Device for testing a analyte in a liquid sample
The invention provides a device for detecting an analyte in a liquid sample. The device comprises a receiving chamber for receiving an absorbent element, wherein the absorbent element is used for collecting a liquid sample; and a detection chamber configured to receive a testing element, wherein the testing element is set to test an analyte in a liquid sample, the receiving chamber is provided with a first position and a second position, when the receiving chamber is located at the first position, the receiving chamber is not in fluid communication with the detection chamber, and when the receiving chamber is located at the second position, the receiving chamber is in fluid communication with the detection chamber.
1 . A device for detecting an analyte in a liquid sample, comprising:
a receiving chamber, configured to receive an absorbent element; and
a detection chamber,
wherein the detection chamber is configured to receive a testing element; the testing element is configured to test the analyte in the liquid sample,
wherein the receiving chamber is configured to be movable between a first position and a second position relative to the detection chamber, when the receiving chamber is at the first position, the receiving chamber is not in fluid communication with the detection chamber, and when the receiving chamber is at the second position, the receiving chamber is in fluid communication with the detection chamber, and
wherein the receiving chamber comprises a solution outlet, the detection chamber comprises a solution inlet, and when the receiving chamber is located at the first position, the solution outlet of the receiving chamber is not aligned with the solution inlet of the detection chamber, and when the receiving chamber moves outwardly with the absorbent element to the second position, the solution outlet of the receiving chamber is aligned with the solution inlet of the detection chamber, and the liquid sample in the receiving chamber flows to the detection chamber.
2 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein the receiving chamber comprises a mixed solution.
3 . The device according to claim 2 , wherein the device further comprises a chamber containing the mixed solution, and when the absorbent element is in a process of compression, the mixed solution is allowed to flow from the mixed solution chamber to the receiving chamber to contact the absorbent element.
4 . The device according to claim 3 , wherein the mixed solution chamber is located within the receiving chamber, and the mixed solution chamber is sealed with a puncture-prone film.
5 . The device according to claim 4 , wherein the device further comprises a puncture element, and when the absorbent element is compressed, the absorbent element pushes the puncture element, so that the sealing film is punctured.
6 . The device according to claim 5 , wherein the puncture element is located within the receiving chamber and between the absorbent element and the mixed solution chamber.
7 . The device according to claim 2 , wherein the receiving chamber is sealed when the mixed solution is contained in the receiving chamber.
8 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein the absorbent element is in a state of being uncompressed or compressed within the receiving chamber.
9 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein the device further comprises an accommodating chamber accommodating the receiving chamber, and the receiving chamber is provided with the first position and the second position within the accommodating chamber.
10 . The device according to claim 9 , wherein a sealing element is provided between the receiving chamber and the accommodating chamber so as to prevent the liquid in the receiving chamber from flowing into the accommodating chamber during movement of the receiving chamber.
11 . The device according to claim 10 , wherein the sealing element is located between the solution outlet of the receiving chamber and the solution inlet of the detection chamber.
12 . The device according to claim 11 , wherein the solution inlet of the detection chamber is disposed on a sidewall of the accommodating chamber, and the detection chamber and the accommodating chamber share one sidewall.
13 . The device according to claim 12 , wherein the solution inlet of the detection chamber is located at downstream of the solution outlet of the receiving chamber.
14 . The device according to claim 9 , wherein a distance that the receiving chamber moves from the first position to the second position within the accommodating chamber is fixed.
