Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a diagnostic cartridge for immunodiagnosis, and a reader and a diagnostic system using the same. A diagnostic cartridge, including the diagnostic pad and the color reaction pad, is provided to detect a color reaction and a fluorescence reaction through the single diagnostic cartridge.
Claims11
An immunodiagnostic system performing immunodiagnosis using a diagnostic cartridge inserted into a reader, comprising:
- a diagnostic cartridge;
- and
- a reader,
- wherein the diagnostic cartridge comprises:
- sample inlets located in different positions on the upper surface;
- a case having a first window for fluorescence measurement and a barcode;
- and
- a pad part located on a support within the case,
- wherein the pad part comprises:
- a sample pad allowing a sample inserted into the sample inlet to move;
- a coloration pad arranged to correspond to the position of the sample inlet on the sample pad;
- and
- a diagnostic pad located at the end of the sample pad and arranged to correspond to the position of the first window to detect emitted fluorescence,
- wherein the reader comprises:
- an insertion space into which the diagnostic cartridge is inserted;
- a driving module moving an optical module, including a light source and a barcode light source located in different positions;
- and
- a control unit, which when insertion of the diagnostic cartridge into the insertion space is detected, controls the driving module to move the barcode light source to the barcode position of the diagnostic cartridge to control irradiation of a first amount of light toward the barcode, recognizes a type of the diagnostic cartridge and a type of the sample based on the light detected from the barcode through an illuminance sensor, loads position information of the sample inlet and the first window according to the recognized type of the diagnostic cartridge, controls the driving module to move the barcode light source to the position of the sample inlet corresponding to the sample pad position of the diagnostic cartridge to control irradiation of a second amount of light, which is less than the first amount, in a direction of the sample inlet, and detects the color reaction of the coloration pad through the illuminance sensor.
