Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of sample detection, in particular to a health monitoring test strip for sanitary products. Background Art

[0002] Colloidal gold test strips are widely used in daily life and experiments, and can quickly and easily perform semi-quantitative testing of biochemical indicators. Conventional colloidal gold test strips are mainly composed of five parts: a hard PET / PE base, absorbent paper, an NC membrane, a colloidal gold binding pad, and an absorption pad. In the design of the test strips, the sample collection area should be able to quickly absorb and transfer liquid samples, and have no effect on the components of the liquid sample to be tested; for the sample absorption part, it is required to have a strong ability to absorb and fix liquid samples. Since test strips are often used for rapid on-site testing such as clinical diagnosis, environmental monitoring, and food safety testing, in order to facilitate picking up or fixing, the bottom layer of the test strips is often made of relatively hard materials such as PVC. As for the shape of the test strips, considering simplicity and cost, the "I" shape is often used.

[0003] In recent years, with the advancement of medical technology and the improvement of health awareness, people have a growing demand for portable detection of physiological indicators, and more and more hygiene products with health monitoring functions have begun to appear. Among them, human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), luteinizing hormone (LH), Streptococcus gonorrhea, Chlamydia trachomatis, Ureaplasma urealyticum, human papillomavirus, and herpes simplex virus in vaginal secretions or urine are common detection indicators. Prior art CN110013383A directly connects pregnancy test strips and ovulation test strips prepared by the colloidal gold method to female hygiene products for monitoring early pregnancy and ovulation; CN219289926U connects a pregnancy test strip set and a STD test strip set to a panty liner to obtain a product that can both test for pregnancy and detect STDs; WO2024084726A1 and WO2024085240A1 connect luteinizing hormone LH test strips (WO2024085239A1) to fabrics and absorbent articles for monitoring female ovulation. The test strips used in these products are still traditional long "I" shapes. When connected to daily wearable hygiene products, they face the problem of sample collection difficulties caused by the narrow sample collection area and the strong foreign body sensation caused by the excessive thickness of the sample collection pad and the sample absorption pad, which hinders the development of the health monitoring hygiene product market. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a test strip that is designed based on the demand for high wearing comfort of daily necessities and is overall lighter, thinner, more convenient to sample, and has high detection sensitivity.

[0021] Example 1

[0022] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the present invention provides an early pregnancy test strip for use in sanitary products. The strip comprises, from top to bottom, a waterproof top layer, a composite layer, and a waterproof bottom layer. The composite layer comprises a sample collection pad, a colloidal gold binding pad, a chromogenic film, and a sample absorption pad, which are arranged and fixed to the waterproof bottom layer with an overlap of 1.5 mm. Above the composite layer is a waterproof top layer, which completely covers the colloidal gold binding pad, the chromogenic film, and the sample absorption pad, leaving the sample collection pad uncovered. The chromogenic film is provided with a test line (T) and a quality control line (C).

[0023] The sample collection pad is made of polyester fiber film with a thickness of 0.1mm; the waterproof top layer and waterproof bottom layer are both made of PET with a thickness of 0.03mm.

[0024] The sample collection pad and the sample absorption pad have the same width of 1.5 cm; the sample collection pad is 0.7 cm long, 0.1 mm thick, and has a water absorption capacity of 200 g / m 2 The sample absorption pad is 1.3 cm long, 0.1 mm thick, and weighs 40 g / m 2 , water absorption is 500g / m 2 .

[0025] The colloidal gold binding pad and the color developing film have the same width of 0.3 cm; the colloidal gold binding pad is 0.5 cm long and 0.2 mm thick; the color developing film is 2 cm long and 0.2 mm thick.

[0026] The colloidal gold binding pad contains a complex of colloidal gold and mouse anti-β-HCG monoclonal antibody, and the diameter of the colloidal gold used is 20 nm.

[0027] The colorimetric membrane is made of a nitrocellulose membrane with a length of 2 cm and a width of 0.3 cm. The upper surface of the colorimetric membrane is coated with a rabbit anti-β-HCG polyclonal antibody detection line T line and a goat anti-mouse IgG antibody quality control line C line. The upper surface of the colorimetric membrane is provided with a detection line T line at the 0.7 cm end close to the colloidal gold binding pad, and a quality control line C line at the 0.8 cm end close to the sample absorption pad.

[0028] The overall length of the test strip is 4 cm; the overall thickness of the test strip is 0.4 mm.

[0029] The specific usage and function of this embodiment are as follows: the test strip can be used alone or after being connected to a sanitary product. Female vaginal secretions or urine pass through the sample collection pad (21), and under the action of capillary siphon, move to the colloidal gold binding pad (22) and bind to the colloidal gold coated with mouse anti-β-HCG monoclonal antibody, and then move to the color developing film (23), and pass through the detection line (231) and the quality control line (232) in sequence. When the sample solution binds to the rabbit anti-β-HCG polyclonal antibody in the detection line (231), the detection line develops color; when the sample solution binds to the goat anti-mouse IgG antibody in the quality control line (232), the quality control line (232) develops color. By judging whether the detection line (231) and the quality control line (232) are highlighted, it can be identified whether the sample contains a high concentration of HCG. The use is very convenient and convenient for the general public to detect early pregnancy.

[0030] When used after being connected to sanitary products, the test strip has a sample collection pad and sample absorption pad with an enlarged but thinned area, which can improve the fit between the test strip and the sanitary product, and solve the problems of high hardness and strong foreign body sensation caused by the large thickness of the sample collection pad and sample absorption pad of the common "I"-shaped test strip; in addition, the enlarged area of ​​the sample collection pad improves the capture rate of the sample pad for liquid samples, which helps to reduce invalid and false-negative test results.

[0031] Example 2

[0032] The structures of various parts of this embodiment are the same as those of Example 1, except that the antibody bound to the colloidal gold on the colloidal gold binding pad is a mouse anti-LH monoclonal antibody; the antibody coated on the T line on the color developing membrane is a rabbit anti-LH polyclonal antibody, and the test strip is used to monitor the ovulation period.

[0033] The specific usage and function of this embodiment: The test strip can be used alone or after being connected to sanitary products. Female vaginal secretions or urine pass through the sample collection pad (21), and under the action of capillary siphon, move to the colloidal gold binding pad (22) and combine with the colloidal gold coated with antibodies, and then move to the color film (23), passing through the detection line (231) and the quality control line (232) in sequence. When the sample solution binds to the polyclonal antibody in the detection line (231), the detection line develops color; when the sample solution binds to the goat anti-mouse IgG antibody in the quality control line (232), the quality control line (232) develops color. The subject starts the test from the first day of menstruation, and selects a fixed time for measurement every day. When both the detection line (231) and the quality control line (232) show color, it is the ovulation period, which can be used to determine the best time for conception.

[0034] When used after being connected to sanitary products, the test strip has a sample collection pad and sample absorption pad with an enlarged but thinned area, which can improve the fit between the test strip and the sanitary product, and solve the problems of high hardness and strong foreign body sensation caused by the large thickness of the sample collection pad and sample absorption pad of the common "I"-shaped test strip; in addition, the enlarged area of ​​the sample collection pad improves the capture rate of the sample pad for liquid samples, which helps to reduce invalid and false-negative test results.

[0035] Example 3

[0036] The structure of this embodiment is similar to that of Example 1, except that the test strip is used for STD detection. Depending on the disease type, the antibody bound to the colloidal gold on the colloidal gold conjugate pad is one of the mouse monoclonal antibodies against Streptococcus gonorrhoeae, Chlamydia trachomatis, Ureaplasma urealyticum, human papillomavirus, or herpes simplex virus; correspondingly, the antibody coated on the T-line on the colorimetric membrane is one of the rabbit polyclonal antibodies against Streptococcus gonorrhoeae, Chlamydia trachomatis, Ureaplasma urealyticum, human papillomavirus, or herpes simplex virus.

[0037] The specific usage and function of this embodiment are as follows: the test strip can be used alone or after being connected to a sanitary product. Female vaginal secretions or urine pass through the sample collection pad (21), and are moved to the colloidal gold binding pad (22) under the action of capillary siphoning to bind with the colloidal gold coated with antibodies, and then move to the color developing film (23), and pass through the detection line (231) and the quality control line (232) in sequence. When the sample solution binds to the polyclonal antibody in the detection line (231), the detection line develops color; when the sample solution binds to the goat anti-mouse IgG antibody in the quality control line (232), the quality control line (232) develops color. By judging whether the detection line (231) and the quality control line (232) are highlighted, it is possible to identify whether the sample contains sexually transmitted disease pathogens. The use is very convenient and is convenient for the general public to conduct preliminary detection of sexually transmitted diseases.

[0038] The above embodiments are intended only to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art will appreciate that modifications or equivalent substitutions may be made to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and such modifications or equivalent substitutions shall be encompassed by the claims of the present invention.
