Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fluorescence detection, and in particular to a single-channel fluorescence immunoassay analyzer. Background Technology

[0002] Fluorescence immunochromatography (FIC) is a novel membrane detection technology based on antigen-antibody specific immune reactions. This method is characterized by its specificity, simplicity, and speed, and is widely used in important fields such as clinical diagnosis, environmental monitoring, and food safety. Currently, there are many types of FIC analyzers on the market, which can be categorized into single-channel, handheld, multi-channel, and fully automated FIC analyzers. Different types of instruments can be selected depending on the application scenario, but the detection principle remains the same: they all use emitted light to excite fluorescent substances and collect the fluorescence signal emitted by the substances. The magnitude of the fluorescence signal reflects the concentration of the detected substance in the sample, providing diagnostic information for doctors in IVD clinical diagnosis.

[0003] In existing detection optical paths, the excitation spot is generally circular and does not completely cover the detection lines on the reagent card. Therefore, the detected signal value is only a portion of the sample's signal value. If the excitation spot completely covers the detection lines, although the signal value increases, the background noise also increases accordingly, and the detection sensitivity cannot be significantly improved. Even if some methods use rectangular excitation spots to reduce background noise, these rectangular spots are formed through physical obstruction. When acquiring signal values, the acquisition aperture is a rectangular strip, which greatly reduces the signal entry point and only detects a small portion of the signal value, weakening the acquisition of effective signal values. The drawback of the above solutions is that the excitation and reception efficiency are greatly reduced, and the optimal signal-to-noise ratio cannot be achieved during acquisition.

[0030] The following is for reference. Figures 1 to 5 The present invention will be further described below:

[0031] A single-channel fluorescence immunoassay analyzer, characterized in that it comprises: a detection device 01, a housing, a switch button 04, and a display screen 05, wherein the housing has a receiving cavity, the detection device 01 is installed in the receiving cavity of the housing, and the display screen 05 is installed on the top of the housing;

[0032] In this embodiment, the housing includes an outer shell and an inner shell 03. The inner shell 03 has an internal accommodating space.

The left light box housing 1121 and the right light box housing 1122 cooperate to form an accommodating space. An LED light panel 1123 is arranged inside the accommodating space to provide excitation light for detection. A first plano-convex lens 1125 and a dichroic mirror 1127 are arranged sequentially on one side of the lower end of the LED light panel 1123. A second plano-convex lens 1126 is arranged below the dichroic mirror 1127. A third plano-convex lens 1128 is arranged above the dichroic mirror 1127. A filter 1129 is arranged above the third plano-convex lens 1128. A receiving plate assembly 1124 is arranged above the filter 1129.

[0035] The diameter of the second plano-convex lens 1126 is larger than the diameter of the plano-convex cylindrical lens 1104.

[0036] The substrate 103 is used to support the components. The substrate 103 is connected to the optical box detection component 112, as well as the lead screw stepper motor 104, the motor mounting base 105, the linear guide rail 106, the zero-point reset photoelectric sensor 109, the reagent card compartment component 110, the detection component sheet metal 111, the barcode scanning module 113, and the reader / writer 114.

[0037] In this embodiment, a plurality of motherboard fixing posts 102 are also provided on the substrate 103, and a main control board 101 is provided above the plurality of motherboard fixing posts 102.

[0038] In this embodiment, the reagent card compartment assembly 110 includes a card compartment base 1101, a card compartment cover 1102, a lens cover 1103, and a plano-convex cylindrical mirror 1104. The card compartment base 1101 is fixedly connected to the linear guide rail 106. The card compartment cover 1102 is connected to the upper end of the card compartment base 1101 and cooperates with the card compartment base 1101 to form a receiving space for placing the reagent card 115. The plano-convex cylindrical mirror 1104 is provided on the side of the card compartment cover 1102 near the card compartment base 1101, and the lens cover 1103 is connected to the side of the card compartment cover 1102 away from the card compartment base 1101.

[0039] The testing device includes the following functions: a reader / writer 114 reads the standard curve of the reagent kit; a barcode scanning module 113 automatically identifies different items on the reagent card 115; a reagent card compartment assembly 110 loads the reagent cards and provides a darkroom testing environment, while also optimizing the optical path in conjunction with the optical box detection assembly 112; a lead screw stepper motor 104, a linear guide rail 106, and a zero-point reset photoelectric sensor 109 work together with the reagent card compartment assembly 110 to achieve high-precision and stable operation of the reagent cards; a battery 107 enables the instrument to be used for portable testing; and the left and right housings of the optical box 1121 and 1122 serve as the fixing carriers and encapsulation for the internal components.

[0040] LED light panel 1123 provides excitation light for detection; first plano-convex lens 1125, second plano-convex lens 1126 and third plano-convex lens 1128 together correct the optical path; dichroic mirror 1127 distinguishes and isolates excitation light and fluorescence; filter 1129 filters out stray light and reduces background noise; receiver assembly 1124 is used to receive fluorescence signal.

[0041] In the optical path, a plano-convex cylindrical mirror 1104 is used to focus and optimize the circular excitation light spot emitted by the photocell detection component into a highly efficient rectangular light spot, which perfectly covers the detection line area in the reagent card. This effectively reduces the area of ​​the light spot illuminating areas other than the detection line area, thus minimizing the area with high background noise. At the same time, when receiving signals, the plano-convex cylindrical mirror 1104 also maximizes the reception of fluorescence signals, greatly improving the signal-to-noise ratio of fluorescence acquisition.

[0042] In this embodiment, foot pads 09 and 03 are also included. The foot pads 03 are rectangularly distributed on the bottom surface of the lower housing 02. They can prevent tabletops and other surfaces from being worn due to long-term friction with the lower housing 02, and also provide some support.

[0043] In this embodiment, a micro printer 07 is also installed on the upper housing 06.

[0044] In this embodiment, a battery 107 is also provided on the substrate 103. The battery 107 is fixed to the substrate 103 by a battery fixing housing 108 and is used to power the components of the single-channel fluorescence immunoassay analyzer.

[0045] During testing, the reagent card 115 is placed in the sample application port, and then inserted into the instrument's reagent card compartment. The "Test" button is then clicked on the display screen 05. The lead screw stepper motor 104 drives the reagent card compartment assembly 110 into the instrument. The barcode scanning module 113 automatically identifies the test items on the reagent card 115. The reagent card 115 continues to move into the instrument. When the test line moves near the second plano-convex lens 1126 of the optical box detection assembly 112, the instrument acquires a signal. The test stops when the reagent card compartment assembly 110 moves to the zero-point reset photoelectric sensor 109. Then, the reagent card compartment assembly 110 reverses its movement, and the reagent card 115 exits from the instrument's port. The display screen 05 shows the test results. A test report can be randomly printed using the micro printer 07. Finally, the reagent card 115 is removed, completing the test.

[0046] This application achieves a high degree of integration of multi-functional modules, including sample information entry, reagent kit information entry, standard curve recognition and entry, one-click detection results, detection completion report printing, and rechargeability.
