Publication number: 20160310938Abstract: A device and a method for analyzing an analyte in a liquid sample are provided. The device comprises a detecting chamber included in a detection device for containing a detecting element; a liquid sample transferring chamber; and a film with small pores disposed between the detecting chamber and liquid sample transferring chamber. When the detection device is inserted into a liquid sample collecting chamber, the liquid sample in the collecting chamber enters the liquid sample transferring chamber but cannot enter the detecting chamber via the film with small pores. When a piston is inserted into the liquid sample transferring chamber, the piston forces a part of liquid sample in the liquid sample transferring chamber to enter the detecting chamber via the film with small pores. Using the device and the method can determine an analyte in a sample quantitatively and can complete the detection in one step.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 21, 2016Publication date: October 27, 2016Inventors: Wei Liu, Andrew P. Phelan, Zhong-Qi Jin, Ying-An Zhan, Shuang Yu, Fu-Qiang Huang, Li Wang, Yin-Fei Wu, Jian Zou

Patent number: 7317532Abstract: An assay result reading device for reading the result of an assay performed using a liquid transport carrier may include at least one light source capable of emitting light incident upon at least one of two or more spatially separated zones of the carrier, a photodetector so positioned as to be capable of detecting light emanating from each of the two said zones and generating signals representing the presence or absence of a fluid sample in the respective zone, and a computation circuit. The computation circuit may be responsive to the signals to calculate a flow rate for a fluid flowing along the carrier, compare the calculated flow rate to upper and lower limits, and reject the assay result if the calculated flow rate is outside the upper and lower limits.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2003Date of Patent: January 8, 2008Assignee: Inverness Medical Switzerland GmbHInventors: Stephen P. Sharrock, Andrew P. Phelan

Patent number: 7044919Abstract: A method for determining the time of maximum fertility in the mammalian ovulation cycle, for the purpose of assisting conception, wherein testing is conducted over a period of days in the current ovulation cycle on samples of body fluid obtained from an individual human subject to detect an elevated concentration of first analyte, such as luteinising hormone (LH) indicative of the event of ovulation, and additionally testing is conducted over a period of days in the current ovulation cycle on samples of body fluid obtained from the individual subject to detect an elevated concentration of a second analyte, such as estradiol or a metabolite thereof, especially estradiol-3-glucuronide (E3G), to provide advance warning of ovulation.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 1999Date of Patent: May 16, 2006Inventors: Michael Catt, Rosie L Habeshaw, Keith May, Fiona McNae, Andrew P Phelan
