SPECIMEN CONTAINING UNIT, SPECIMEN MEASUREMENT CASSETTE, SPECIMEN MEASUREMENT UNIT, AND SPECIMEN MEASUREMENT DEVICE

1 . A specimen-containing unit configured to dip a specimen in a reagent for a reaction with the reagent, comprising:

a body portion rotatable by an external force;

an extension portion formed to extend from one surface of the body portion to a predetermined length in a longitudinal direction; and

a specimen containment portion provided at an end portion of the extension portion and having a containment hole formed therethrough while being maintained at a predetermined angle in the longitudinal direction to contain the specimen due to a capillary phenomenon.

2 . The specimen-containing unit of claim 1 , wherein the extension portion is arranged outside based on the center of one surface of the body portion so that the reagent and the specimen contained in the containment hole are stirred as the specimen containment portion rotates with rotation of the body portion.

3 . The specimen-containing unit of claim 1 , wherein a lower end portion of the specimen containment portion is sharply formed through a lidding foil portion of an accommodation portion containing the reagent so that the specimen is dipped in the reagent.

4 . The specimen-containing unit of claim 1 , wherein a direction of the containment hole corresponds to a tangential direction of an imaginary circle formed by an end portion of the extension portion as the extension portion rotates with rotation of the body portion.

5 . The specimen-containing unit of claim 1 , wherein the specimen-containing unit is formed so that widths of the extension portion and the specimen containment portion correspond to each other.

6 . The specimen-containing unit of claim 1 , wherein the specimen containment portion is formed integrally with the extension portion.

7 . A specimen measurement unit comprising:

the specimen-containing unit defined in any one of claims 1 to 6 ; and

a specimen measurement cassette comprising a first accommodation portion configured to store a first reagent in which the specimen containment portion is dipped to react with the specimen, a second accommodation portion partitioned from the first accommodation portion and configured to store a second reagent, and a measurement portion configured to assay results obtained by reaction of the specimen with the first reagent.

8 . The specimen measurement unit of claim 7 , wherein the measurement portion is configured to accommodate the second reagent after a predetermined time has elapsed, after the first accommodation portion accommodates the specimen reacting with the first reagent.

9 . The specimen measurement unit of claim 7 , wherein the inflow of the first reagent and the second reagent into the measurement portion is implemented by self-loads of the first reagent and the second reagent.

10 . The specimen measurement unit of claim 7 , wherein the first reagent and the second reagent are prevented from flowing outwards by a first foil tap and a second foil tap configured to close bottom surfaces of the first accommodation portion and the second accommodation portion, respectively, and

the first foil tap and the second foil tap are shifted from the bottom surfaces of the first accommodation portion and the second accommodation portion, respectively, by a specimen measurement device having the specimen measurement cassette installed therein to assay results obtained by reaction of the specimen with the first reagent and the second reagent, so that the first reagent and the second reagent flow into the measurement portion.

11 . The specimen measurement unit of claim 10 , wherein each of the first foil tap and the second foil tap is arranged so that one end of each of the first foil tap and the second foil tap is bent toward the other end.

12 . The specimen measurement unit of claim 7 , further comprising an absorption portion disposed under the measurement portion to absorb a mixture of the specimen in which the results obtained by reaction of the specimen with the first reagent are completely assayed.

13 . The specimen measurement unit of claim 7 , wherein the reaction of the specimen with the second reagent is implemented at the measurement portion.

14 . A specimen measurement device comprising:

the specimen measurement unit defined in claim 10 ; and

a specimen measurement body having the specimen measurement cassette installed therein, configured to assay results obtained by reaction of the specimen with the first reagent and the second reagent, and comprising an external force application portion configured to apply an external force to shift the first foil tap and the second foil tap from bottom surfaces of the first accommodation portion and the second accommodation portion, respectively.

15 . The specimen measurement device of claim 14 , wherein the external force application portion applies the external force to one side end of the first foil tap and one side end of the second foil tap, respectively, in opposite directions.

16 . The specimen measurement device of claim 15 , wherein the external force application portion applies a pushing external force to one side end of the first foil tap and applies a pulling external force to one side end of the second foil tap.

17 . The specimen measurement device of claim 14 , wherein each of the first foil tap and the second foil tap is arranged so that one end of each of the first foil tap and the second foil tap is bent toward the other end, and

the external force application portion applies a pulling or pushing external force to the other side ends of the first foil tap and the second foil tap.

18 . The specimen measurement device of claim 14 , wherein the specimen measurement body comprises a rotary force application portion configured to apply a rotary force to rotate the body portion after the specimen containment portion is dipped in the first reagent.
