Abstract

Provided is an inspection kit that proper inspection can be performed even if a tester drips a remainder of sample. The inspection kit includes: a reagent device having a sample-dripping part, the reagent device being capable of making a sample dripped on the sample-dripping part flow in a first direction from an upstream side toward a downstream side; and a case surrounding the reagent device. A liquid-absorbing part is provided with a portion near the sample-dripping part of the case, the liquid-absorbing part guiding, according to capillary action, the remainder of the sample in a second direction differing from the first direction.

Claims (16)

1. An inspection kit, comprising:

a reagent device having a sample-dripping part, the reagent device being capable of making a sample dripped on the sample-dripping part flow in a first direction from an upstream side toward a downstream side; and

a case surrounding the reagent device,

wherein: a liquid-absorbing part is provided with a portion near the sample-dripping part of the case, the liquid-absorbing part guiding, according to capillary action, a remainder of the sample in a second direction differing from the first direction in a same horizontal section; and

the liquid-absorbing part includes a plurality of slits being alternately arranged.

2. The inspection kit as defined in claim 1 , wherein the second direction intersects the first direction.

3. The inspection kit as defined in claim 2 , wherein the second direction orthogonally intersects the first direction.

4. The inspection kit as defined in claim 1 , wherein the first direction and the second direction are opposite to each other.

5. The inspection kit as defined in claim 1 , wherein the case includes:

an upper case surrounding an upper part of the reagent device; and

a lower case surrounding a lower part of the reagent device.

6. The inspection kit as defined in claim 5 , wherein:

the case further includes an intermediate plate located between the upper case and the lower case; and

the intermediate plate includes:

a first sensitizer pot storing first sensitizer containing a reducing agent therein; and

a second sensitizer pot storing second sensitizer containing silver ion liquid therein.
