Abstract
According to an embodiment, a mobile diagnostic structure comprises a housing including a space therein; a partitioning module partitioning the space to include a preparation room and an analysis room; an inlet module providing an incoming path from an outside to the preparation room for a raw sample; and a transfer module providing a transfer path from the preparation room to the analysis room, for a pre-treated sample which is a result of pre-treating the raw sample in the preparation room.
Claims15
A mobile diagnostic structure, comprising:
- a housing including a space therein;
- a partitioning module partitioning the space to include a sample-collecting room, a preparation room, and an analysis room;
- an inlet module providing an incoming path from an outside of the housing to the preparation room for a raw sample;
- a glove wall disposed between the sample-collecting room and a sampling space in which a sample provider stays when the sample collecting is conducted;
- a transfer module providing a transfer path from the preparation room to the analysis room, for a pre-treated sample which is a result of pre-treating the raw sample in the preparation room;
- a first entrance/exit module providing a first entrance/exit path used when a practitioner moves between the outside and the preparation room;
- and
- a second entrance/exit module providing a second entrance/exit path used when a practitioner moves between the outside and the analysis room,
- wherein the inlet module includes a door unit configured to open or close an opening for the inlet module, the opening for the inlet module being formed in the housing,
- wherein the glove wall includes a glove wearable on a sample-collecting practitioner's arm to allow the sample-collecting practitioner positioned in the sample-collecting room to conduct sample collecting from the sample provider outside the housing,
- wherein the incoming path and the first entrance/exit path are disposed in positions that do not overlap with each other in a plan view,
- wherein the transfer module comprises:
- a middle chamber providing a predetermined space where the pretreated sample is to be placed,
- a preparation room-side door unit configured to open or close a connection passage between the middle chamber and the preparation room,
- an analysis room-side door unit configured to open or close a connection passage between the middle chamber and the analysis room,
- a door opening/closing control unit controlling the preparation room-side door unit and the analysis room-side door unit so that while either the preparation room-side connection passage or the analysis room-side connection passage becomes open, the other remains closed, and
- an air pressure adjustment unit adjusting an internal air pressure of the middle chamber, and an air pressure controller controlling the air pressure adjustment unit,
- wherein the air pressure controller adjusts the internal air pressure of the middle chamber to be identical to the internal air pressure of the preparation room while the preparation room-side connection passage is opened by the preparation room-side door unit in a state in which the analysis room-side connection passage is blocked by the analysis room-side door unit, and
- wherein the air pressure controller adjusts the internal air pressure of the middle chamber to be identical to the internal air pressure of the analysis room while the analysis room-side connection passage is opened by the analysis room-side door unit in a state in which the preparation room-side connection passage is blocked by the preparation room-side door unit.
