Abstract

An analysis cartridge and an analysis system thereof are disclosed. The analysis cartridge comprises a cartridge body, a liquid storage box and a sealing film. The cartridge body has an accommodation portion. The liquid storage box is disposed within the accommodation portion and has a liquid storage tank and a pillar receiving hole. The sealing film covers the pillar receiving hole and seals an opening of the liquid storage tank.

Claims (25)

1. An analysis cartridge, comprising:

a cartridge body having an accommodation portion;

a liquid storage box disposed within the accommodation portion and having a liquid storage tank and a pillar receiving hole; and

a sealing film covering the pillar receiving hole at a first level corresponding to an upper end of the tank and at a lower, second level vertically spaced from the first level, and

sealing an opening of the liquid storage tank.

2. The analysis cartridge according to claim 1 , wherein the accommodation portion comprises a through hole corresponding to the pillar receiving hole of the liquid storage box.

3. The analysis cartridge according to claim 1 , wherein a bottom of the liquid storage box faces the inside of the accommodation portion.

4. The analysis cartridge according to claim 1 , wherein an opening of the liquid storage tank of the liquid storage box faces the inside of the accommodation portion.

5. The analysis cartridge according to claim 1 , wherein the cartridge body has a liquid channel and a reaction chamber, and the liquid channel interconnects the reaction chamber with the accommodation portion of the cartridge body.

6. The analysis cartridge according to claim 1 , wherein a terminal of the sealing film is fixed on an opening of the liquid storage tank of the liquid storage box while another terminal of the sealing film is fixed on the bottom of the liquid storage box.

7. The analysis cartridge according to claim 1 , wherein the sealing film has two terminals, and the terminals of the sealing film are fixed on the same side or on the opposite sides of the said liquid storage box.

8. The analysis cartridge according to claim 1 , wherein a width of the sealing film is smaller than an inner diameter of the pillar receiving hole.

9. An analysis system, comprising:

an analysis cartridge, comprising:

a cartridge body having an accommodation portion;

a liquid storage box disposed within the accommodation portion and having a liquid storage tank and a pillar receiving hole; and

a sealing film covering the pillar receiving hole at a first level corresponding to an upper end of the tank and at a lower, second level vertically spaced from the first level, and sealing an opening of the liquid storage tank; and

an analyzer comprising a supporting base and a protrudent pillar disposed on the supporting base;

wherein, during operating the analysis cartridge on the supporting base, the protrudent pillar pushes the sealing film into the pillar receiving hole and pulls the sealing film to expose the opening of the liquid storage tank.

10. The analysis system according to claim 9 , wherein a width of the sealing film is smaller than an inner diameter of the pillar receiving hole, and an outer diameter of the protrudent pillar ranges between the inner diameter of the pillar receiving hole and the width of the sealing film.

11. The analysis system according to claim 9 , wherein the sum of the outer diameter of the protrudent pillar and two times of the thickness of the sealing film is smaller than or equal to the inner diameter of the pillar receiving hole.

12. The analysis system according to claim 9 , wherein the accommodation portion comprises a through hole corresponding to the pillar receiving hole of the liquid storage box.

13. The analysis system according to claim 9 , wherein a bottom of the liquid storage box faces the inside of the accommodation portion.

14. The analysis system according to claim 9 , wherein an opening of the liquid storage tank of the liquid storage box faces the inside of the accommodation portion.

15. The analysis system according to claim 9 , wherein a terminal of the sealing film is fixed on an opening of the liquid storage tank of the liquid storage box while another terminal of the sealing film is fixed on the bottom of the liquid storage box.
