Abstract
This examination device is provided with a substrate a microneedle that pierces the skin to collect a body fluid; a body fluid flow path that transfers the body fluid collected by the microneedle; and an immunoassay unit that detects, using an antigen-antibody reaction, a biomarker that may be included in the body fluid that has been transferred through the body fluid flow path, wherein the microneedle, the body fluid flow path, and the immunoassay unit are disposed on a surface on one side of the substrate.
Claims20
An examination device, comprising:
- a substrate;
- a microneedle that pierces skin to collect a body fluid;
- a body fluid flow path that transfers the body fluid collected by the microneedle;
- and
- an immunoassay structure configured to detect, using an antigen-antibody reaction, a biomarker in the body fluid that has been transferred through the body fluid flow path, wherein
- the microneedle, the body fluid flow path, and the immunoassay unit are disposed on a surface on one side of the substrate,
- the surface on the one side is a surface on a tip end side of the microneedle,
- the body fluid flow path extends in a direction perpendicular to a thickness direction of the substrate on the surface on the one side of the substrate,
- a height of the microneedle is 800 μm or more and 1 mm or less, and
- fine unevenness is formed on a surface of the microneedle and a surface of the body fluid flow path in a vicinity of the microneedle.
An examination device comprising a body fluid flow path on a surface on one side of a substrate, wherein
- the body fluid flow path widens in a direction perpendicular to a thickness direction of the substrate on the surface on the one side of the substrate,
- the body fluid flow path is provided with a microneedle and an immunoassay structure,
- the surface on the one side is a surface on a tip end side of the microneedle,
- a height of the microneedle is 800 μm or more and 1 mm or less, and
- fine unevenness is formed on a surface of the microneedle and a surface of the body fluid flow path in a vicinity of the microneedle.
