The present disclosure relates to a diagnostic method and a device performing the same. According to an aspect of the present disclosure, a diagnostic device is a diagnostic device that uses a test kit including a specimen plate having a specimen region in which a specimen is smeared and a patch plate configured to store a contact-type patch, which comes into contact with the specimen to stain the specimen, and the diagnostic device includes a body having a loading region in which the test kit is placed, a moving unit configured to move the patch plate and the specimen plate of the test kit relative to each other so that the specimen placed in the test kit is smeared in the specimen region, and a contact unit configured to move a structure of the test kit such that the contact-type patch comes into contact with the smeared specimen so that the smeared specimen is stained.

The present disclosure relates to a culturing patch, culturing method, culture test method, culture test device, drug test method, and drug test device, and the culturing patch according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes component required for growth of an object to be cultured, and a mesh structural body provided in a mesh structure forming micro-cavities in which the component required for growth are contained that is configured to come into contact with a reaction region in which the object to be cultured is placed and provide some of the contained component required for growth to the reaction region.

The present disclosure relates to an immunoassay method for performing immunoassay by using a patch that contains antibodies. An immunoassay method according to an aspect of the present disclosure performs diagnosis by detecting a target protein from a sample to be diagnosed by using a patch which includes a mesh structural body forming micro-cavities and is configured to contain a liquid substance in the micro-cavities, and includes placing the sample to be diagnosed in a reaction region, and providing an antibodies that react specifically with a target protein to the reaction region by using a patch that contains the antibodies.

The present disclosure relates to a gel-phase patch that performs a function of assisting in staining during a staining process such as a process of coming into contact with a specimen such as blood to perform a staining function of staining the specimen, a process of fixing the specimen, or a process of forming an optimal pH at a specimen stained by a staining sample. According to an aspect of the present disclosure, a contact-type staining patch includes a staining solution that reacts with a specimen and a gel receptor provided as a gel matrix of a mesh structure in which a pore that accommodates the staining solution is formed and the mesh structure prevents the staining solution in the pore from leaking or degenerating, and having a contact surface that comes into contact with the specimen to transfer some of the staining solution to the specimen.

According to an aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) patch which is provided as a gel type having a net-like structure forming micro-cavities, wherein at least a part of a plurality of reagents used in a PCR are contained in the micro-cavities, and when the patch contacts with an external region, the reagents contained in the micro-cavities move to at least a portion of the external region, and a PCR of a target DNA included in a sample located in the external region is performed.
