Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cuvette apparatus capable of receiving a blood sample and performing optical measurement, and a biooptical measurement apparatus having the same.
In recent years, interest in health has increased with the aging society, and various portable blood testing devices are being developed. Such a blood test apparatus receives blood directly from the human body and tests blood through various methods.
Among such blood testing devices, optical testing devices generally require a cuvette container to contain blood. Specifically, a cuvette container accommodating a blood sample is mounted in an optical inspection apparatus, and then light is irradiated. Optical inspection of the blood sample is performed by collecting and analyzing light passing through the blood sample. On the other hand, as the cuvette container, a transparent container as a whole was generally used.
However, when the cuvette container as described above is used, the deviation of the incident angle of the light incident on the light receiving element due to the scattered light due to the blood is widened, which may cause a large measurement deviation, A problem arises.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a cuvette device capable of reducing the angular deviation of emitted light.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a bio-optical measurement apparatus having the cuvette apparatus.
A cuvette device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a first plate having a blood inlet for injecting a blood sample and having an internal space for accommodating the injected blood sample and having a first transmission window for transmitting light therethrough; A second plate disposed above the first plate, the second plate having a larger area than the first transmission window and exposing the entire first transmission window; And a second plate disposed between the first plate and the second plate and extending from a first corner where the blood injection port is located to a second corner direction opposite to the first corner, And a chamber plate having a first opening for forming the inner space together with the first and second plates.
In one embodiment, the width of the first opening in the first direction orthogonal to the direction in which the blood is injected is greater than the width in the first direction of the first transmissive window, and the width of the first transmissive window Direction and may be the same. For example, the width of the first opening in the first direction may be smaller than the width of the second transmission window in the first direction.
In one embodiment, the second transmissive window may be formed to extend from the first edge of the second plate to expose the blood injection port. Alternatively, the second transmissive window may be formed to extend from a position away from the first corner of the second plate to a second corner of the second plate opposite to the first corner.
In one embodiment, the first plate may include a first base plate formed of a transparent polymer material, and a first light blocking coating layer coated on a lower surface of the first base plate and blocking light, The light blocking coating layer may have a second opening to form the first transmission window.
In one embodiment, the second plate may include a second base plate formed of a transparent polymer material, and a second light blocking coating layer coated on the upper surface of the second base plate and blocking light, The light blocking coating layer may have a third opening to form the second transmission window. In this case, the first light blocking coating layer and the second light blocking coating layer may have a hydrophobic property.
In one embodiment, the cuvette device may further include a sensing electrode formed on an upper surface of the first plate, at least a portion of which is located in the inner space, and sensing a blood sample injected into the inner space .
A bio-optical measuring apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a first plate having a first transmission window for transmitting light, a second plate disposed on the first plate, having a larger area than the first transmission window, A second plate having a second permeable window formed thereon and a second plate disposed between the first plate and the second plate and extending from a first edge where the blood injection port is located to a second edge direction opposite to the first edge, And a chamber plate having a first opening formed therein and exposing the entire first transmissive window, the chamber plate defining an interior space in which the blood is received together with the first and second plates; A housing unit including a body portion having an insertion space into which the cuvette device is inserted, and a grip portion disposed inside the insertion space and holding a part of the cuvette device; And a light emitting element and a light receiving element coupled to the body portion so as to be opposed to each other with the cuvette device interposed therebetween.
In one embodiment, the width of the first opening in the first direction orthogonal to the direction in which the blood sample is injected is larger than the width in the first direction of the first transmission window, May be less than or equal to the width in one direction.
In one embodiment, the blood injection port of the cuvette device may be exposed to the outside of the housing device in a state where the cuvette device is gripped by the grip portion.
According to the cuvette apparatus and the biooptical measurement apparatus including the cuvette apparatus of the present invention, the diameter of the first transmission window of the first plate is smaller than the width of the second transmission window of the second plate and the width of the third opening of the chamber plate So that outgoing light having a large horizontal component in the light scattered by blood cells in the blood sample can be blocked. As a result, the deviation of the emission angle of the light emitted through the first transmission window and incident on the light reception element can be reduced, and the measurement deviation of the light reception element caused by the deviation of the incident angle of light can be reduced.
Since the light blocking coating film is formed on the surfaces of the first plate and the second plate, external light can be effectively blocked to prevent optical interference due to external light.
In addition, when the light blocking coating film is water repellent, the blood sample can be prevented from spreading to the lower surface of the first plate or the upper surface of the second plate, not the receiving space inside the cuvette apparatus.
