The LFA device includes a breaker with a tip to make a hole in the cavity wall of the sample port causing the sample fluid held inside the compartment to be applied to the capillary pad after the start of a test.

To provide an immunochromatographic test device capable of accurate diagnosis even when an excess sample is introduced. Provided is the immunochromatographic test device consisting: a test strip; a lower housing including a plurality of support bases that support the test strip; and an upper housing including a dropping hole for dropping a sample into the test strip and a detection window in a direction in which the sample introduced from the dropping hole develops on the test strip, wherein a width of the support base that supports portion of the test strip exposed from the detection window is smaller than a width of the test strip, or wherein among the plurality of support bases, the width of the support base arranged on the lower housing between a position corresponding to the detection window and a position corresponding to the dropping hole is larger than the width of the test strip.

The present disclosure relates to a lateral flow immunoassay device with an increased detection signal intensity by applying a pressure to a membrane, and the lateral flow immunoassay device manufactured by applying the pressure to the membrane according to the present disclosure shows significantly higher sensitivity than that of a lateral flow immunoassay device without applying a pressure to the membrane. Accordingly, the present disclosure, as an invention that increases the detection signal intensity by a very simple physical method without the need for chemical treatment, is suitable for mass production and may obtain an effect of reducing costs without requiring the use of additional materials. Therefore, the present disclosure can be usefully used for a lateral flow immunoassay device for detecting various target materials.

A female urinary diagnostic device including a urine stream collection container having a discharge opening and a stream collection opening, the stream collection opening being configured to surround and isolate a urethral opening, a probe guide passage configured for interior engagement with a vaginal opening for placement of the stream collection opening relative to the urethral opening, and an internal baffle that defines an interior wall of the urine stream collection container that provides a spillway from the stream collection opening to the discharge opening and cooperates with at least a urine sensing device, where the spillway provides urine passage to the urine sensing device and a collection tank, wherein the internal baffle forms at least a portion of the probe guide passage and defines a sounding probe guide surface that positions a sounding probe within the vaginal opening.

A blood sample collection and/or storage device includes a two-piece housing that encompasses a port at which a fingertip blood sample is collected at a sample port. After the sample is taken, the two-piece housing is moved to a closed position deposit the sample onto a storage membrane Embodiments of the device include a one or more capillaries with movable plungers that dispense fluid from the sample port onto the membrane as the housing is closed. A desiccant, which may be held in place by a backbone structure within the housing, is positioned adjacent the membrane. The housing may also be opened to access the stored sample for further processing.

A system for testing for an analyte includes a test strip. The test strip includes a first flow path. The test strip further includes a heating element in communication with a heating area of the first flow path, for heating a sample in the first flow path. The test strip further includes an e-gate, the e-gate in the first flow path, the e-gate separating the heating area from a detection area of the first flow path.

A lateral flow diagnostic testing apparatus including a measurement assembly in which a cartridge is loaded and which is inclined with respect to a main body housing in a lateral flow direction of the cartridge is disclosed. The main body housing and the measurement assembly is rotatably hinge-coupled to adjust an inclination angle. The inclination of the measurement assembly is adjustable by an inclination driving unit. A vibration actuator can be further included on a cartridge loading surface. In addition, a heating unit fixed to face the cartridge can be further included.

Provided are methods and systems that relate to configuring a handheld analyzer. The handheld analyzer may receive an identifier from a dual design test cartridge. The parameter module disposed within the handheld analyzer may determine parameters corresponding to the received test cartridge identifier. The parameter module may then configure the handheld analyzer to perform a test with the dual designed test cartridge using the determined parameters. In an embodiment, the diagnostic test module may determine the test corresponding to the received cartridge identifier and the diagnostic test module configures the handheld analyzer to perform the determined test with the test cartridge. In another embodiment, the dual test cartridge comprises an outer enclosure and an inner enclosure. The outer enclosure comprises a parameter module capable of storing test cartridge identification and may be reused to store new test identifications.

A test device includes a housing and a carrier detachable from the housing. The housing includes a socket, and the carrier contains a testing element, and the carrier along with the testing element therein is capable of being inserted into the housing through the socket. The housing includes a blocking structure and a locking structure. The blocking structure and the locking structure are integrated to form a locking component. When the carrier is inserted into the housing, and a position of the carrier is locked by the locking structure, the carrier is abutted against the blocking structure. The carrier keeps stable after being inserted into the housing; and the carrier is located in the same position for each insertion.
