Reagent cartridge

Abstract

The present article is a reagent cartridge used, for example, in an analyzer for biochemical or immunological analysis using blood as a sample. A tubular portion on the left side in a front view is a chip containing part for housing multiple chips used to suck samples or reagents. A tubular portion on the right side in the front view is a washing solution containing part for containing a washing solution. The lower ends of the chip containing part and the washing solution containing part are disposed on the same plane, thereby allowing the article to stand independently on these bottom surfaces. A tubular portion located to the left of the washing solution containing part is a sample containing part for containing samples such as blood by dispensing them into the part. A tubular portion located to the left of the sample containing part is an antibody containing part for containing antibodies. A reagent containing part is provided between the chip containing part and the antibody containing part to contain reagents. The fine lines appearing in the Reference front perspective view and the Reference back perspective view represent ridgelines that define the three-dimensional shape of the surfaces. The shaded areas in the Reference front perspective view and the Reference back perspective view represent regions where textured (grained) finishes are applied. The article is made of synthetic resin.
