Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of PMT photometry technology, specifically to a PMT photometry device. Background Technology

[0002] Chemiluminescence immunoassay is an immunological detection method based on the principle of chemiluminescence. It utilizes a specific chemical reaction to trigger a fluorescence or chemiluminescence reaction to detect target substances. In actual testing, the sample is mixed with an appropriate immunoassay reagent (such as antibodies or antigens) to induce a specific immunoreaction, forming a stable antigen-antibody complex. A chemiluminescent reagent (such as an enzyme-labeled substrate) is then added and activated. When the chemiluminescent reagent binds to the antigen-antibody complex, it triggers a fluorescence or chemiluminescence reaction, generating a luminescent signal. The intensity of the luminescent signal is detected using a detection instrument, such as a PMT (photomultiplier tube), to determine the presence and concentration of the target substance.

[0041] Chemiluminescence immunoassay is an immunological detection method based on the principle of chemiluminescence. It utilizes a specific chemical reaction to trigger a fluorescence or chemiluminescence reaction to detect target substances. In actual testing, the sample is mixed with an appropriate immunoassay reagent (such as antibodies or antigens) to induce a specific immunoreaction, forming a stable antigen-antibody complex. A chemiluminescent reagent (such as an enzyme-labeled substrate) is then added and activated.

[0042] To address the aforementioned problems with PMT (Photometric Measurement) devices, this invention proposes a PMT measurement device.

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, the base 4 has a square structure, while the light shield 3 has a square cylindrical structure. The light shield 3 is connected to the base 4 by bolts. The light metering mechanism 1 is installed on the base 4, and the light shield 3 covers the light metering mechanism 1. A bracket 5 is integrally formed on the base 4. The light metering mechanism 1 includes an optical path component and a motion component. The optical path component is installed on the base 4, and the motion component is installed on the bracket 5. The two are arranged on the left and right sides.

[0045] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2The motion assembly includes a drive wheel 7 and a driven wheel 9 located on one side of the bracket 5. The drive wheel 7 and the driven wheel 9 are arranged one above the other and are located on the side of the bracket 5 facing the optical path assembly. A synchronous belt 8 is sleeved between the drive wheel 7 and the driven wheel 9. The motion assembly also includes a motor 6, which is mounted on one side of the bracket 5. The output end of the motor 6 is connected to the drive wheel 7. The driven wheel 9 is rotatably mounted on the bracket 5. A shutter stop 10 is fixed on one side of the driven wheel 9. The center point of the shutter stop 10 is connected to the driven wheel 9. Multiple round holes are opened on one side of the shutter stop 10.

[0046] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the motion assembly mainly consists of a drive wheel 7, a driven wheel 9, a synchronous belt 8, and a motor 6. The drive wheel 7 and the driven wheel 9 are mounted on one side of the bracket 5, and the synchronous belt 8 is fitted between the drive wheel 7 and the driven wheel 9. The motor 6 is mounted on the other side of the bracket 5. The drive wheel 7 is connected to the output end of the motor 6, and the driven wheel 9 is rotatably connected to one side of the bracket 5. During the rotation of the drive wheel 7 by the motor 6, the driven wheel 9 is also rotated. A shutter stop 10 is connected to one side of the driven wheel 9. The shutter stop 10 is located on one side of the optical path assembly. During the rotation of the shutter stop 10, the circular hole on one side of the shutter stop 10 moves continuously, achieving the effect of rapid opening and closing.

[0047] Please continue reading. Figure 1 and Figure 2 A PMT body 18 is mounted on one side of the bracket 5. The PMT body 18 is located below the driven wheel 9. The output end of the PMT body 18 is set in correspondence with the optical path assembly. The shutter stop 10 moves between the optical path assembly and the PMT body 18.

[0048] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, referring to the above embodiment, the shutter stop 10 is located on one side of the PMT body 18, and the circular hole of the shutter stop 10 is adapted to the PMT body 18. When the circular hole of the shutter stop 10 moves to the corresponding position of the PMT body 18, the PMT body 18 is opened; otherwise, the circular hole rotates and moves open, and the PMT body 18 is closed.

[0049] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3The optical path assembly includes a fixed base 13 connected to the base 4. The interior of the fixed base 13 is a cavity. The bottom and one side of the fixed base 13 are respectively provided with a first through hole and a second through hole, which communicate with the cavity. The reaction cup 2 is inserted into the first through hole. The output end of the PMT body 18 corresponds to the second through hole.

[0050] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the optical path assembly mainly consists of a laser light source 14, a first lens 16, a second lens 17, a semi-transparent mirror 15, and a mounting base 13. First, the sample and reagent in the reaction cup 2 react to generate a light emission signal, which passes through the first lens 16 to the semi-transparent mirror 15. At the same time, the laser light source 14 emits light that passes synchronously through the semi-transparent mirror 15. The two light sources are processed and reflected by the semi-transparent mirror 15 and pass through the second lens 17 to the PMT body 18 for signal acquisition. (When the PMT body 18 acquires the signal, the shutter stop 10 is opened by the motor 6 and closed after the acquisition is completed.)

[0052] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it can prevent the shutter stop 10 from rotating to an inaccurate position, that is, when the optical coupler stop 12 on the synchronous belt 8 moves to the optical coupler body 11, it transmits a signal and shuts off the motor 6.

[0053] When using this invention, the light emitted by the reaction of the sample and reagent in the reaction cup 2 is transmitted through the first lens 16 to the semi-transparent mirror 15. At the same time, the light emitted by the laser light source 14 is transmitted through the semi-transparent mirror 15. The two light sources are processed and reflected by the semi-transparent mirror 15 and transmitted through the second lens 17 to the PMT body 18 for signal acquisition. When the PMT body 18 acquires the signal, the shutter baffle 10 is opened by the motor 6 and closed after the acquisition is completed.
