Definitions

  • the subject of the invention relates to a testing unit for determining the physical characteristics of samples containing liquid components, especially for determining the number of blood cells in blood, which has a basic body with a delimiting shell enclosing a flow cuvette and having an upper surface, a lower surface and side surfaces in between the upper surface and the lower surface, where there are at least two current-conducting electrodes located on the inner side of the delimiting shell surrounding the flow cuvette separated at a distance, furthermore, the flow cuvette has an inlet passage serving for inputting the sample to be tested and an outlet passage serving for releasing the tested sample, and there is a measuring gate inside the flow cuvette.

Patent specification registration number EP 2.523.004 presents a testing unit suitable for performing optical measurements while publication document number US 2012/021 1373 presents a testing unit based on the measurement of impedance.
  • the undoubted advantage of the applied solutions is that the smaller dimensions create the possibility for moving the equipment more easily, and the use of the sample and reagents used for performing the measurements can be greatly reduced.
  • the disadvantage of measurements made on the basis of the volumetric impedance method is that the direct current needed for measurements with the given method on the electrodes for electricity feed necessarily generates the so-called "redox reaction", as a result of which gases form on the surfaces of the electrodes.
  • the bubbles forming in this way disturb measuring, they may cause noise, or in extreme cases they may even terminate the liquid-electrode contact, which may make measuring impossible.
  • Our aim with the solution according to the invention was to overcome the deficiencies of testing units suitable for making measurements based on the known volumetric impedance method and to create a version that eliminates the measuring problems deriving from bubble formation and thus results in higher reliability and makes greater measurement precision possible.
  • the solution according to the invention is based on the recognition that if the flow cuvette containing the measuring point is created with a geometrical construction unlike the ordinary, in such a way that one of the current- conducting electrodes situated before the measuring point is placed in a controlled-flow channel in a way different from the known methods, and in this channel a flow moving away from the measuring point is created with novel liquid-flow control, then the bubbles forming before the measuring point can be prevented from getting to the measuring point, so their disturbing effect cannot be asserted there and so the task can be solved.

  • the section of the flow cuvette between the first current- conducting electrode and the second current-conducting electrode is at least partly filled with an electricity-conducting medium, and so the first current-conducting electrode and the second current-conducting electrode are in an electrically conducting connection via the electricity-conducting medium.

  • the testing unit in the part of the flow cuvette in the environment of the measuring gate and/or in the measuring gate there is an optical sensor part-unit.
  • the testing unit according to the invention has numerous advantageous characteristics. The most important of these is that as a consequence of the unique setup of the flow cuvette there is no bubble formation in the environment of the measuring sensors of the electric measuring body situated at the measuring gate, and so the bubbles cannot cause measuring faults, as a result of which the reliability of the measuring result and the measuring precision both increase significantly.
  • testing unit according to the invention contains fewer moving parts, the liquid pathways to be travelled by the sample are significantly shortened and so the measurements may be performed with a low amount of energy use, and with a minimal sample and reagent demand.
  • a further advantage deriving from this is the further increase in reliability of the testing unit, the reduction of maintenance demand and the reduction of fault probability, which, together, may result in a great increase in the efficiency of the testing unit according to the invention and in a significant decrease in the specific testing expenses as compared with traditional devices.
  • testing unit may be operated without an optical head in a three-part machine, while in a five-part machine it may be operated with an optical head, in other words its area of use may be extended. Furthermore, the use of the testing unit according to the invention makes it possible to perform simultaneous volumetric impedance and optical measurements, which may result in the more favourable and more reliable evaluation of the test results.
  • the testing unit according to the invention may be used to create a bedside, in vitro diagnostic device which is based on a measuring procedure that may be performed using the traditional and medically accepted volumetric impedance method, and which is capable of producing fast and precise results in the hospital ward, which is a fundamental requirement in the case of urgent tests and which the known solutions were unable to comply with in the desired way.
