Abstract
This application relates to an analyte collecting device, an analyte collecting method and an analyte inspection system using the same. In one aspect, the device includes a case including an opening and an internal space. The device may also include a piston including one or more partition walls dividing the internal space into a plurality of internal spaces. The piston may be inserted into the internal space through the opening of the case to reciprocate in the internal space.
Claims19
An analyte collecting device comprising:
- a case including an opening and an internal space;
- and
- a piston including one or more partition walls dividing the internal space into a plurality of internal sections, the piston being inserted into the internal space through the opening of the case to reciprocate in the internal space,
- wherein the case further includes:
- a specimen injection port including an injection hole to allow the internal space to communicate with an outside of the case so that a sample can be injected through the injection hole,
- wherein the specimen injection port further includes a cap configured to seal the injection hole by selectively covering the injection hole, and
- wherein the injection hole is formed in a side surface of the case to extend in a direction perpendicular to an insertion direction of the piston,
- wherein the one or more partition walls include four partition walls,
- wherein the plurality of internal sections include a first section, a second section, a third section, and a fourth section sequentially divided by the four partition walls, the first section to the fourth section being sequentially disposed away from the opening of the case,
- wherein the first section is filled with a solution configured to dissolve a biomaterial contained in the sample and binds at least a portion of an analyte in the biomaterial to a magnetic substance,
- wherein the second section is filled with a solution configured to wash at least a portion of the analyte bonded to the magnetic substance,
- wherein the third section is filled with a solution configured to elute at least a portion of the analyte bonded to the magnetic substance from the magnetic substance, and
- wherein the fourth section is formed adjacent to the third section and in contact with an inner end of the case.
