Rotatable substrate for liquid sample analysis
The patent US12066450B2 describes a sample analysis substrate designed for the efficient transfer and analysis of liquid specimens. The substrate features a base plate with a rotation shaft and a reaction chamber that holds the liquid specimen. This chamber is equipped with an inlet and an outlet, facilitating the movement of the liquid. A key innovation is the inclusion of a dried agent within the reaction chamber, which interacts with the liquid. The chamber is structured to have both capillary and non-capillary portions, allowing the liquid to be drawn into the non-capillary section through centrifugal force generated during rotation. This design aims to enhance the flow and transfer of the specimen for analysis.
Additionally, the patent outlines a sample analysis system that incorporates the substrate along with a motorized device. This device is responsible for rotating the substrate and includes a rotation angle detection circuit and a control circuit to manage the operation of the motor. The system is programmed to facilitate the release and dispersion of the dried agent into the liquid when the substrate is in use. Variations in the height of the capillary portion within the reaction chamber are also specified, which may influence the capillary action and overall performance of the substrate. The claims collectively emphasize the innovative aspects of the substrate's design and its integration into a broader analysis system, highlighting its potential applications in specimen analysis.
