An apparatus for measuring the luminescence and the fluorescence of a sample, comprising: a light tight optics box (110) capable of receiving a pipette tip (208) containing a sample; an optical sensor (316) located within the optics box and capable of being disposed in both a luminescence reading position (326) and a fluorescence reading position (330); an excitation light fiber optic bundle (1216) and a sample transmission fiber optic bundle (1214); an excitation light assembly (1106, 1108, 1110) that projects excitation light onto a first terminus end (1204) of the excitation light fiber optic bundle; and an in-line filter (1212) located along the sample transmission fiber optic bundle. |
