Definitions
- the present invention relates to a culture patch, a culture method, a culture test method, a culture test device, a drug test method and a drug test device, and more particularly, a culture patch and a culture patch for storing nutrients necessary for culturing cells or bacteria. It relates to a culture method, a culture test method, a culture test device, a drug test method and a drug test device using.
- IVD in-vitro diagnosis
- POCT point-of-care testing
- Clinical microbiology is one of the specific areas of diagnostic test medicine in which the body fluid of a suspected microbial infection is sampled, whether the body fluid is actually infected with the microorganism, and if so, which microorganism is the microorganism. It is a study that tells about cognition and, moreover, about which antibiotics the identified microorganisms are sensitive to.
- a bacterial culture that multiplies and isolates the bacteria in the sample is used.
- Bacterial culture is performed to diagnose infection by determining whether bacteria in clinical specimens are pathogens or normal flora.
- a sufficient amount of pure cultures derived from a single bacterium may be used to identify the species by colony characteristics, biochemical properties, staining, and serological responses, and to perform antimicrobial susceptibility testing.
- the conventional bacterial culture is to determine the growth degree according to the size of the colony after applying the bacteria to the petri dish containing mainly PCA medium or agar medium.
- a conventional culture method has a problem that it takes a few days to a few weeks until the colony can be observed with the naked eye.
- One object of the present invention is to provide a patch capable of storing a substance.
- One object of the present invention is to provide a patch that can provide a reaction space of the material.
- One object of the present invention is to provide a patch capable of delivering a substance.
- One object of the present invention is to provide a patch that can absorb a substance.
- One object of the present invention is to provide a patch that can provide an environment.
- One object of the present invention is to provide a culture patch for storing the nutritional requirements necessary for the growth of cultures such as bacteria and microorganisms and cells.
- One object of the present invention is to provide a culture method using the culture patch.

- the inspection apparatus according to the present embodiment includes a net structure NS that forms microcavities, and uses a patch capable of storing a liquid material SB in the microcavities, thereby applying a patch to the plate PL. Can be contacted or separated and images can be taken.
- the plate support part 200 may support the plate PL on which the sample SA, which is a diagnosis target, is located in the reaction area.
- the patch controller 300 uses the at least one patch PA used in the culturing method or the test method according to the embodiment of the present invention to react the patch PA so that the growth request component is delivered to the reaction region. You can control the relative position to the area.
- the imaging unit 400 may capture an image of the reaction region to acquire an image of the reaction region.
- the imaging unit 400 may include an image acquisition module.
- the image acquisition module may include a camera module.
- the imaging unit 400 may acquire an image for each part of the reaction area.
- the imaging unit 400 may collect the obtained image for each part.
- the inspection apparatus may further include a controller 100.
- the control unit 100 may extract the number and morphological information of the culture by using an image analysis program, and determine the growth degree according to the culture, the growth inhibition according to the drug input, the degree of death, and the like.
- 59 illustrates an example of a patch controller in an embodiment of an inspection apparatus according to the present application.
- the patch controller 300 may include a patch selection module 310 and a contact control module 330.
- the patch selection module 310 may select a control target patch PA. Selecting the patch to be controlled by the patch selector PA may be to select which of the plurality of patches PA to be in contact with the reaction region.
- the contact control module 330 may control the contact state between the selected patch PA and the reaction region. Controlling the contact state may be controlling a relative position of the patch PA with respect to the reaction region.
