  • Patent number: 8771485
    Abstract: A test strip is revealed. The test strip includes a detection area, at least one outer sampling area, and a circuit system. The detection area includes a sampling hole, at least one sampling channel corresponding to the sampling hole, and at least one reaction area in the sampling channel. An inner sampling area is disposed around the sampling hole and an inner sampling opening is on an edge of the inner sampling area for communicating with the sampling channel and the sampling hole. The outer sampling area is located on an outer side of the test strip. The outer sampling area includes an outer sampling opening in communication with the sampling channel. The circuit system is electrically connected to the reaction area. The test strip further includes at least one pressing part located around the sampling hole for pressing against a test area and preventing cross-infection.

  • Publication number: 20130341186
    Abstract: A test strip and a detecting device are disclosed. The test strip can be used with an electrochemical instrument to accurately detect the viscosity and concentration of an analyte of a specimen. The test strip includes a first specimen path, a first electrode set, a redox reagent, a second specimen path, a second electrode set, and a reaction reagent. The redox reagent includes at least a redox pair. When the specimen enters the first specimen path, the redox pair dissolves and generates an electrochemical redox reaction for obtaining a flow time of the specimen. When the specimen enters the second specimen path, the reaction reagent is used to obtain the analyte concentration of the specimen, and the concentration of the analyte can be corrected by the flow time.

  • Patent number: 7144485
    Abstract: This invention relates to a strip for analyzing a sample. The strip includes two insulating layers, a spacer layer, and a conducting circuit. The spacer layer is disposed between the two insulating layers, and configured to define, together with the two insulating layers, an adsorption port, a sample chamber, a capillary for delivering a sample from the adsorption port to the sample chamber through the capillary, and a vent for facilitating delivery of the sample into the sample chamber. The conducting circuit, also disposed between the two insulating layers, includes a working electrode, a counter electrode, conducting wires, and connectors. A test agent, reactive to an analyte in a sample, is in association with the electrodes.
