Description

Device and method for biological detection of toilet water solution

The present invention relates to a biological detection device and method, in particular, to a biological detection device and method of a toilet water solution.

The initial symptom of colorectal/rectal cancer is fecal occult blood, and the initial symptom of bladder cancer is urine occult blood, both of which are related to occult blood. In the United States, the incidence of colorectal cancer accounts for 8% of the total incidence of cancer, the incidence rate ranks fourth, and the mortality rate ranks second. In China, the incidence of colorectal cancer accounts for 18.6% of the world, and the death toll accounts for 20.1% of the world, both ranking first in the world. In Taiwan, colorectal cancer has been the number one cancer for 12 consecutive years, and the incidence of colorectal cancer is the first in the world. The journal "NATURE" proposed on November 9, 2017 that there is currently no universal screening method for bladder cancer. Only when people can see blood in their urine can they know that invasive endoscopic diagnosis and treatment is required. , and people with this kind of hematuria symptoms, about 10% of people will be diagnosed with bladder cancer. Therefore, it is feasible to use a non-invasive method to detect whether urine is abnormal and can reduce the discomfort caused by endoscopy.

The conventional immunoassay occult blood test requires self-collection of fecal samples, which must be sent back to the hospital to wait for the test results, which lacks speed and convenience. When collecting stool samples, since occult blood is not evenly distributed in the stool, false negatives may be generated during the inspection process because occult blood cannot be collected, resulting in misjudgment. Or the tumor or polyp itself is bleeding intermittently rather than continuously, so it is also possible that the tumor or polyp did not bleed on the day or day before the stool sample was collected, resulting in false negative test results and misjudgment.

Japanese Patent No. 1998339728 discloses a stool composition inspection device, in which a stool collection procedure is required, an additional diluent is added, and a washing procedure is required, which is quite inconvenient.

Other conventional detection methods need to add chemicals to combine with blood in feces or urine. For the general public, additional steps are required, so it is inconvenient to use, and additional burden of chemical consumables is generated.
