  • Patent number: 11162941
    Abstract: An immunoassay cartridge is disclosed that can enhance the reliability of an antigen-antibody reaction while increasing a speed of an antigen-antibody reaction. An immunoassay cartridge includes a reaction chamber and a fluorescence sensor assembly. A plurality of antibodies or antigens is attached to an inner surface including a bottom surface of the reaction chamber closest to the sensor. The fluorescence sensor assembly is disposed on a bottom surface of the reaction chamber. Since the bottom surface of the reaction chamber and the upper surface of the fluorescence sensor assembly are arranged to coincide with each other, even if fluid is repeatedly moved in a first direction after the fluid moves in a second direction in the reaction chamber and then moved in the first direction, there is no obstacle in the movement of the fluid. Thus, it is possible to increase the probability of antigen-antibody reaction in the reaction chamber.

  • Patent number: 10962477
    Abstract: The wide-angle emission filter includes a base matrix, a photoresist, and a colorant. The base matrix has a flat shape and including a transparent material. The base matrix does not generate fluorescent light or phosphorescent light by an excitation light. The photoresist is disposed in the base matrix. The photoresist is fixed in a solid state through at least one method selected from the group consisting of thermal hardening, photo hardening, and drying. The colorant is disposed in the base matrix and includes light having a predetermined wavelength range. The wide-angle emission filter filters the excitation light regardless of an incident angle of the excitation light.

    Abstract: The present disclosure a biochip including a side emitting-type light-emitting device, in which the bio-chip includes: a light-emitting device for emitting light from a fluorescent material; reflective layers provided over and under the light-emitting device so as to emit light from the sides of the light-emitting device; and reaction regions formed by etching of flanking regions of the light-emitting device. In the biochip, light emitted from the sides of the light-emitting device causes a biochemical reaction in the reaction regions. According to the present disclosure, light emitted from the light-emitting device moves only laterally without being transferred to the top or bottom of the bio-layer, and is transferred to the reaction regions formed by etching of flanking regions of the light-emitting device, so that a biochemical reaction in the reaction regions can be more efficiently performed.

The system comprises M×N matrix camera modules disposed below the cell culture unit in which a cell culture vessel is received, and thus can simultaneously analyze changes in the cells being cultured in a multi-well cell culture vessel such as a 96-well plate. Particularly, the system enables a desired portion to be observed by selectively switching on camera modules corresponding to the desired portion. In addition, the system can microscopically observe entire wells or can microscopically observe the region of interest of a single cell at high magnifications, can display dynamic cell images in real time, can overcome the problem of contamination during cell analysis and culture, and can remotely check the state of culture in real time.
