The caps in the Sallen-Key filter will charge up to the channel

You could improve it by adding an opamp follower right after the mux.
Got it. Will try by introducing a opamp follower (Buffer?) after mux
if needed.

Do you really need the post-mux filter?
I am also not sure. How can I measure or asses noise in this type of
circuits? I have a PC based DSO, oscilloscope. How I can use it to see
the noise presence? is it possible?

Given a 2 uF cap at each mux input, I doubt you need a post-mux
filter. If you do see more noise than you like, just average a bunch
of ADC shots.

This is temperature after all, and LM35s aren't especially accurate
anyhow.
