[0002] A fully automatic biochemical immunoassay analyzer is a device that performs biochemical and immunoassay tests simultaneously with a single injection. Automated testing is achieved by attaching a reagent card to a holder and then moving the holder to different stations on the analyzer. To accommodate the analyzer, the reagent card is equipped with a sample chamber, a sampling needle holder, a cleaning chamber, a reagent chamber, and a test chamber.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent application number CN208547642U provides a reagent card comprising a card body, the card body being provided with a sample chamber, a sampling needle holder, a cleaning chamber, a reagent chamber, and a detection chamber.

When plasma or serum needs to be tested, the user collects whole blood, separates the whole blood through a centrifuge or filtration device, and then takes the plasma or serum and adds it to the sample chamber of the reagent card, which causes operational inconvenience.

[0004] Therefore, the existing technology has a large room for improvement. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to make up for the deficiencies of the prior art and to provide a reagent card for whole blood separation liquid phase testing.

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solutions:

There is no need to use a centrifugal device or a filtering device to process the whole blood, thereby improving the convenience of operation.

[0009] According to the above solution, the pressurizing device includes a sealing plug arranged in the separation chamber. Through the above structural arrangement, the sealing plug is inserted downward into the separation chamber to compress the air in the separation chamber, thereby increasing the air pressure in the separation chamber and improving the filtration efficiency.

[0011] It is understandable that in some embodiments, a sealing cover may not be provided, and the filter membrane may be fixed in the separation chamber by other means, such as fixing the filter membrane on the bottom of the separation chamber by hot pressing.

[0012] According to the above solution, the sealing plug is connected to the sealing cover via the anti-lost connector. When whole blood is added to the separation chamber, the sealing plug is first pulled out of the sealing cover; since the anti-lost connector connects the sealing plug to the sealing cover, the sealing plug can be prevented from being lost.

[0013] According to the above solution, the bottom of the extraction chamber is provided with a liquid inlet, the liquid outlet is connected to the liquid inlet, and the liquid outlet is horizontally higher than the liquid inlet. This structural arrangement is conducive to improving the efficiency of plasma or serum flowing from the liquid outlet into the extraction chamber.

The siphon channel has a certain hydrophilic effect, and through the siphon effect, the filtered plasma or serum is quickly guided into the extraction chamber.

[0015] According to the above solution, a siphon groove is formed on the bottom surface of the card body, and a sealing film is fixedly attached to the bottom surface of the card body, and the siphon flow channel is formed between the siphon groove and the sealing film. The siphon flow channel is formed by the cooperation between the siphon groove and the sealing film, thereby improving the processing efficiency of the siphon flow channel.

[0016] According to the above solution, the extraction chamber is configured as a cone with a larger upper portion and a smaller lower portion.

[0017] According to the above scheme, the card body is also provided with a TIP head placement rack, a cleaning chamber, a reagent chamber and a detection chamber. The TIP head is placed in the TIP head placement rack, and the side of the detection chamber is formed as a detection surface; the card body is provided with a heat-sealing film for sealing the cleaning chamber, the reagent chamber and the detection chamber.

[0018] According to the above solution, a buckle portion cooperating with the fixing seat is provided on the side of the card body. The buckle portion cooperates with the fixing seat to fix the card body in the fixing seat.

[0019] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0020] The utility model is provided with a whole blood separation structure on the reagent card. When it is necessary to test the plasma or serum, the collected whole blood only needs to be added into the separation chamber. The booster device increases the air pressure in the separation chamber. Under the dual action of gravity and air pressure, the whole blood permeates the filter membrane to obtain plasma or serum. The plasma or serum flows into the extraction chamber through the liquid outlet. There is no need to use a centrifugal device or a filtering device to process the whole blood, thereby improving the convenience of operation. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

There is no need to use a centrifugal device or a filtering device to process the whole blood, thereby improving the convenience of operation.

[0031] Furthermore, the pressurizing device includes a sealing plug 4 provided in the separation chamber 2. Through the above-mentioned structural arrangement, the sealing plug 4 is inserted downward into the separation chamber 2 to compress the air in the separation chamber 2, thereby increasing the air pressure in the separation chamber 2 and improving the filtration efficiency.

[0034] Furthermore, a liquid inlet 31 is provided at the bottom of the extraction chamber 3, the liquid outlet 21 is connected to the liquid inlet 31, and the liquid outlet 21 is horizontally positioned higher than the liquid inlet 31.

[0040] When using the reagent card for whole blood separation liquid phase test of the present invention, the sealing plug 4 is first pulled out from the sealing cover 5, and then the whole blood is added to the separation chamber 2 from the inner hole of the sealing cover 5, and the sealing plug 4 is inserted downward into the inner hole of the sealing cover 5 to compress the air and increase the air pressure in the separation chamber 2. Under the dual effects of gravity and air pressure, the red blood cells in the whole blood remain on the filter membrane 22, while the plasma or serum is filtered by the filter membrane 22 and enters the extraction chamber 3 in sequence through the liquid outlet 21, the siphon flow channel 6, and the liquid inlet 31, thereby realizing whole blood separation; then the buckle portion 12 on the card body 1 is engaged with the fixing seat to fix the reagent card in the fixing seat, and the heat-sealing film 11 is removed from the card body 1; and then the fixing seat is moved to different stations of the fully automatic biochemical immunoassay to realize automated testing.
