Detailed Implementation
[0058] The present application will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be understood that these specific embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present application.
[0059] In this application, the following definitions and methods are provided to better define this application and to guide those skilled in the art in its practice. Unless otherwise stated, the terms are to be understood in accordance with their conventional usage by those skilled in the art.
[0060] As used herein, the term "comprising" should be interpreted as inclusive and open-ended, not exclusive. Specifically, when used in the specification and claims, the term "comprising" and its variations mean including the specified features, steps, or components. These terms should not be construed as excluding the presence of other features, steps, or components.
[0061] As used herein, the term “optional” means that the events or circumstances described below may, but are not required to, occur, including both when they occur and when they do not.
[0062] In this document, the terms "first," "second," "third," and "fourth" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first," "second," "third," or "fourth" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this application, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0063] Wherever a range of values is given herein, the range includes its endpoints, as well as all individual integers and fractions within the range, and also includes each narrower range formed by all the various possible combinations of those endpoints and internal integers and fractions, to form a subgroup of a larger group of values within the same extent as each of those narrower ranges is explicitly given.
[0064] In a first aspect of this application, a chromatography reagent cartridge is provided, with reference to Figures 1-8 The understanding includes: a lower cover 10 and an upper cover 20, the lower cover 10 including a sample pad fitting portion 11; the upper cover 20 and the lower cover 10 are detachably fitted together, and at least one of the upper cover 20 and the lower cover 10 is provided with a reinforcing rib; the upper cover 20 includes a sample feeding hole 21 and a guide groove 22, the sample feeding hole 21 extending through the thickness direction of the upper cover 20; the guide groove 22 communicates with the side of the sample feeding hole 21 facing the lower cover 10, and the orthographic projection of the opening side of the sample feeding hole 21 facing the lower cover 10 and the opening side of the guide groove 22 facing the lower cover 10 on the lower cover 10 is located in the area where the sample pad fitting portion 11 is located.
[0065] The chromatography reagent cartridge of the first aspect of this application has at least the following technical effects: by providing reinforcing ribs on at least one of the upper cover 20 and the lower cover 10, the strength of the chromatography reagent cartridge can be improved, reducing the risk that the performance of the chromatography test strip card will be affected by deformation during its application; in addition, by providing a flow guide groove 22 that communicates with the sample dispensing hole 21, and by ensuring that the orthogonal projection of the sample dispensing hole 21 and the flow guide groove 22 toward the opening side of the lower cover 10 is located in the area where the sample pad fitting part 11 is located, not only can the sample dispensing hole 21 and the flow guide groove 22 be fixed, but also the flow guide groove 22 can be fixed. The position and size of the groove 22 ensure that after the chromatographic reagent cartridge is assembled with the test strip, the sample application hole 21 and the flow channel 22 correspond to the sample pad of the test strip and the size is not larger than the size of the sample pad. It also achieves the purpose of flow guidance and liquid storage. Taking whole blood sample as an example, the flow channel 22 can promote the whole blood sample to fill the entire sample pad during the infiltration process, so that the sample pad can evenly intercept red blood cells and other blood components, and prevent the sample pad from affecting the chromatography effect due to local blockage. This can reduce the risk of problems such as no infiltration, no sample application, and leakage during sample chromatography.
[0066] Understandably, in chromatography reagent cards, to ensure smooth sample loading by moving the sample pad to the absorption pad and reducing the risk of leakage, the opening side of the sample dispensing hole facing the lower cover is designed to directly contact the sample pad, i.e., abut against the sample pad of the test strip. In this application, the sample dispensing hole 21 and the flow guide groove 22 on the side facing the lower cover 10 are also adapted to abut against the sample pad of the test strip. The groove wall of the flow guide groove 22, distributed circumferentially, can reduce the risk of leakage. That is, in the thickness direction of the chromatography reagent card, the depth of the sample pad contact portion 11 is greater than or equal to the distance between the opening side of the sample dispensing hole 21 and the flow guide groove 22 facing the lower cover 10 and the lower cover 10.
[0067] It is understandable that the upper cover 20 and the lower cover 10 can be sealed together by a closing mechanism. In addition, the sample pad contact portion 11 refers to the area where the lower cover 10 and the sample pad of the test strip are directly or indirectly attached after the test strip is assembled on the upper cover 20 and the lower cover 10.
[0068] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to 1. Figure 2 or Figure 3 It is understood that the flow channel 22 can extend along the length of the upper cover 20. This further facilitates sample loading and reduces the risk of sample pad leakage.
[0069] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 1 , Figure 2 or Figure 3 It is understood that, along the length of the top cover 20, the flow guide 22 can be located either on one side of the sample dispensing port 21 or on both sides of the sample dispensing port 21. Compared to having it located on one side of the sample dispensing port 21, having the flow guide 22 on both sides of the sample dispensing port 21, i.e., having a bidirectional flow guide, helps to further reduce the risk of problems such as non-percolation, sample not being dispensed, or leakage during sample chromatography.
[0070] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 1 , Figure 2 or Figure 3 It is understood that the flow channel 22 can be symmetrically arranged along the sample dispensing port 21. For example, the flow channel 22 can be symmetrically arranged along the length and / or width direction of the sample dispensing port 21, or the flow channel 22 can be symmetrically arranged along the center of the sample dispensing port 21. This helps to further reduce the risk of problems such as non-percolation, sample failure, and leakage during sample chromatography.
[0071] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 1 and Figure 9 It is understood that the width of the sample application hole 21 facing the opening of the lower cover 10 and the width of the flow guide groove 22 facing the opening can be smaller than the width of the sample pad fitting portion 11. This further fixes the position and size of the sample application hole 21 and the flow guide groove 22, ensuring that after the chromatography reagent cartridge is assembled with the test strip, the sample application hole 21 and the flow guide groove 22 correspond to the sample pad of the test strip, and their widths are smaller than the width of the sample pad, thereby further reducing the risk of leakage.
[0072] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 1 , Figure 2 or Figure 3 It is understood that the width of the opening side of the guide channel 22 can be equal to the width of the opening side of the sample feeding hole 21 facing the lower cover 10, thereby further reducing the risk of leakage.
[0073] In some embodiments of this application, the depth of the guide channel 22 can be 0.1mm-0.5mm, for example, it can be 0.1mm, 0.12mm, 0.15mm, 0.18mm, 0.2mm, 0.22mm, 0.25mm, 0.28mm, 0.3mm, 0.32mm, 0.35mm, 0.38mm, 0.4mm, 0.42mm, 0.45mm, 0.48mm, 0.5mm, etc., or it can be any range of the above values. This helps to further reduce the risk of problems such as non-percolation, sample failure, and leakage during sample chromatography, resulting in a lower sample failure rate and leakage rate.
[0074] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 1 and Figure 6 It is understood that the reinforcing ribs may include a first reinforcing rib 31 and / or a second reinforcing rib 32. The first reinforcing rib 31 may be located on the side of the upper cover 20 facing the lower cover 10, and the second reinforcing rib 32 may be located on the side of the lower cover 10 facing the upper cover 20. This not only improves the strength of the chromatography reagent card casing and reduces the risk of deformation of the chromatography test strip affecting the performance of the reagent card during application, but also simplifies the surface structure of the chromatography reagent card casing, facilitating the assembly, packaging, and testing of the chromatography reagent cards, such as enabling automated assembly, packaging, and on-machine testing of the chromatography reagent cards.
[0075] In some implementations, reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 or Figure 3 It is understood that the first reinforcing rib 31 may include a first sub-reinforcing rib 31a extending along the length direction of the upper cover 20 and a second sub-reinforcing rib 31b extending along the width direction of the upper cover 20. Thus, the strength of the upper cover 20 can be further improved by the longitudinal and transverse arrangement of the first sub-reinforcing ribs 31a and the second sub-reinforcing ribs 31b.
[0076] In some implementations, reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 or Figure 3 It is understood that the upper cover 20 may include at least two first sub-reinforcing ribs 31a spaced apart along its width direction. Each first sub-reinforcing rib 31a may be connected to a plurality of second sub-reinforcing ribs 31b spaced apart along the length direction of the upper cover 20, and at least some of the second sub-reinforcing ribs 31b are connected to the first sub-reinforcing ribs 31a and extend to the edge of the upper cover 20. This further enhances the strength of the upper cover 20.
[0077] In some implementations, reference Figure 6 , Figure 9 or Figure 10It is understood that the second reinforcing rib 32 may include a third sub-reinforcing rib 32a extending along the length direction of the lower cover 10 and a fourth sub-reinforcing rib 32b extending along the width direction of the lower cover 10. Thus, the strength of the lower cover 10 can be further improved by the longitudinal and transverse arrangement of the third sub-reinforcing rib 32a and the fourth sub-reinforcing rib 32b.
[0078] In some implementations, reference Figure 6 , Figure 9 or Figure 10 It is understood that the lower cover 10 may include at least two third sub-reinforcing ribs 32a spaced apart along its width direction. Each third sub-reinforcing rib 32a may be connected to a plurality of fourth sub-reinforcing ribs 32b spaced apart along the length direction of the lower cover 10, and at least some of the fourth sub-reinforcing ribs 32b are connected to the third sub-reinforcing ribs 32a and extend to the edge of the lower cover 10. Thus, the strength of the lower cover 10 can be further improved by the crisscrossing arrangement of the third sub-reinforcing ribs 32a and the fourth sub-reinforcing ribs 32b.
[0079] In some implementations, reference Figure 9 or Figure 10 It is understood that the sample pad fitting portion 11 can be located between two adjacent third sub-reinforcing ribs 32a. This can further reduce the risk that deformation of the chromatographic reagent, Cayin, will affect its performance.
[0080] In some embodiments of this application, the surface of the sample dispensing orifice 21 can be a polished surface. The smooth surface of the polished surface can reduce friction and facilitate the accurate flow of the sample into the bottom of the dispensing orifice to reach the sample pad.
[0081] In some embodiments of this application, the surface roughness Ra of the sample application orifice 21 can be 0.02 μm to 0.1 μm, for example, it can be 0.02 μm, 0.025 μm, 0.03 μm, 0.035 μm, 0.04 μm, 0.045 μm, 0.05 μm, 0.055 μm, 0.06 μm, 0.065 μm, 0.07 μm, 0.075 μm, 0.08 μm, 0.085 μm, 0.09 μm, 0.095 μm, or 0.1 μm, or a range of any of the above values. This reduces friction and facilitates accurate sample flow into the bottom of the orifice and onto the sample pad.
[0082] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 4 It is understood that the area of the sample dispensing hole 21 facing the opening of the lower cover 10 can be smaller than the area of the sample dispensing hole 21 facing away from the opening of the lower cover 10. This reduces operator errors in sample dispensing. Optionally, the area of the sample dispensing hole 21 can gradually decrease along the direction closer to the lower cover 10, at least a portion of the thickness of the upper cover 20.
[0083] In some embodiments of this application, the size of the sample application hole 21 facing the opening side of the lower cover 10 can be flexibly adjusted according to the size of the sample pad fitting part 11 or the size of the test strip sample pad to meet the position and size requirements of the sample application hole 21.
[0084] In some implementations, reference Figure 9 or Figure 10 It is understood that the length of the sample pad bonding portion 11 can be 10mm-14mm and the width can be 3.4mm-3.6mm. For example, the length of the sample pad bonding portion 11 can be 10mm, 10.5mm, 11mm, 11.5mm, 12mm, 12.5mm, 13mm, 13.5mm or 14mm, or any range of the above values; the width can be 3.4mm, 3.45mm, 3.5mm, 3.55mm or 3.6mm, or any range of the above values.
[0085] Furthermore, in some implementations, reference is made to... Figure 4 It is understood that the length of the sample feeding hole 21 away from the opening side of the lower cover 10 can be 8mm-12mm, and the width can be 8mm-12mm. For example, the length of the sample dispensing hole 21 away from the opening of the lower cover 10 can be 8mm, 8.25mm, 8.5mm, 8.75mm, 9mm, 9.25mm, 9.5mm, 9.75mm, 10mm, 10.25mm, 10.5mm, 10.75mm, 11mm, 11.25mm, 11.5mm, 11.75mm, or 12mm, or any range of the above values; the width can be 8mm, 8.25mm, 8.5mm, 8.75mm, 9mm, 9.25mm, 9.5mm, 9.75mm, 10mm, 10.25mm, 10.5mm, 10.75mm, 11mm, 11.25mm, 11.5mm, 11.75mm, or 12mm, or any range of the above values. This helps to further reduce operator errors in sample dispensing.
[0086] Furthermore, in some implementations, reference is made to... Figure 4It is understood that the length of the sample dispensing hole 21 facing the opening of the lower cover 10 can be 5mm-7.5mm, and the width can be 2mm-3.5mm. For example, the length of the sample dispensing hole 21 facing the opening of the lower cover 10 can be 5mm, 5.25mm, 5.5mm, 5.75mm, 6mm, 6.25mm, 6.5mm, 6.75mm, or 7mm, or any range of the above values; the width can be 8mm, 8.25mm, 8.5mm, 8.75mm, 9mm, 9.25mm, 9.5mm, 9.75mm, 10mm, 10.25mm, 10.5mm, 10.75mm, 11mm, 11.25mm, 11.5mm, 11.75mm, or 12mm, or any range of the above values. This helps to further reduce operator errors in sample dispensing, and lower the sample non-sample rate and leakage rate.
[0087] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 4 It is understood that an information panel 40 can be provided on the side of the upper cover 20 opposite to the lower cover 10, and the information on the information panel 40 can be raised and recessed with the surface of the upper cover 20. In addition to meeting the requirements for gripping and anti-slip, chromatography reagent card cases usually need to display information such as QR codes, project names, and company logos. However, the remaining area of the top cover of the chromatography reagent card case is limited after the sample dispensing port and detection window. By making the information on the information panel 40 raised and recessed with the surface of the upper cover 20, the anti-slip requirements for operators or instruments to grip the reagent card can be met while displaying information such as the company brand, thus achieving both functionality and saving space. Optionally, the height difference between the information on the information bar 40 and the surface of the top cover 20 can be 0.1mm-0.3mm, for example, 0.1mm, 0.12mm, 0.14mm, 0.16mm, 0.18mm, 0.2mm, 0.22mm, 0.24mm, 0.26mm, 0.28mm or 0.3mm, or any range of the above values. This not only meets the anti-slip requirements for gripping, but also takes into account the strength of the top cover and the flatness of the overall structure.
[0088] In some embodiments of this application, an information panel 40 may be provided on the side of the lower cover 10 opposite to the upper cover 20, and the information on the information panel 40 may be raised or lowered with respect to the surface of the lower cover 10. This allows for the display of company brand information while also meeting the anti-slip requirements of operators or instruments for gripping reagent cards, achieving both functionality and space saving. Optionally, the height difference between the information on the information panel 40 and the surface of the lower cover 10 can be 0.1mm-0.3mm, for example, 0.1mm, 0.12mm, 0.14mm, 0.16mm, 0.18mm, 0.2mm, 0.22mm, 0.24mm, 0.26mm, 0.28mm, or 0.3mm, or any range of the above values. This not only meets the anti-slip requirements for gripping but also ensures the strength of the lower cover and the flatness of the overall structure.
[0089] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 4 It is understood that the information on information panel 40 may include, but is not limited to, one or more of the following: text, symbols, graphic logos, QR codes, and barcodes. For example, one or more of the following can be used to display or retrieve information such as project names and company logos.
[0090] In some embodiments of this application, the information on the information bar 40 may be concave. For example, see reference... Figure 4 It is understood that the information panel 40 can be located on the side of the upper cover 20 opposite to the lower cover 10, with the information recessed towards the lower cover 10. This satisfies the need for a non-slip grip and also ensures the flatness of the overall structure of the chromatography reagent card case, facilitating the assembly, packaging, and testing of the chromatography reagent cards. For example, it can facilitate automated assembly, packaging, and on-machine testing of the chromatography reagent cards.
[0091] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 4 It is understood that the information panel 40 can be located on the side of the upper cover 20 opposite to the lower cover 10, and the information on the information panel 40 is concave, with the depth of the concavity of the information on the information panel 40 on the upper cover 20 being 0.1mm-0.3mm. This not only satisfies the need for grip and anti-slip but also ensures the flatness of the overall structure and the strength of the upper cover, while also facilitating the display of information on the information panel.
[0092] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 1 and Figure 9It is understood that the lower cover 10 also includes a nitrocellulose membrane bonding portion 12; the upper cover 20 may include a detection window 23, which extends through the thickness direction of the upper cover 20, and the orthographic projection of the opening side of the detection window 23 facing the lower cover 10 onto the lower cover 10 is located within the area where the nitrocellulose membrane bonding portion 12 is located. This is more conducive to observing or presenting the detection results, such as facilitating the detection of fluorescence signals by fluorescence instruments.
[0093] In some embodiments, the distance from the center of the sample well 21 to the center of the detection window 23 along the length of the top cover 20 can be 20mm-28mm. For example, it can be 20mm, 20.5mm, 21mm, 21.5mm, 22mm, 22.5mm, 23mm, 23.5mm, 24mm, 24.5mm, 25mm, 25.5mm, 26mm, 26.5mm, 27mm, 27.5mm, or 28mm, or any range of the above values. In existing chromatography reagent cards, the distance from the center of the sample well to the center of the detection window is usually controlled at around 34cm. The setting adopted in this application can shorten the distance from the sample well to the nitrocellulose membrane portion of the test strip, and the amount of sample required during the detection process is also smaller. Taking whole blood samples as an example, a smaller sample amount can reduce the accumulation of red blood cells and other blood components in the sample pad, and improve the problem that the sample pad is blocked by a large accumulation of red blood cells and other blood components, which leads to the sample not seeping into the sample well and affecting the chromatography.
[0094] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 1 , Figure 2 or Figure 3 It is understood that the upper cover 20 may also include a pressure rib 24, which may be protruding toward the lower cover 10 and extend along the width direction of the upper cover 20; see reference. Figure 9 It is understood that the lower cover 10 may include a sample pad bonding portion 11, a marker pad bonding portion 13, a nitrocellulose membrane bonding portion 12, and an absorbent pad bonding portion 14, which are sequentially distributed along its length. There is an overlap area 60 between adjacent bonding portions, and the orthogonal projection of the pressure plate 24 onto the lower cover 10 can be located within the overlap area 60. The upper cover, satisfying the above conditions, allows the pressure plate to contact and press against the overlapping areas of the components of the test strip (i.e., sample pad, marker pad, nitrocellulose membrane, absorbent pad, etc.) after the test strip is assembled into the chromatography reagent cartridge. This facilitates tight bonding of the components of the test strip (i.e., sample pad, marker pad, nitrocellulose membrane, absorbent pad, etc.), resulting in more uniform chromatography. It is understood that the marker pad bonding portion 13, the nitrocellulose membrane bonding portion 12, and the absorbent pad bonding portion 14 refer to the areas where the lower cover 10 directly or indirectly adheres to the marker pad, nitrocellulose membrane, and absorbent pad of the test strip after the test strip is assembled into the upper cover 20 and the lower cover 10.
[0095] In some implementations, reference Figure 10It is understood that the lower cover 10 may also include a buffer pad bonding portion 15, which may be located between the marker pad bonding portion 13 and the nitrocellulose membrane bonding portion 12. That is, the lower cover 10 may include a sample pad bonding portion 11, a marker pad bonding portion 13, a buffer pad bonding portion 15, a nitrocellulose membrane bonding portion 12, and an absorbent pad bonding portion 14, which are distributed sequentially along its length. It is understood that the buffer pad bonding portion 15 refers to the area where the lower cover 10 and the test strip buffer pad are directly or indirectly bonded after the upper cover 20 and the lower cover 10 are assembled with the test strip.
[0096] Further, refer to Figure 1-3 and Figure 10 It is understood that the pressure plate 24 may include a first pressure plate 24a. The orthographic projection of the first pressure plate 24a on the lower cover 10 may be located within the overlapping area of the marking pad fitting portion 13 and the buffer pad fitting portion 15. This allows the first pressure plate to contact and press against the overlapping area of the marking pad and buffer pad of the test strip after the test strip is assembled in the chromatography reagent cartridge, promoting more uniform chromatography. And / or,
[0097] Further, refer to Figure 1-3 and Figure 10 It is understood that the pressure bone 24 may include a second pressure bone 24b. The orthographic projection of the second pressure bone 24b on the lower cover 10 may be located in the overlapping area of the buffer pad bonding portion 15 and the nitrocellulose membrane bonding portion 12. This allows the first pressure bone to contact and press against the overlapping area of the test strip buffer pad and the nitrocellulose membrane after the test strip is assembled in the chromatography reagent cartridge, thus promoting more uniform chromatography.
[0098] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 1-3 and Figure 9 It is understood that the upper cover 20 may also include a first pressing pin 25, which may protrude towards the lower cover 10. The orthogonal projection of the first pressing pin 25 on the lower cover 10 may be located in the area where the sample pad fitting portion 11 is located. The upper cover, satisfying the aforementioned conditions, allows the first pressing pin to contact and press against the sample pad of the test strip after the test strip is assembled in the chromatography reagent cartridge, thereby fixing the test strip and ensuring it adheres tightly to the lower cover. This facilitates the even and secure fixing of the test strip components to the lower cover of the cartridge.
[0099] Optionally, refer to Figure 1-3 and Figure 9 It is understood that the first pressure pin 25 may include at least two sub-pressure pins spaced apart along the width direction of the upper cover 20. This further facilitates the flat and secure fixing of the test strip components to the lower cover of the casing.
[0100] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 1-3 and Figure 9It is understood that the upper cover 20 may also include a second pressing pin 26, which may protrude towards the lower cover 10; the lower cover 10 may also include an absorbent pad fitting portion 14, and the orthographic projection of the second pressing pin 26 on the lower cover 10 may be located within the area where the absorbent pad fitting portion 14 is located. The upper cover satisfying the above conditions allows the second pressing pin to contact and press against the absorbent pad of the test strip after the test strip is assembled in the chromatography reagent cartridge, thereby fixing the test strip and promoting its close contact with the lower cover. This facilitates the flat and fixed placement of the test strip components on the lower cover of the cartridge.
[0101] Optionally, refer to Figure 1-3 and Figure 9 It is understood that the upper cover 20 may have multiple rows of second pressure pins 26 on the side facing the lower cover 10. The multiple rows of second pressure pins 26 may be spaced apart along the length of the upper cover 20, and each row of second pressure pins 26 may include at least two sub-pressure pins spaced apart along the width of the upper cover 20. This further facilitates the flat fixing of each component of the test strip to the lower cover of the casing.
[0102] In some implementations, reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 or Figure 3 Understandably, the top cover 20 may include a row of first pressing studs 25 and two rows of second pressing studs 26. The first pressing studs 25 may include two sub-pressing studs spaced apart along the width direction of the top cover 20. The two rows of second pressing studs 26 may be spaced apart along the length direction of the top cover 20, and each row of second pressing studs 26 may include two sub-pressing studs spaced apart along the width direction of the top cover 20.
[0103] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 9 or Figure 10 It is understood that the lower cover 10 may include at least one pair of first limiting pins 16, each pair of first limiting pins 16 being disposed on both sides of the sample pad adhesion portion 11 along the width direction of the lower cover 10 and defining the width of the sample pad adhesion portion 11. Thus, the distance between each pair of first limiting pins can be adjusted according to the width of the test strip, thereby achieving limitation on one side of the sample pad of the test strip in the width direction.
[0104] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 9 or Figure 10 It is understood that the lower cover 10 may include an absorbent pad fitting portion 14 and at least one pair of second limiting pins 17. Each pair of second limiting pins 17 may be disposed on both sides of the absorbent pad fitting portion 17 along the width direction of the lower cover 10 and define the width of the absorbent pad fitting portion 17. Thus, the distance between each pair of second limiting pins can be adjusted according to the width of the test strip, thereby achieving limiting of the absorbent pad on one side of the test strip in the width direction. Optionally, the lower cover may include multiple pairs of second limiting pins 17 spaced apart along its length direction, thereby further improving the limiting effect on the absorbent pad on one side of the test strip in the width direction.
[0105] In some implementations, reference Figure 6 , Figure 9 or Figure 10 It is understood that the lower cover 10 can simultaneously have at least one pair of first limiting pins 16 and at least one pair of second limiting pins 17. This allows for the positioning of both ends of the test strip using the first and second limiting pins. Optionally, on the side of the lower cover 10 facing the upper cover 20, only the first limiting pins 16 and the second limiting pins 17 can be provided to limit the width of the test strip's contact portion. That is, the lower cover can use only the first and second limiting pins to limit the test strip through point contact. Compared to using surface contact to limit the test strip, using the first and second limiting pins on the lower cover through point contact provides better tolerance for the test strip's width and helps reduce the risk of liquid being diverted through the fixed position during chromatography.
[0106] In some implementations, reference Figure 6 , Figure 9 or Figure 10 It is understood that the lower cover 10 may include a pair of first limiting pins 16 and three pairs of second limiting pins 17, and the three pairs of second limiting pins 17 may be spaced apart along the length direction of the lower cover 10. This can further improve the limiting effect on the width direction of the test strip.
[0107] In some embodiments of this application, an opening groove 50 may be provided between the upper cover 20 and the lower cover 10. This facilitates R&D technicians in opening the cover to identify problems with the chromatography test strips.
[0108] In some embodiments of this application, the way the upper cover 20 and the lower cover 10 are detachably fitted is not particularly limited, and those skilled in the art can choose flexibly according to actual needs. For example, refer to...

[0113] Optionally, refer to Figure 4 It is understood that the information bar 40 can be located on the side of the upper cover 20 away from the lower cover 10, and the information on the information bar 40 can be set in a concave shape. The depth of the concavity of the information on the information bar 40 on the upper cover 20 can be 0.1mm-0.3mm.
[0114] Optionally, the distance from the center of the sample application hole 21 to the center of the detection window 23 along the length of the top cover 20 can be 20mm-28mm.

[0120] Experimental Example 1
[0121] A chromatography reagent card includes a test strip and a chromatography reagent card casing.
[0122] The test strip is assembled and fixed inside the chromatography reagent cartridge. The test strip includes a sample pad, a marking pad, a buffer pad, a nitrocellulose membrane, and an absorbent pad arranged sequentially along its length. The sample pad is 10 mm long and 3.5 mm wide.

[0125] The top cover includes: a sample inlet, a flow guide, a detection window, a first reinforcing rib, a first pressure rib, a second pressure rib, a first pressure pin, a second pressure pin, and an information panel. Among these:
[0126] The sample feeding hole extends through the thickness direction of the upper cover and has a polished surface. The outer diameter of the sample feeding hole is larger on the side away from the opening of the lower cover, with a length of 10 mm and a width of 10 mm. The length of the sample feeding hole on the side facing the opening of the lower cover is 5 mm and the width is 2 mm.
[0127] The flow guide groove extends along the length of the upper cover and connects with the side of the sample dispensing hole facing the lower cover. Flow guide grooves are provided on both sides of the sample dispensing hole along the length of the upper cover. The depth of the flow guide groove is 0.4 mm. The width of the flow guide groove is the same as the width of the opening side of the sample dispensing hole facing the lower cover. The orthographic projection of the opening side of the sample dispensing hole and the flow guide groove facing the lower cover on the lower cover is located in the area where the sample pad is attached, and it abuts against the sample pad of the test strip.
[0128] The detection window extends through the thickness direction of the upper cover, and its orthographic projection onto the lower cover's opening side is located within the area where the nitrocellulose membrane is attached; along the length of the upper cover, the distance from the center of the sample application hole to the center of the detection window is 24 mm.
[0129] The first reinforcing rib is positioned to protrude towards the lower cover.
[0130] The first and second pressure bones are protruding towards the lower cover. The orthographic projection of the first pressure bone on the lower cover is located in the overlapping area of the marking pad and the buffer pad, and abuts against the overlapping area on the test strip. The orthographic projection of the second pressure bone on the lower cover is located in the overlapping area of the buffer pad and the nitrocellulose membrane, and abuts against the overlapping area on the test strip.
[0131] The first and second pressure pins are protruding towards the lower cover. The orthographic projection of the first pressure pin on the lower cover is located in the area where the sample pad is attached and abuts against the sample pad of the test strip. The orthographic projection of the second pressure pin on the lower cover is located in the area where the absorbent pad is attached and abuts against the absorbent pad of the test strip.
[0132] The information bar is located on the surface of the upper cover opposite to the lower cover. The information on the information bar is concave and has a depth of 0.2mm. The information on the information bar includes logo information.
[0133] Example 2-11
[0134] The differences between Examples 2-11 and Example 1 are detailed in Table 1.
[0135] Examples 12-15
[0136] The differences between Examples 12-15 and Example 3 are detailed in Table 2.
[0137] Test section:
[0138] Compare the loading and leakage of whole blood samples with different sample well lengths and widths and different flow channel depths.
[0139] (1) The non-sample rejection rate and leakage rate of Examples 1-11 were tested using whole blood samples. The test results are shown in Table 1. Among them:
[0140] "No sample collection" refers to the phenomenon where, after adding a whole blood sample, the liquid does not completely spread across the nitrocellulose membrane and fail to reach the absorbent paper within 8 minutes during the chromatography process from the sample pad to the label pad, then to the buffer pad, the nitrocellulose membrane, and finally the absorbent pad. The no-sample collection rate refers to the percentage of reagent cards exhibiting this phenomenon out of all reagent cards used in the experiment. No sample collection will lead to inaccurate test results.
[0141] Leakage refers to the phenomenon where, 8 minutes after adding a whole blood sample, the liquid flows from the test strip onto the lower cover or into the gap between the test strip and the lower cover when the top and bottom covers of the reagent card are opened. The leakage rate refers to the percentage of reagent cards exhibiting this phenomenon out of all reagent cards used in the experiment. Leakage will lead to inaccurate test results.
[0142] As can be seen from Examples 1-11, when the sample pad is 10mm long and 3.5mm wide, the length and width of the side of the sample application hole facing the lower cover are both narrower than the length and width of the sample pad (adhesive portion). This ensures normal whole blood sample loading without leakage during chromatography. Specifically, a length of 5.5mm and a width of 2.5mm for the side of the sample application hole facing the lower cover results in optimal whole blood sample loading and minimizes leakage. Wider or longer openings are more prone to leakage, while narrower openings are more likely to result in no sample loading. Therefore, a length of 5.5mm and a width of 2.5mm for the side of the sample application hole facing the lower cover is preferred.
[0143] Table 1. Differences between Examples 1-11 and related test results
[0144]
[0145] (2) Whole blood samples were used to test the non-sample rate, leakage rate, and red blood cell coating rate in Examples 3, 12-15. The test results are shown in Table 2. Among them:
[0146] Red blood cell adhesion refers to the phenomenon where, 8 minutes after the addition of a whole blood sample, red blood cells are observed to have migrated onto a nitrocellulose membrane through the detection window. The red blood cell adhesion rate refers to the percentage of reagent cards exhibiting this phenomenon out of all reagent cards used in the experiment. Red blood cell adhesion can lead to inaccurate testing.
[0147] Table 2. Differences between Examples 12-15 and Example 3, and related test results.
[0148] project Depth of the guide channel (mm) Non-sample rate Leakage rate Red blood cell membrane coverage Example 12 0.1 1.8% 30.8% 0.0% Example 13 0.2 1.5% 25.6% 0.0% Example 14 0.3 0.0% 7.2% 0.0% Example 3 0.4 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% Example 15 0.5 1.5% 0.0% 5.4%
[0149] As can be seen from Examples 3 and 12-15, when the depth of the flow channel is 0.4 mm, whole blood samples are loaded normally, there is no leakage during chromatography, and red blood cells do not adhere to the membrane. Therefore, a flow channel depth of 0.4 mm is preferred.
[0150] The present application has been described in detail above with general descriptions and specific embodiments. However, modifications or improvements can be made to it, and it can be combined arbitrarily as needed, which is obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, all such modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of the present application fall within the scope of protection claimed in this application.
