Abstract

The present invention relates to a system capable of precise analysis without a driving unit for moving light sources, in a system requiring light irradiation from multiple light sources toward a single common focusing point.

Description

An optical system comprising multiple light sources

[0001] The present invention relates to an optical system comprising a plurality of light sources.

[0002]

[0003] The information that can be obtained from the target substance is diverse. For example, if the target substance contains a genome, primers containing specific fluorescent molecules can be used to amplify the genome to determine whether the subject is infected with a disease of interest.

[0004] The process of determining whether or not a disease is present involves irradiating the substance to be analyzed with light of a specific wavelength range that can excite a fluorescent substance, causing the excited fluorescent substance to emit light of a specific wavelength range, and analyzing the emitted light.

[0005] By repeatedly irradiating the target substance with light in a wavelength range that can detect different fluorescent molecules and analyzing the light emitted by the irradiation, the presence of multiple diseases can be determined. However, irradiating the target substance with light multiple times requires moving the light sources, which leads to a long time required to obtain analytical data.

[0006]

[0007] Accordingly, the inventors of the present invention have developed the present invention, which enables rapid analysis by irradiating light of multiple wavelength ranges into a space containing a substance to be analyzed without moving light sources for irradiating light of multiple wavelength ranges.

[0011]

[0012] According to the present invention, in a system requiring light irradiation from a plurality of light sources toward a common focusing point, the purpose is to provide a system capable of precise analysis without moving the light source for irradiating light in a plurality of wavelength ranges.

[0013] In addition, the purpose is to provide a system in which the accuracy of optical analysis is improved, as the wavelength regions of the light irradiated to a common focusing point do not overlap with each other, and the wavelength regions of the light emitted from the common focusing point also do not overlap with each other.

[0014] In addition, even when there are multiple common focusing points in the height direction, the purpose is to provide a system that can elevate a light source to the point and irradiate light of multiple wavelength ranges to the common focusing point.

[0015]

[0016] In order to solve the above problem, one embodiment of the present invention provides an optical module including a first light source, a second light source emitting light of a different wavelength range from the first light source, a first mirror configured to change a first optical path of light emitted from the first light source and spaced apart from the first light source by a first distance, a second mirror configured to change a second optical path of light emitted from the second light source and spaced apart from the second light source by a second distance different from the first distance, and a common mirror arranged on the optical path changed by the first mirror and the second mirror and configured to change the changed optical path so that the changed optical path is directed to a common focusing point, wherein a distance between the first mirror and the common mirror and a distance between the second mirror and the common mirror are different from each other.

[0017] In one embodiment, the device may further include a first filter disposed between the first light source and the first mirror, which filters wavelengths in a region other than the first wavelength range, and a second filter disposed between the second light source and the second mirror, which filters wavelengths in a region other than the second wavelength range that is different from the first wavelength range.

[0018] In one embodiment, the first wavelength region and the second wavelength region may not overlap.

[0019] In one embodiment, as light is irradiated to the common focusing point by the common mirror, the device may further include a sensor that receives light emitted from the common focusing point, and a common filter that is disposed between the common mirror and the sensor and filters wavelengths in a region other than a preset plurality of emission wavelength regions.

[0020] In one embodiment, the multiple emission wavelength regions may be regions that do not overlap with each other.

[0021] In one embodiment, the plurality of emission wavelength regions may be regions that do not overlap with each other and do not overlap with the first wavelength region and the second wavelength region.

[0022] In one embodiment, the device may further include a third light source that emits light in a different wavelength range from the first and second light sources, a fourth light source that emits light in a different wavelength range from the first to third light sources, a third mirror configured to change a third optical path of light emitted from the third light source and spaced apart from the third light source by a third distance different from the first and second distances, and a fourth mirror configured to change a fourth optical path of light emitted from the fourth light source and spaced apart from the fourth light source by a fourth distance different from the first to third distances.

[0023] In one embodiment, the device may further include a third filter disposed between the third light source and the third mirror, which filters wavelengths in a region other than a third wavelength region different from the first and second wavelength regions, and a fourth filter disposed between the fourth light source and the fourth mirror, which filters wavelengths in a region other than a fourth wavelength region different from the first to third wavelength regions.

[0024] In one embodiment, the first light source and the second light source can emit light at the installed locations.

[0025] In one embodiment, there may be no drive motor for moving the first light source and the second light source.

[0026] In addition, the present invention provides an optical system including an optical module according to the above-described clause and an amplification module having a receiving space positioned at the common focusing point, wherein the receiving space receives a dielectric extracted from a sample and a fluorescent material that emits light of a specific wavelength range when excited by a wavelength range emitted from the first light source and the second light source.

[0027] In one embodiment, the method further includes a lifting module for lifting the optical module, and the lifting module may include a motor, a rotational shaft having one end coupled to the motor, and a lifting unit that connects the rotational shaft and the optical module, thereby lifting and lowering the optical module when the rotational shaft rotates.

[0028] In one embodiment, the lifting module may further include a lifting rail for guiding the lifting of the lifting unit and a lifting sensor for detecting the lifting of the lifting unit.

[0029] In addition, the present invention provides an analysis system including the aforementioned optical system, further including a cartridge to which the amplification module is coupled and a casing having an internal space into which the cartridge can be inserted, a barcode including information on a target of sample collection is positioned on an external surface of the cartridge, and a recognition module for recognizing the barcode is positioned on each of the external and internal sides of the casing.

[0030]

[0031] According to the present invention, in a system requiring light irradiation from a plurality of light sources toward a common focusing point, precise analysis is possible without moving the light source to irradiate light in a plurality of wavelength ranges.

[0032] Additionally, the accuracy of optical analysis is improved because the wavelength regions of the light irradiated to the common focusing point do not overlap with each other, and the emission wavelength regions of the light emitted from the common focusing point and received by the sensor also do not overlap with each other.

[0033] Additionally, even if there are multiple common focusing points in the height direction, a light source can be raised to the point to irradiate light of multiple wavelength ranges to the common focusing point.

Furthermore, the terms described below are defined in light of their functions in the embodiments of the present invention and may vary depending on the intent or custom of the user or operator. Therefore, their definitions should be based on the overall content of this specification.

[0045]

[0046] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

[0047] An optical system (1) according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an optical module (10), an amplification module (20), and an elevation module (30).

[0048] Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, an optical module (10) according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a plurality of optical components provided inside a housing (H).

[0049] The plurality of optical components include a light source unit (100), a mirror unit (200), a lens unit (300), a filter unit (400), and a sensor (500).

[0050] The light source unit (100) includes a plurality of light sources (110, 120, 130, 140), and each light source is configured to emit light of a different wavelength range. That is, the first light source (110) emits light of a first wavelength range, the second light source (120) emits light of a second wavelength range, the third light source (130) emits light of a third wavelength range, and the fourth light source (140) emits light of a fourth wavelength range. The first to fourth wavelength ranges may be wavelength ranges that do not overlap each other. In addition, the first wavelength range may be 685 nm to 695 nm, the second wavelength range may be 615 nm to 635 nm, the third wavelength range may be 540 nm to 550 nm, and the fourth wavelength range may be 465 nm to 475 nm, but is not particularly limited thereto.

[0051] Meanwhile, the first to fourth wavelength ranges preferably correspond to the excitation wavelength ranges of a plurality of fluorescent substances located in the receiving space, and are not limited to the above-described numerical range. Meanwhile, the plurality of fluorescent substances located in the receiving space include, but are not limited to, FAM, HEX, CY5, and CY5.5, and any fluorescent substance required to perform optical analysis of a specific substance contained in the sample may be applied.

[0052] Meanwhile, as illustrated in FIG. 2, each light source is installed in the housing (H) while being aligned vertically, and more specifically, is installed in the housing (H) while being aligned vertically diagonally. In other words, each light source is installed in the housing (H) at different distances from the front surface (f) of the housing (H). In FIG. 2, the first light source (110) is installed closest to the front surface (f), and the fourth light source (140) is installed so as to be further away from the front surface (f).

[0053]

[0054] First to fourth filters (410, 420, 430, 440) are installed on the optical path of each light source. Each filter is configured to filter a wavelength range other than the wavelength range emitted from the corresponding light source. In other words, the first filter (410) provided at the tip of the first light source (110) filters a wavelength range other than the first wavelength range, allowing only light in the first wavelength range to pass through, thereby increasing the accuracy of the analysis.

[0055]

[0056] First to fourth mirrors (210, 220, 230, 240) are installed at the tips of the first to fourth filters (410, 420, 430, 440). Light emitted from the first to fourth light sources (110, 120, 130, 140) and passing through the first to fourth filters (410, 420, 430, 440) and reaching the first to fourth mirrors (210, 220, 230, 240) has its path changed by the first to fourth mirrors (210, 220, 230, 240). Taking Fig. 2 as an example, the first to fourth mirrors (210, 220, 230, 240) are installed obliquely so as to be inclined toward the first to fourth light sources (110, 120, 130, 140) at the tips of the first to fourth filters (410, 420, 430, 440), and accordingly, the light path can be changed. Fig. 2 illustrates a configuration in which the light path can be changed by 90 degrees so that the light directed toward the front (f) of the housing (H) is directed toward the bottom (b).

[0057] The first to fourth mirrors (210, 220, 230, 240) are configured to change only the path of light incident from a specific direction. More specifically, the first to fourth mirrors (210, 220, 230, 240) change the path of light incident from the rear surface (r) of the housing (H) in which the first to fourth light sources (110, 120, 130, 140) are installed, but pass the light incident from the upper surface of the housing (H) without changing the path. Accordingly, light whose path has been changed by the mirror located above can head toward the common mirror (250) without having its path changed again by the mirror located below it.

[0058]

[0059] A common mirror (250) is installed on the light path changed by the first to fourth mirrors (210, 220, 230, 240). The common mirror (250) changes the light path again so that the light path changed by the first to fourth mirrors (210, 220, 230, 240) is directed toward the receiving space (201) where the substance to be analyzed is received. As an example of Fig. 2, the common mirror (250) is also installed obliquely in the housing (H) like the first to fourth mirrors (210, 220, 230, 240), and thus the light path can be changed. Taking Fig. 2 as an example, a configuration is shown in which the light path can be changed by 90 degrees so that the light directed toward the bottom surface (b) of the housing (H) by the first to fourth mirrors (210, 220, 230, 240) is directed back toward the front surface (f) through the common mirror (250).

[0060]

[0061] The light whose path has been changed by the common mirror (250) is emitted outside the housing (H) through a hole (h) formed on the front (f) side of the housing (H). An amplification module (20) including a receiving space (201) is positioned in front of the emission hole (h), and a substance to be analyzed is received in the receiving space (201). The substance to be analyzed may be a genetic material, and more specifically, may be DNA or RNA, but is not particularly limited thereto as long as it contains genetic information. In addition, it is preferable that the substance to be analyzed received in the receiving space (201) has undergone an amplification process such as PCR in advance.

[0062] The common mirror (250), like the first to fourth mirrors (210, 220, 230, 240), is configured to change only the path of light incident from a specific direction. More specifically, the common mirror (250) changes the path of light incident from the first to fourth mirrors (210, 220, 230, 240), but passes the path of light incident from the front surface (f) of the housing (H) without changing it. Accordingly, as the fluorescent material is excited, the path of light incident through the hole (h) is passed without changing it.

[0063]

[0064] Meanwhile, the sum total of the distances from each light source to the first to fourth mirrors, and the distances from the first to fourth mirrors to the common mirror (250) may all be the same. In other words, the optical path length from the first light source (110) to the common mirror (250), the optical path length from the second light source (120) to the common mirror (250), the optical path length from the third light source (130) to the common mirror (250), and the optical path length from the fourth light source (140) to the common mirror (250) may all be the same. Since the optical path lengths from each light source to the common mirror are provided to be the same, the final focusing point of the light emitted from the light sources installed at different locations can be common to one point (common focusing point) within the receiving space (201), and accordingly, an advantage of being able to acquire consistent data is achieved without a separate driving unit for driving the light sources.

[0065]

[0066] A sensor (500) is placed at the rear end of the common mirror (250), that is, at a portion facing the hole (h) with the common mirror (250) in between. The sensor (500) receives light emitted from a fluorescent material in the receiving space (201), and information on the light received by the sensor (500) is transmitted to a computing device (4) in the form of data. The computing device (4) uses the information on the transmitted light to determine whether the subject from which the analysis target substance was obtained is infected with a disease, whether the target substance exists, etc.

[0067]

[0068] Meanwhile, a common filter (450) is placed between the common mirror (250) and the sensor (500). The common filter (450) is configured to filter wavelengths in a region other than a preset multiple emission wavelength region. The preset multiple emission wavelength region may be a wavelength region different from the first to fourth wavelength regions, but may not overlap with the first to fourth wavelength regions.

[0069] Specifically, the plurality of emission wavelength regions may be wavelength regions emitted by being excited when light of the first to fourth wavelength regions is irradiated to the fluorescent material in the receiving space (201). Referring to FIG. 5, the first emission wavelength region may be a portion of a wavelength region emitted when light of the first wavelength region is irradiated to the first fluorescent material (e.g., CY5.5), which may be 720 nm to 740 nm, the second emission wavelength region may be a portion of a wavelength region emitted when light of the second wavelength region is irradiated to the second fluorescent material (e.g., CY5), which may be 655 nm to 670 nm, the third emission wavelength region may be a portion of a wavelength region emitted when light of the third wavelength region is irradiated to the third fluorescent material (e.g., HEX), and the fourth emission wavelength region may be a portion of a wavelength region emitted when light of the fourth wavelength region is irradiated to the fourth fluorescent material (e.g., FAM), which may be 500 nm to 520 nm, but is not particularly limited thereto. That is, the numerical range of the emission wavelength region varies depending on the type of fluorescent material provided in the receiving space (201).

[0070] The wavelength ranges for excitation of the first to fourth fluorescent substances, and the emission wavelength ranges thereafter, overlap as shown in FIG. 7. Through the configuration of the optical components of the present invention, the first to fourth wavelength ranges that do not overlap each other are irradiated, and as the first to fourth emission wavelength ranges that do not overlap each other reach the sensor (500), interference due to the overlapping wavelength ranges does not occur, thereby improving the accuracy of the analysis.

[0071]

[0072] Meanwhile, the optical module according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a lens unit (300), and the lens unit (300) includes a first lens (310) disposed between the first to fourth mirrors and the common mirror, a second lens (320) disposed between the common mirror and the receiving space, and a third lens (330) disposed between the common mirror and the common filter.

[0073] The first to third lenses may be provided in the form of convex lenses, and serve to increase the excitation efficiency and analysis efficiency by focusing the incident light.

[0074]

[0075] Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, the optical system (1) according to an embodiment of the present invention may include an elevating module (30) that elevates an optical module (10).

[0076] The lifting module (30) may include a motor (301), a rotation shaft (302), an lifting unit (303), an lifting rail (305), and an lifting sensor (306, 307).

[0077] The motor (301) provides rotational force to the rotation shaft (302) described later.

[0078] The rotation shaft (302) receives power from the motor (301) and rotates. One end of the rotation shaft (302) can be coupled to the motor (301). The rotation shaft (302) can be coupled to the motor (301) through a connecting member (304). The rotation shaft (302) has a screw thread and can be coupled to a nut (303a) to be described later. As another embodiment, the rotation shaft (302) may further include a bearing (not shown) to prevent it from shaking left and right during the rotation process.

[0079] The elevating member (303) is a member that elevates when the rotation shaft (302) rotates. The elevating member (303) is connected to the rotation shaft (302) and the optical module (10) to elevate the optical module (10). Specifically, the elevating member (303) may include a nut (303a) and a nut fixing member (303b). The nut (303a) is coupled to the rotation shaft (302) having a thread formed thereon and is elevated by the rotation of the rotation shaft (302). The nut fixing member (303b) is connected to the optical module (10) and fixes both sides of the nut (303a). Therefore, the elevation of the nut (303a) causes the nut fixing member (303b) to elevate, thereby also elevating the optical module (10). The nut fixing portion (303b) is formed with a protrusion (303c), and the elevation sensor (306, 307) described later can detect the protrusion (303c) to detect the elevation of the elevation portion (303). Meanwhile, the elevation method of the elevation portion (303) is not limited to this, and can be modified and implemented in any way to elevate the optical module (10) using the rotational force of the rotation shaft (302).

[0080] The elevator rail (305) guides the elevator movement of the elevator unit (303).

[0081] The elevation sensors (306, 307) are arranged near the elevation rail (305) to detect the elevation of the elevation unit (303). Specifically, the elevation sensors (306, 307) can detect the elevation of the protrusion (303c). The elevation sensors (306, 307) can include a first elevation sensor (306) located at the top and a second elevation sensor (307) located at the bottom. Specifically, the first elevation sensor (306) and the second elevation sensor (307) are arranged at the top and bottom, respectively, so that light emitted through the hole (h) can be controlled so as not to leave the uppermost receiving space (201a) or the lowermost receiving space (201c) of the amplifying module (20). That is, when the first elevation sensor (306) detects the elevation unit (303), the motor (301) can be operated in the opposite direction to lower the elevation unit (303) so that the light emitted through the hole (h) does not leave the uppermost receiving space (201a) of the amplifying module (20). Conversely, when the second elevation sensor (307) detects the elevation unit (303), the elevation unit (303) can be raised again so that the light emitted through the hole (h) does not leave the lowermost receiving space (201b) of the amplifying module (20). Therefore, the light can sequentially irradiate a plurality of receiving spaces (201) arranged in the height direction.

[0082] An optical system (1) according to an embodiment of the present invention can be provided inside an analysis system (2).

[0083] The amplification module (20), which is the target of the light emitted from the optical module (10), is inserted into the cartridge (C). The cartridge (C) can be applied with the configuration of Korean Patent No. 2346703 by the applicant of the present invention, and is incorporated in its entirety into the present invention.

[0084] As illustrated in Fig. 5, a barcode (B) is printed on one side of the cartridge (C). The barcode (B) includes information related to the target from which the analysis target substance introduced into the cartridge (C) was obtained (e.g., a unique ID for identifying the target, etc.).

[0085] Meanwhile, the cartridge (C) can be inserted into the casing (3), and the analysis system (2) includes at least one recognition module capable of recognizing a barcode (B). The at least one recognition module includes a first recognition module (I1) and a second recognition module (I2), wherein the first recognition module (I1) is provided outside the casing (3) and performs barcode (B) recognition before the cartridge (C) is inserted into the casing (3), and the second recognition module (I2) is provided inside the casing (3) and performs barcode (B) recognition after the cartridge (C) is inserted into the casing (3). Since the recognition of the barcode (B) printed on the cartridge (C) inserted into the casing (3) is enabled by the second recognition module (I2), real-time monitoring is possible in a computer device (4) that is connected to the optical system (1) and the analysis system (2) in communication.

Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be defined by the claims.
