The present invention relates to a multisystem for simultaneously performing a biochemical examination and a blood test or an immunity test, the multisystem including a multi-disc in which a biochemical examination unit, a blood testing unit and an immunity test unit are divided and formed in a fan shape based on a rotation center. There is an effect that it is possible to perform all of a biochemical examination for measuring concentration values of biochemical components of serum to diagnose vital functions, a blood testing for separating blood samples to measure and test the number and deformation of red blood cells or white blood cells, and an immunity test for measuring an antigen-antibody reaction of serum to diagnose and test cancer or viruses in one device at the same time by using the multi-disc according to the present invention.

A fluid processing device includes a detection assembly having a source and a detector. The source emits a signal to fluid or a fluid component in the fluid processing device, with at least a portion of the signal reaching the detector. The detection assembly further includes one or more adjustment systems configured to adjust the position and/or orientation of one or more components of the detection assembly. The position and/or orientation of the entire source and/or the entire detector, the position and/or orientation of a component of the source with respect to another component of the source, and/or the position and/or orientation of a component of the detector with respect to another component of the detector may be adjusted to increase the signal received by the detector.

A control cuvette used for measurement accuracy control in a measuring apparatus for observing a formed element contained in a liquid sample after precipitating the formed element to a bottom surface of a cuvette, wherein an observation pattern representing a shape of the formed element contained in the liquid sample is provided at an observation surface of the control cuvette corresponding to the bottom surface of the cuvette.

A cartridge to be installed in a detection device for detecting light generated from a measurement sample containing a test substance is provided. The cartridge includes: a plurality of detection chambers fluidly isolated from each other and each receiving a measurement sample; and a transmission suppression unit provided between one detection chamber and another detection chamber of the plurality of detection chambers, and configured to suppress transmission of light generated from a measurement sample in the one detection chamber to the another detection chamber.

A qualitative and quantitative heavy metal analysis device and, more particularly, a qualitative and quantitative heavy metal analysis device implemented by a rotary platform are provided. The rotary platform device includes a main injection part which is positioned near a rotating shaft of a rotary platform, wherein the main injection part is configured to receive a fluid sample containing heavy metals, a pH adjusting part configured to adjust pH of the fluid sample, a detecting part coated with a chelating agent configured to initiate a color reaction with heavy metals in the fluid sample by spreading the pH-adjusted fluid sample into the detecting part, and a ruler for measuring a spreading distance of the color reaction, wherein the fluid sample moves from the main injection part through the pH adjusting part to the detecting part by a rotation of the rotary platform device.

The invention relates to a method for preparing a substrate (105a) comprising a sample reception area (110) and a sensing area (111). The method comprises the steps of: 1) applying a sample on the sample reception area; 2) rotating the substrate around a predetermined axis; 3) during rotation, at least part of the liquid travels from the sample reception area to the sensing area due to capillary forces acting between the liquid and the substrate; and 4) removing the wave of particles and liquid formed at one end of the substrate. The sensing area is closer to the predetermined axis than the sample reception area. The sample comprises a liquid part and particles suspended therein.
