Abstract
The present invention relates to a sampler which is capable of rapidly and easily separating blood corpuscles from blood, being operated conveniently, and directly using extracted plasma. According to one embodiment of the present invention, a sampler includes a chamber and a membrane guide. Here, the chamber includes an insertion unit having an insertion hole on one side, wherein the other side is opened, and an inner side includes a receiving space for receiving a sample. Additionally, one side of the membrane guide is combined to the membrane, and the membrane guide includes a channel wherein filtered materials, which are filtered through the membrane among the samples received in the receiving space, are moved in a gravitational direction.
Claims14
A sampler comprising:
- a chamber in which an insertion unit having an insertion hole is formed at a side, another side of which is open, and in which a storage space is formed to store a sample;
- and
- a membrane guide, one side of which is coupled to a membrane positioned inside the chamber and being in parallel to a side wall of the chamber, and which includes a channel in which a substance filtered from the sample stored in the storage space through the membrane moves in the direction of gravity,
- wherein the storage space storing the sample is formed between the membrane and an inner surface of the side wall of the chamber in a direction of a plane of the membrane,
- a direction in which the sample passes through the membrane is perpendicular to the direction of gravity.
A sampler comprising:
- a chamber in which an insertion unit having an insertion hole is formed at a side, another side of which is open, and in which a storage space is formed to store a sample;
- and
- a membrane guide, one side of which is coupled to a membrane, and which includes a channel in which a substance filtered from the sample stored in the storage space through the membrane moves in the direction of gravity,
- wherein the membrane guide comprises:
- a pressurizing portion formed to correspond to the storage space and including outer side surfaces to be in close contact with the storage space;
- a body portion which is formed at one side of the pressurizing portion, in which the membrane is disposed at both side surfaces thereof to cover the channel, and which is spaced a predetermined distance from wall surfaces of the storage space to allow the sample to pass through the membrane and to be introduced into the membrane guide;
- and
- a discharging unit formed at another side of the pressurizing portion to be coupled to the insertion unit by being inserted into the insertion unit, and including an outlet passage therein to guide the filtered substance to be discharged.
A sampler comprising:
- a membrane guide in which a sample is stored in an inner space formed by a membrane covering side surfaces of the membrane guide, and that allows a substance filtered from the sample through the membrane to be discharged;
- and
- a chamber including an internal storage space into which the membrane guide is inserted via another side of the chamber that is open, and an insertion unit having an insertion hole and formed in a tubular shape at another side of the chamber to cause the substance filtered through the membrane to move in the direction of gravity and then be discharged.
