- the test tool B to which the sample is applied may be immediately loaded into the optical measuring device A, and the user measures time until the test can be performed after the sample is applied to the test tool B. There is no need to keep it. For this reason, the user can continue the operation of spotting the specimen on the other test device B. Further, the test device B loaded in the optical measuring device A is reliably inspected after an appropriate time has elapsed. Therefore, the inspection using the optical measuring device A can be performed efficiently.
- the test tool B is spotted on the test tool B, but the test tool B is left unattended due to a lack of work, an appropriate test result cannot be obtained from the test tool B in many cases.
- the coloration state of the reagent holding unit 8C which is the control line, is read immediately after loading, thereby leaving the test unjustly left. It is possible to prevent the tool B from being inspected.
- the reaction completion time Tr1 to Tr6 is automatically set by reading the inspection item code 63. This eliminates the need for the user to manually input the reaction completion times Tr1 to Tr6 corresponding to the inspection items. Further, the controller 3 can accurately grasp the loading time of the test tool B by the sensor 12. Thereby, the measurement of the reaction completion times Tr1 to Tr6 can be automatically started.
- the user can obtain an appropriate inspection result simply by loading the test tool B into the optical measuring apparatus A.
- the optical measuring device A substantially eliminates the test tool B.
- Such an optical measuring apparatus A is suitable for conducting a large number of influenza tests in an orderly and efficient manner as in the example described above. In addition to this, for example, even when an influenza test and an allergy test coexist, such as when tests with different reaction completion times are performed, it is possible to avoid complicated test work. Since the optical measuring apparatus A can perform from loading to result output fully automatically, it is only necessary to provide a power button as an operation means for the user to operate.
- the reading unit 2 sequentially scans CH1 to CH6, the reading processes Pf, Pt, and P can be performed uniformly on all the test devices B loaded in the loading unit 11. Since the reading unit 2 is configured to collectively read the strip-like region extending in the longitudinal direction of the test device B, that is, the direction perpendicular to the scanning direction, all reading can be performed only by the reading unit 2 scanning CH1 to CH6. Processing can be performed. For this reason, it is not necessary to further scan the reading means 2 in the longitudinal direction of the test device B in addition to the scanning direction described above. Thereby, the time required for reading can be shortened. Further, the time required for the reading means 2 to perform one reciprocating scan can be arbitrarily set as the unit of the development continuation time.
- the optical measuring device according to the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment.
- the specific configuration of each part of the optical measuring apparatus according to the present invention can be varied in design in various ways.
- the number of reagent holding units is not limited to three types of 8A, 8B, and 8C, and can be further increased.
- the number of test instruments B that can be loaded into the optical measuring apparatus A is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and may be more or less than six.
- the configuration in which the examination item code 63 and the patient information entry column 64 are read by the reading unit 2 is suitable for automatic examination, but the present invention is not limited to this. When a slight burden on the user is allowed, for example, a configuration may be adopted in which inspection items and reaction completion time are manually input.
- the reading unit 2 is not limited to the configuration in which the reagent holding units 8A, 8B, and 8C can be appropriately read, and the irradiation light and the light receiving range extend in the longitudinal direction of the test tool B.
- the optical measurement apparatus of the present invention can be used for various inspections including inspection using immunochromatography.
- the present invention is not limited to the configuration having the reagent holding units 8A and 8B as the test reagent holding units and the reagent holding unit 8C as the confirmation reagent holding unit separately, and the test reagent holding unit and the confirmation reagent holding unit. It may have a configuration having a reagent holding portion that also serves as the above. For a certain reagent holding unit, the reading process Pf is performed before the reaction time completion time elapses. As a result, if the reagent holding portion is already colored (colored), it is determined that an unreasonable amount of time has passed since the sample was applied, and the test is not performed.
