( ) from each other in such a way that each of the optical wave guides ( ) can be assigned to only one sample.
