Abstract:
A reaction cassette for a glycated hemoglobin meter and a measuring method thereof are provided. The reaction cassette for the glycated hemoglobin meter includes: a first zone receiving a first reagent and a blood sample; a second zone receiving a second reagent; a reaction zone in which the blood sample reacts with the first reagent, or through which the second reagent passes to react with a first blood sample mixture obtained by reacting the blood sample with the first reagent; and a measurement zone measuring an amount of total hemoglobin in the first blood sample mixture, or measuring an amount of glycated hemoglobin in a second blood sample mixture obtained by reacting the first blood sample mixture with the second reagent, wherein the blood sample, the first reagent, and the second reagent move between the reaction zone and the measurement zone according to a rotation angle of the reaction cassette when the reaction cassette is rotated. Therefore, since the reaction cassette rotates automatically, it is possible to measure the amount of glycated hemoglobin in a blood sample through simple manipulation and reduce a manufacturing time. Furthermore, since reagents are supplied to the reaction cassette from a separate reagent pack, it is possible to resolve storage and distribution problems of the reaction cassette, which occur when reagents are stored in the reaction cassette.
Abstract:
A reaction cassette for a glycated hemoglobin meter is provided, the reaction cassette comprising a reaction zone for providing a space for receiving a first reagent, wherein a blood sample reacts with the first reagent in the reaction zone, and a measurement zone for providing a space for measuring an amount of glycated hemoglobin in the blood sample, wherein injecting the blood sample into the reaction zone induces a movement of the first reagent toward the reaction zone in order to obtain a mixture by reacting the blood sample with the first reagent in the reaction zone.
Abstract:
A biosensor measuring an analyte contained in a sample is provided, including: an insulative lower substrate that has at least one electrode (31) on which an enzyme reaction layer (33) reacting with the analyte is formed; an upper substrate (10) that faces the lower substrate and is made of a conductive material; and an adhesive layer (20) that has a sample feed (21) with a predetermined height on the enzyme reaction layer and attaches the upper and lower substrates to each other, where an end of the upper substrate acts as an electrode in which an electron-transfer mediator contained in the enzyme reaction layer is oxidized or reduced, and the other end acts as an electrical contact part that electrically contacts a measurement unit.
Abstract:
A reaction cassette for a glycated hemoglobin meter is provided, the reaction cassette comprising a first storage holder for sealingly storing a first reagent by a foil cover, a reaction zone for providing a space for reacting a blood sample with the first reagent, and a measurement zone for providing a space for measuring an amount of glycated hemoglobin in the blood sample, wherein the reaction cassette further comprises a locking jaw configured to form an opening in the foil cover, wherein the first reagent flows from the first storage holder toward the reaction zone via the opening formed in the foil cover, wherein a mixture is obtained by reacting the blood sample with the first reagent in the reaction zone.
