Abstract:
The present disclosure is related to a device for measuring reflective absorbance, a device for lateral flow assay, and a device comprising the same which is able to performing both absorbance measurement and lateral flow assay together. The present device for measuring reflective absorbance comprises a base member comprising a sample receiving part; and a cover member covering an upper portion of the base member; the cover member comprising a sample inlet through which a sample is introduced into the sample receiving part and a light transmitting member. The present integrated device for measuring reflective absorbance and lateral flow assay, the integrated device comprises a cover member and a base member, the cover member and the base member extending in one direction from the corresponding parts in the device for measuring reflective absorbance, wherein the cover member formed on the lateral flow assay device comprise a second sample inlet and a window, the base member formed on the lateral flow assay device comprises a strip receiving part, which may further comprises a window cover. The present devices provides convenient loading of a sample and also provides an accurate, reliable and reproducible result for example by measuring the reflective absorbance. Also the present integrated device provides further convenience by performing a lateral flow assay and absorption measurement in one device.
Abstract:
Provided is a system for sampling and pretreating biological fluid. It comprises: a piercing unit having at a lower portion a capillary tip which is to be inserted into skin to a predetermined depth to take biological fluid therethrough; a dropper, connected to an upper portion of the piercing unit, having an injection tube at an upper portion thereof, the injection tube communicating with the capillary tip; and a reagent container, designed to accommodate the piercing unit therein in an airtight manner so as to seal an outer circumference of the piercing unit, functioning to contain a reagent for treating the biological fluid of the capillary tip of the piercing unit. The system allows even a novice to sample and pretreat biological fluid with high accuracy without the use of expensive precision devices. The system employs fewer expendable supplies, thus providing higher convenience for the user.
Abstract:
The present application relates to: a strip for lateral flow assay, comprising a support, a medium for development, a sample pad comprising a subpad, and an absorption pad; and a cartridge for lateral flow assay, comprising the same. According to the present application, the strip adopts a novel sample loading method, thereby obtaining reproducible results irrespective of the volume of an injected sample, and it is possible to readily change the amount of a sample, as necessary, thereby improving the reproducibility of measured results and convenience.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a system for measuring the hemoglobin concentration in whole blood, wherein the system comprises: a light-radiating unit including a light source that emits two types of incident light having different wavelengths; a diffusion unit which diffuses the incident light emitted by the light-radiating unit; a cuvette-holding unit which is formed so as to hold a cuvette including a blood sample; a detection unit which detects each absorbance of the two types of incident light having different wavelengths; a processing unit which determines the hemoglobin concentration in the blood by processing the measured absorbance result; and a control unit which regulates the two types of incident light having different wavelengths in order to repeatedly/sequentially radiate same. Although the system for measuring hemoglobin in whole blood of the present invention uses a small amount of whole blood, it is possible to measure the total hemoglobin concentration in an accurate and reliable manner. The system of the present invention aligns the paths of two types of incident light having different wavelengths passing through a microcuvette by using a diffuser plate so as to easily align a light source and increase the reliability of the results. Also, the system of the present invention uses two wavelengths so as to rapidly and accurately measure the total amount of hemoglobin, including oxidized and reduced hemoglobin.
