Description

Strip alignment equipment

The present invention relates to an alignment device, and more particularly, by separating the strips with a strip spacing adjusting unit, and pushing the strips in the longitudinal direction with the first position adjusting unit, and pushing the strips in the width direction with the second and third position adjusting units. , It relates to a strip alignment device for adjusting the position of the strip so that the plurality of strips are aligned to the predetermined position of the strip spacing adjusting unit.

In general, an in vitro diagnostic kit is a tool for diagnosing an in vitro condition by checking an antibody reaction contained in urine or blood.

That is, by dropping urine or blood with the in vitro diagnostic kit, the urine or blood flows to the membrane surface through the moisture absorption pad of the in vitro diagnostic kit. It is possible to check the in vitro condition by analyzing the antibody reaction contained in the urine or blood buried in the in vitro diagnostic device.

Patent Document 1 shows a conventional diagnostic kit. Referring to this, it includes an upper and a lower case, a membrane attached to the lower case among the upper and lower cases, and a sample pad attached to one end of the membrane to receive a sample and a conjugate pad formed to be spaced apart from the sample pad by a predetermined distance to detect whether an analyte is present in the sample.

At this time, a test line is formed between the sample pad and the conjugate pad to check whether the first reactant specifically reacts with the analyte contained in the sample, including the first reactant.

In addition, a control line is formed at the rear end of the conjugate pad to check whether the sample has moved along the membrane.

That is, when a specimen is introduced into the specimen inlet of the upper case, the specimen is absorbed into the specimen pad, and in that state, it moves along the surface of the membrane and passes through the inspection line.

At this time, by confirming that the analyte contained in the sample reacts specifically to the first reactant of the test line, the authenticity of the sample is checked.

Subsequently, the sample moving along the membrane arrives at the conjugate pad, and at this time, the conjugate pad is checked to confirm the in vitro diagnostic status by reacting oppositely depending on the presence or absence of the analyte in the sample.

In addition, the sample moving along the membrane past the conjugate pad reaches the control line, so that it is possible to visually confirm whether the sample has moved by checking the control line.

However, Patent Document 1 as described above has the inconvenience of having to directly couple the strip to the device of the in vitro diagnostic kit repeatedly. In addition, the front and back sides of the strip are combined so that the front and back sides are reversed by the operator's mistake during repeated bonding work, resulting in defective products of the in vitro diagnostic kit, and in particular, increasing the number of workers due to the need for excessive labor At the same time, the wage cost increases, and accordingly, there is a problem in that the production efficiency decreases and the reliability of the product decreases.
