Description

Technical Field

[0002] Chemiluminescent labeling immunoassay, also known as chemiluminescent immunoassay (CLIA), is an immunoassay method that directly labels antigens or antibodies with chemiluminescent agents. The chemiluminescent immunoassay instrument consists of two parts, namely the immunoreaction system and the chemiluminescent analysis system. The chemiluminescent analysis system uses the catalysis of the chemiluminescent substance and the oxidation of the oxidant to form an excited intermediate. When this excited intermediate returns to a stable ground state, it simultaneously emits a photon (hM), and the light quantum yield is measured using a luminescent signal measuring instrument. The immunoreaction system is to directly label the luminescent substance (an excited intermediate generated under the excitation of the reactant) on the antigen (chemiluminescent immunoassay) or antibody (immunochemiluminescent assay), or an enzyme acts on a luminescent substrate.

[0038] In this embodiment, Figure 2As shown, the slat feeding system 4 includes a slat frame 12, a plate feeding device, a plate taking device and a sample loading buffer device, the plate feeding device, the plate taking device and the sample loading buffer device are all fixed on the frame 1, the plate taking device is arranged behind the plate feeding device, the sample loading buffer device is arranged between the plate taking device and the incubation area 5, the plate feeding device, the plate taking device and the sample loading buffer device are respectively electrically connected to the control system 2; the plate feeding device includes a shell 13, a stack door 14, a first motor 15 and a first sliding mechanism 16, after the user places the slat 17 on the slat frame 12, it is placed into the lower part of the shell 13 from the stack door 14, and driven by the first motor 15 through the first sliding mechanism 16 The slat frame 12 is lifted to the upper part of the shell 13 in the vertical direction; the plate taking device includes a gripper 18, a second motor 19 and a second sliding mechanism 20, and the gripper 18 takes the slat frame 12 out of the shell 13 in the horizontal longitudinal direction under the drive of the second motor 19 and the second sliding mechanism 20; the sample loading buffer device includes a sample loading buffer base 21, a third motor 22 and a third sliding mechanism 23, and the slats 17 on the slat frame 12 are horizontally moved to the sample loading buffer base 21 through the mounting plate on the first push rod arm 10, and then the slat frame 12 is driven by the third motor 22 and the third sliding mechanism 23 to make a horizontal and horizontal linear motion on the sample loading buffer base 21 and move to the incubation area 5.

[0039] According to the present invention, the sample buffer base 21 can place at least two groups of slats 17 along the direction from the slat feeding system 4 to the incubation zone 5. Figure 3 Under this setting, after the first group of slats 17 are moved from the slat feeding system 4 to the leftmost side of the sample loading buffer base 21, the sample arm 8 can stay above the leftmost side of the sample loading buffer base 21 to load samples on the first group of slats 17; then, the second group of slats 17 are moved from the slat feeding system 4 to the leftmost side of the sample loading buffer base 21, and at the same time, the first group of slats 17 move to the right, that is, the second group of slats 17 move to the original position of the first group of slats 17, the sample arm 8 loads samples on the second group of slats 17, and the first group of slats 17 move to the right side of the second group of slats 17.

The overall time of the solution of this embodiment is 23*8+(23*16+3*8*3)*n. When n tends to infinity, the limiting flux is 8*8*3600 / (23*16+3*8*3)=523 tests / h.
