Definitions
- the invention relates to a measuring device for the optical examination of an in particular diagnostic test element with a light source, a photodetector and a device for positioning the test element in a beam path between the light source and the photodetector.
- Analysis systems of this type are used in medical diagnostics in order to optically examine disposable test strips to which an analyte is applied, for example for color changes.
- the photometric setup required for this in a measurement module that can be used by the test subject himself, if necessary, requires precise alignment of the individual components in order to achieve the desired performance.
- the light source, optics and detector are usually assembled as discrete individual components using so-called "pick-and-place" methods in large quantities. This is only possible with limited accuracy and reproducibility, and the more complex the smaller the components and the available optical size or focal length are.
- OLEDs organic light-emitting diodes
- the object of the invention is to improve a measuring device of the type mentioned at the outset, in particular in order to achieve a simple, compact design with high manufacturing and measuring precision.
- the combination of features specified in claim 1 is proposed.
- the invention is based on the idea of creating a solid combination of lighting source, optics and / or detector. Accordingly, it is proposed according to the invention that the light source has one or more organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and the OLEDs form a composite structure with imaging optics and / or the photodetector via a carrier substrate.
- OLEDs organic light-emitting diodes
- OLEDs offer a variety of advantages such as high luminosity with relatively low energy consumption, wide viewing angles, potentially low manufacturing costs and reduction in material costs and a production process for the production of photometric modules for analysis devices that can be automated on a large scale.
- a large number of OLEDs are advantageously arranged on the carrier substrate as a one- or two-dimensional luminous pixel array. It is possible that the OLEDs have emission wavelength ranges that are different from one another and / or are preferably aligned in a raster shape to different illumination target areas. In this way, spatially resolved lighting can be carried out in order to limit the target area, for example in the case of microscopic sample quantities, or to enable additional evaluations.
- the OLEDs can be constructed in one-dimensional compactness from two electrode layers and an electroluminescent luminescent layer that is sandwiched therebetween, preferably formed from a polymer material.
- a pixel size of less than 500 ⁇ m, preferably less than 200 ⁇ m can be achieved.
- the OLEDs have a transparent front electrode layer adjoining the substrate for irradiating light through the substrate and a back electrode layer facing away from it.
- the front or back electrode layer can be formed or contacted together for all OLEDs, while a separate control of individual pixels is possible via a respective opposite individual electrode.
- the imaging optics advantageously have at least one optical lens for imaging the light source on a target surface of the test element and / or a target surface of the test element on the photodetector.
- the imaging optics have a multiplicity of microstructured, preferably aspherical lens units in a flat arrangement.
- the imaging optics are advantageously formed by a lens structure molded on the carrier substrate, in particular by embossing.
- the imaging optics it is also possible for the imaging optics to be formed by a film material, preferably polymer-based, which is preformed as a lens structure, in particular by embossing (hot or injection embossing), injection molding or reaction molding, and is connected flat to the carrier substrate.
- a compact structure with a favorable beam path is achieved in that the OLEDs are arranged on one side and the imaging optics are arranged on the opposite side of the carrier substrate.
- the carrier substrate should consist of a transparent flat material, in particular a thin glass or a polymer film.
- the photodetector is formed by at least one layered organic photodiode. This enables a further improvement in the positioning of the optical components to be achieved, the layer deposition of the light emitter and receiver also bringing particular advantages in the sense of integrated production.
- a multiplicity of organic photodiodes are advantageously arranged on the carrier substrate as a linear or planar sensor pixel array in order to enable spatially resolved scanning.
- the positioning device comprises a holder, a guide or a stop for the test element.
- the positioning device can also include a test element receptacle that can be moved between a loading point and a measuring point.
- the surface of the OLEDs is shielded from the environment in a material-tight manner, in particular by means of a coating or a housing.
- test element is formed by a test strip, for example a glucose test strip, which is provided with optically scanned indicator fields for biological substances to be detected and is in particular intended as a disposable article.
- FIG. 1 shows a photometric measuring device as a composite structure composed of organic light-emitting and photodiodes and imaging optics for evaluating diagnostic test strips in a sectional representation
- Figures 2 and 3 further embodiments of organic light emitting diodes and associated imaging optics in section.
- Fig. 4 is a hermetically shielded organic in a housing
- LED arrangement in section; and 5 shows a matrix arrangement of individual photometers based on combined organic light-emitting and photodiodes in a top view.
- the optical measuring device shown in the drawing is used for the photometric examination or evaluation of diagnostic test strips 10, for example for glucose tests in blood samples. It comprises a positioning unit 12 for the test strip 10 and a composite structure comprising a light source 16 formed by at least one organic light-emitting diode (OLED 14), a carrier substrate 18, an imaging optics 20 and a photodetector 24 having at least one polymer photodiode 22.
- OLED 14 organic light-emitting diode
- carrier substrate 18 an imaging optics 20
- photodetector 24 having at least one polymer photodiode 22.
- a plurality of OLEDs 14 arranged in a matrix are provided, which have different emission wavelengths.
- the film-like OLEDs 14 are based on at least one thin organic luminescent layer 26, which is arranged in sandwich formation between two electrode layers 28, 30.
- the voltage is applied, positive charges are forced from the anode layer 28 into the luminous layer 26, while 30 electrons are injected at the cathode layer. Due to the electric field, the injected charge carriers move to the opposite electrode layer. If electrons and holes meet, electron-hole pairs are formed, which can be recombined before radiation.
- the emission spectrum is determined by the organic semiconductor material used.
- Highly efficient OLEDs contain further injection and transport layers to optimize this electroluminescent injection effect, as well as auxiliary layers as a diffusion barrier and for homogenization.
- a common anode 28 is provided adjacent to the carrier substrate 18, which is made of ITO (indium tin oxide) or consists of related oxidic compounds and conductive polymers and is permeable to the emitted light.
- the cathodes 30 consisting of a metal layer can be controlled individually via separate taps 32.
- Different optically detectable reactions or properties of the analytical test areas 34 on the test strip 10 can be evaluated via the different wavelengths of the controlled OLEDs.
- different illumination target areas or illumination spots can be irradiated, for example in order to examine the smallest sample volumes on a given test area 34 in a spatially resolved manner.
- the carrier substrate 18 consists of a thin flat material which is permeable to the light generated, in particular a thin glass or flexible polymer film or a suitable multilayer.
- the OLEDs 14 applied thereon can be manufactured as layer emitters in extremely small dimensions.
- the pixel size can be between 50 and 200 ⁇ m, while the layer thickness of the luminous layer 26 can be in the range of 100 nm.
- Such structures can be created with a wide range of process technologies such as dipping, spin and dip coating, screen and inkjet printing, PVD and CVD processes with high precision.
- the imaging optics 20 are attached to the side of the carrier substrate 18 opposite the OLEDs 14. It has a multiplicity of surface-distributed lens units 36 for emitter-side coupling and detector-side coupling of the measurement light. These can be laminated onto the substrate side facing the test element 10 as a prefabricated microstructured lens structure 38, for example in the form of a hot-stamped film material. Alternatively, it is possible to directly mold the lens structure on the free substrate side, for example by embossing.
- the polymer photodiode 22 is constructed similarly to the OLEDs in a sandwich construction from two electrode layers 40, 42 and a semiconducting polymer layer 44.
- photosensitive layer cells are known per se and for example in the publication by Dey et al., A dye / polymer based solid state thin film photoelectrochemical cell used for light detection, Synthetic Metals 118 (2001), pp. 19-23, their Content included here is described.
- a multiplicity of photodiodes can also be arranged on the carrier substrate 18 as a one- or two-dimensional array or diode array. It is also conceivable to combine a conventional photometric receiver with an OLED light source described above.
- the composite structure of OLED 14, imaging optics 20 and photodiode 22 enables a very compact and optically precise photometer arrangement to be implemented, which can be made available to the user in a compact housing 46 in order to carry out the evaluation of test strips 10, in particular designed as disposable articles.
- a receptacle 48 that can be inserted into the housing 46 is provided as a positioning unit for the test strip 10.
- the beam path runs from the light source 16 through the substrate 18 and the imaging optics 20 to the test surface 34 and from there is reflective or remitted via the imaging optics 20 through the substrate 18 into the detector 24 a transmissive arrangement is also possible in which the test strip 10 is examined in transmitted light between the light source and the detector.
- each OLED 14 is imaged by a group of lens units 36 onto a target area on the test strip 10.
- the embodiments shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 differ essentially from this in that each OLED 14 is assigned a single lens 36 with a larger lens diameter. 2, it is designed as a Fresnel lens 36 'and its design is optimized for microstructuring and impression technology.
- FIG. 3 shows an aspherical converging lens 36 "for focusing the emitted light.
- separate anode layers 28 of the OLEDs 14 are provided as individually controllable front electrodes, while a continuous cathode layer 30 forms a common back electrode.
- a housing 50 is provided for hermetically shielding the free surface of the OLED 14 from the environment in order to protect both the organic light-emitting layer 26 and the transport / injection layers 52 and metal electrodes 30 against oxidation by oxygen and the influence of moisture .
- the housing 50 can be fixed on the edge side via an adhesive layer 54 to the electrode layer 28 or the carrier substrate 18 and can contain a drying agent 56 as additional moisture protection. It goes without saying that instead of a separate housing, a coating or the like can also be provided together with the carrier substrate 18 as a material-tight barrier.
- FIG. 5 shows a further embodiment with a large number of elementary photometers 58 arranged in a matrix-like manner on the surface of the carrier substrate.
- the elementary photometers 58 are each formed on a square pixel area by a cross-shaped polymer photodiode 22 and four OLEDs 14 arranged in the corner regions and working with different wavelengths, although other local combinations are of course also conceivable.
- a target area on the test element 10, as illustrated by the circle 60 in FIG. 5, can thus be optically scanned in a spatially resolved manner. This allows small samples to be examined photometrically even with inaccurate positioning. At the same time, it is possible to reduce the optical measuring distance and, if necessary, even to dispense with imaging optics.
