Recently, diagnostic kits for diagnosing diseases such as hepatitis, diabetes, anemia, hyperlipemia, AIDS, etc., or pregnancy by using body fluids such as urine and blood have been widely used. The diagnostic kit may include a diagnostic strip capable of diagnosing disease or pregnancy using the body fluid.
The diagnostic strip may include a base card made of plastic and a bonding pad, an absorbent pad, a membrane pad, a sample pad, etc., which are adhered to the base card through an adhesive. The membrane pad may be coated with a diagnostic reagent for determining the disease or pregnancy, and the membrane pad coated with the diagnostic reagent may be protected by a protective agent.
The diagnostic reagent may be applied using a nozzle on the membrane while continuously conveying the membrane in the form of a strip using a supply roller and a collection roller. In addition, the membrane to which the diagnostic reagent is applied as described above may be transported through the protective agent solution contained in the container, whereby the protective agent solution may be coated on the membrane. However, the diagnostic reagent may be non-uniformly applied on the membrane by the bubbles in the diagnostic reagent, so that errors in the judgment of the disease using the diagnostic reagent or the pregnancy may occur.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a defoaming device capable of removing bubbles in a liquid and a diagnostic reagent application device capable of uniformly applying a diagnostic reagent on the membrane using the defoaming device.

At this time, liquid is received in the first space, and at least a part of the partition may be made of a porous material for discharging bubbles in the liquid through the second space.
According to embodiments of the present invention, the first space of the container may have an open top, and the container may further include a cover closing the open top.
According to embodiments of the present invention, the defoaming device may further comprise a dissolved oxygen sensor for measuring the amount of dissolved oxygen in the liquid.
According to embodiments of the present invention, the first space may be provided with vacuum pressure for removing the bubbles.
According to embodiments of the present invention, the first space may be connected to the vacuum pump or a separate second vacuum pump to form the first space into the second vacuum chamber.
According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a diagnostic reagent application device comprising: a container; an internal space of the container divided into a first space for accommodating a diagnostic reagent and a second space serving as a vacuum chamber; A nozzle for applying the diagnostic reagent on the membrane, a supply pipe for connecting between the container and the nozzle, and a supply pipe connected to the supply pipe, And a feed pump for feeding through the nozzle. At least a part of the partition may be made of a porous material for discharging bubbles in the diagnostic reagent through the second space.
According to embodiments of the present invention, the first space of the container has an open top, and the container may further include a cover that closes the open top.
According to embodiments of the present invention, the supply pipe may extend through the cover adjacent to the partition.
According to embodiments of the present invention, the diagnostic reagent application device may further include a dissolved oxygen sensor disposed adjacent to the partition to measure the amount of dissolved oxygen in the diagnostic reagent.
According to embodiments of the present invention, the membrane may have a strip shape, and the diagnostic reagent application device may further include a membrane transfer part for transferring the membrane via the lower part of the nozzle.
According to embodiments of the present invention, the diagnostic reagent application device may further include a heater disposed adjacent to the transfer path of the membrane for drying the membrane to which the diagnostic reagent is applied.
According to embodiments of the present invention, the container may be provided with an observation window for checking the amount of the diagnostic reagent accommodated in the first space.
According to embodiments of the present invention, a piston pump may be used as the supply pump.
According to embodiments of the present invention, the first space may be provided with vacuum pressure for removing the bubbles.
According to embodiments of the present invention, the first space may be connected to the vacuum pump or a separate second vacuum pump to form the first space into the second vacuum chamber.
According to embodiments of the present invention as described above, the defoaming device includes a container having an inner space, a partition dividing the inner space into a first space and a second space, and a partition forming the second space into a vacuum chamber A vacuum pump and the like. Particularly, at least a part of the partition may be made of a porous material, and bubbles in the diagnostic reagent accommodated in the first space may be discharged through the partition and the vacuum chamber.
The diagnostic reagent application device including the defoaming device may further include a nozzle connected to the container through a supply pipe and adapted to apply the diagnostic reagent on the membrane, and a nozzle for supplying the diagnostic reagent through the nozzle, As shown in FIG.
Since the bubbles in the diagnostic reagent can be sufficiently removed through the porous partition and the vacuum chamber, the diagnostic reagent can be applied very uniformly on the membrane. As a result, the reliability of the diagnosis using the diagnostic reagent or the judgment of pregnancy can be greatly improved.
