Patent number: 8815154Abstract: The present invention concerns a tape magazine especially for a hand-held device for analyzing a body fluid with a test tape that can be unwound from a storage unit and wound onto a waste unit where the waste unit can be driven in order to wind forward the test tape. The invention provides that a lock which keeps the test tape under tension is integrated in the tape magazine at least on the storage unit. The present invention also concerns a hand-held device with such a tape magazine. The present invention also concerns a hand-held device with a mechanical drive for the test tape and a disposable hand-held device with polymer-based electronic components.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2011Date of Patent: August 26, 2014Assignee: Roche Diagnostics Operations, Inc.Inventors: Hans List, Hans-Peter Haar, Bernd Rösicke

Patent number: 8242461Abstract: An integrated test element (110) is proposed for detecting for detecting at least one analyte in a sample (142), in particular in a liquid sample (142). The integrated test element (110) has a carrier element (112), with an application face (114) on which at least one organic electroluminescent component (126) is applied. Furthermore, at least one indicator substance (136) is applied on the application face (114), which indicator substance (136) alters at least one optical characteristic, in particular an emission characteristic (e.g. a fluorescence characteristic), when it comes into contact with the at least one analyte. Furthermore, the integrated test element (110) has at least one photodetector element (116).Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2008Date of Patent: August 14, 2012Assignee: Roche Diagnostics Operations, Inc.Inventors: Bernd Rösicke, Kai Hebestreit, Claudia Gässler-Dietsche, Frederic Wehowski

Patent number: 5855851Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for transferring a liquid capable of accurately performing detection of a liquid level using a pipetting probe even in a case of a high electric conductivity of a in-flow-passage moving fluid which transmits sucking and discharging operation of a syringe (107) to the pipetting probe (100, 400, 500, 600). The probe has a liquid level sensing electrode (103, 401, 501, 601) and an inner tube (102, 402, 502, 602). The liquid level sensing electrode capable of contacting with a liquid to be pipetted is electrically separated from an inner tube filled with the moving fluid, and the both are insulated by an electric insulating member (104B, 403, 503) between them. A container (111) containing the liquid to be pipetted is held by a container holder (112), and a liquid level can be detected by change in an electrostatic capacitance between the container holder and the liquid level sensing electrode of the probe when the probe is moved downward.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 1997Date of Patent: January 5, 1999Assignees: Hitachi, Ltd., Boehringer Mannheim GmbHInventors: Shigeki Matsubara, Kazuhiro Tanaka, Akira Inagaki, Bernd Rosicke

Patent number: 4553848Abstract: A method and device for detecting and evaluating the optical properties of a specimen, utilizing a light source that has alternating light and dark phases, a detector that picks up light from the light source by way of the specimen being examined, and a circuit that integrates and digitalizes the signals received from the detector, that includes an integrator, and that can be connected to the detector. The signals emitted from the detector are integrated both during at least part of the light phase and during at least part of the dark phase. The integral obtained during the dark phase is subtracted from that obtained during the light phase in order to determine the results. The integrator that is used to integrate the signals is used like an analog-to-digital converter of the double-integration type to convert the integral into a digital signal.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 1982Date of Patent: November 19, 1985Assignee: Boehringer Mannheim GmbHInventors: Bernd Rosicke, Rudolf V.
