Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of in vitro diagnostic equipment, and more specifically to a compact fully automatic immunoassay analyzer. Background Art
[0002] In the field of in vitro diagnosis, immunoassay analyzers have the advantages of high precision, high sensitivity, and wide linear range. They combine chemiluminescence or bioluminescence systems with immune reactions and can be used to detect trace amounts of antigens or antibodies. When used in conjunction with corresponding test reagents, they can perform qualitative or quantitative detection of the analytes in samples such as serum, plasma, and urine.
[0003] At present, there are two development directions for immunoassay analyzers: one is large-scale, which increases the test throughput and has a high degree of automation, but the structure is relatively complex and occupies a large area; the other is miniaturization, which has a small test throughput, a low degree of automation and a low cost. There is no shortage of existing technologies for improving miniaturized immunoassay analyzers to increase their automation and test throughput, but with the increase of integrated functional modules, the size of the whole machine will also increase accordingly. In particular, when the test throughput increases, the overall area occupied by the equipment will increase significantly. Summary of the invention
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a compact fully automatic immunoassay analyzer with high automation and large test throughput but small size of the whole machine.
[0005] The technical solution of the present invention is to provide a compact fully automatic immunoassay analyzer, including a frame, a reaction cup scheduling area is arranged on one side of the frame, and a sample reagent placement area is arranged on the other side, the reaction cup scheduling area is provided with a reaction cup loading module, an incubation module, and a magnetic separation reading module, a reaction cup gripper module is arranged above the reaction cup scheduling area, a sample loading module and a reagent loading module are arranged in the sample reagent placement area, a pipetting module is arranged above the sample reagent placement area, and a distribution plate module is arranged between the reaction cup scheduling area and the sample reagent placement area; reaction cups arranged in a matrix for placing reaction cups are arranged on the reaction cup loading module and the incubation module. The sample loading module is provided with sample tube placement positions arranged in a matrix for placing sample tubes, the reagent loading module is provided with reagent tube placement positions arranged in a matrix for placing reagent tubes, the sample loading module is adjacent to the reagent loading module, the pipetting module is used to collect samples in the sample loading module, collect reagents in the reagent loading module, and transfer the collected samples or reagents to the reaction cups in the distribution tray module.
[0006] Compared with the prior art, the compact fully automatic immunoassay analyzer of the present invention has the following advantages: The cuvette gripper module in the cuvette dispatching area serves as a motion mechanism to uniformly dispatch the cuvettes, including taking out the cuvettes in the cuvette loading module and placing them in the designated position in the distribution tray module, transferring the cuvettes after sample and reagent loading in the distribution tray module to the incubation module for incubation, and transferring the cuvettes after incubation to the magnetic separation reading module for magnetic separation and detection reading; the cuvette loading module and the incubation module are both provided with cuvette placement positions for placing cuvettes arranged in a matrix, so that the cuvette loading module and the incubation module can be set to The rectangular structure facilitates the compact splicing of the reaction cup loading module and the incubation module. The reaction cup placement positions arranged in a matrix are not only conducive to improving the test throughput, but also convenient for positioning and grabbing the reaction cup gripper module. The magnetic separation reading module, the distribution plate module and the incubation module are arranged adjacent to each other, which can not only make the modules in the reaction cup scheduling area compact, but also make the movement range of the reaction cup gripper module as small as possible. The reaction cup gripper module itself is located above other modules in the reaction cup scheduling area, and basically does not occupy any area. All designs minimize the area occupied by the reaction cup scheduling area. The pipetting module in the sample reagent placement area serves as a motion mechanism, collects samples from the sample loading module and pipets them into the reaction cup of the distribution plate module, collects reagents from the reagent loading module and pipets them into the reaction cup of the distribution plate module, and completes the filling of samples and reagents; the sample loading module is provided with sample tube placement positions arranged in a matrix for placing sample test tubes, so that the main structure of the sample loading module can be set as a rectangular structure, and the reagent loading module is provided with reagent tube placement positions arranged in a matrix for placing reagent test tubes, so that the main structure of the reagent loading module can also be set as a rectangular structure, which is convenient for the sample loading module and the reagent loading module to be compactly spliced together, the sample tube placement positions and reagent tube placement positions arranged in a matrix are not only conducive to improving the test throughput, but also convenient for the positioning of the pipetting module to collect samples or reagents, the pipetting module is arranged above the sample reagent placement area, and basically does not occupy an area, so that the area occupied by the sample reagent placement area is minimized; the distribution plate module is arranged between the reaction cup scheduling area and the sample reagent placement area, which also makes the action range of the pipetting module as small as possible; In summary, separating the reaction cup scheduling area from the sample reagent placement area is conducive to allowing the reaction cup gripper module and the pipetting module to move only within their respective areas, with a high degree of automation and a large test throughput. The overlapping areas of their activity ranges are small, and the overall structure is compact and small in size.
[0007] Preferably, the distribution plate module includes a distribution plate bracket, on which a turntable and a turntable motor are provided, on which a reaction cup loading hole for placing a reaction cup is provided, and the turntable motor is used to drive the turntable to rotate so that the reaction cup loading hole enters the reaction cup scheduling area or the sample reagent placement area. With this structure, when the reaction cup gripper module is to operate the reaction cup, the turntable can be rotated to the reaction cup loading hole to enter the reaction cup scheduling area, which is convenient for the reaction cup gripper module to operate; when the liquid transfer module is to transfer liquid into the reaction cup, the turntable can be rotated to the reaction cup loading hole to enter the sample reagent placement area, which is convenient for the liquid transfer module to operate; in this way, the overlapping range of activities of the reaction cup gripper module and the liquid transfer module is basically avoided, making the overall structure more compact.
[0008] Preferably, a reaction liquid mixing motor and a cover plate are provided on the distribution plate support. The reaction liquid mixing motor is located between the reaction cup scheduling area and the sample reagent placement area. The turntable motor is also used to drive the turntable to rotate so that the reaction cup loading hole is located directly above the reaction liquid mixing motor. The reaction liquid mixing motor is used to drive the reaction cup in the reaction cup loading hole to rise and fall repeatedly. The cover plate is located above the turntable and is used to limit the reaction cup in the reaction cup loading hole. With this structure, when the pipetting module completes the filling of samples and reagents into the reaction cup, the turntable can be rotated to directly above the reaction liquid mixing motor, and the liquid in the reaction cup can be shaken and mixed by the action of the mixing motor. At the same time, the cover plate limits the upper end of the reaction cup to prevent the reaction cup from moving upward and detaching from the mixing motor during the shaking process. The cover plate can only cover the area above the mixing motor, not cover other areas of the turntable, and does not affect the loading and filling of samples and reagents into the reaction cup.
[0009] Preferably, a reset sensor is provided on the distribution plate support, and the reset sensor is used to detect whether the reaction cup in the reaction cup loading hole is reset after lifting. With this structure, it is convenient to ensure that the reaction cup is reset after the reaction cup is shaken and mixed, and to prevent the reaction cup from shifting in the vertical direction to interfere with the subsequent rotation of the turntable.
[0010] Preferably, the cover plate is provided with a position-avoiding port and a filling hole, which are respectively located in the reaction cup scheduling area and the sample reagent placement area.

With this structure, the cover plate can always limit the reaction cup during the reaction cup rotating with the turntable, and can also prevent foreign matter from entering the reaction cup. At the same time, the position-avoiding port and the filling hole will not affect the loading and filling of samples and reagents in the reaction cup.
[0011] Preferably, a brush is provided on the distribution plate support, and the brush is located between the reaction cup scheduling area and the sample reagent placement area. When the turntable rotates to make the reaction cup loading hole enter the sample reagent placement area from the reaction cup scheduling area, the brush is used to contact the reaction cup in the reaction cup loading hole to eliminate the static electricity on the reaction cup.

With this structure, the cabin and the refrigeration module are arranged to facilitate the provision of space and temperature required for storing reagents; the refrigeration module is arranged on the lower side of the cabin, which will not increase the floor space of the reagent loading module and is also conducive to rapid temperature adjustment of the reagents in the cabin; the upper cabin plate is arranged to avoid the space in the cabin from being completely exposed to the outside, reduce the entry of foreign matter, and reduce the loss rate of cold in the cabin. The upper cabin plate is provided with reagent through holes arranged in a matrix corresponding to the reagent tube placement positions, which is convenient for the pipetting module to locate and collect reagents.
[0013] Preferably, a refrigeration partition is provided in the cabin below the upper cabin plate, and a partition drive motor connected to the refrigeration partition is provided on the outside of the cabin, and the partition drive motor is used to drive the refrigeration partition to move to block the reagent through-hole.

[0014] Preferably, a reagent mixing motor for shaking the cabin is also provided on the outside of the cabin. With this structure, the cabin can provide regular mixing of heterogeneous reagents.
[0015] Preferably, the magnetic separation reading module integrates a magnetic separation component and a reading component, wherein the magnetic separation component includes an acid filling module, a mixing module, a waste liquid extraction module, a waste liquid needle driving module, a waste liquid needle module, and a cleaning liquid filling module, and the reading component includes a shutter module, a photon counting module, and a shading mechanism.
