  • Patent number: 12208383
    Abstract: A biochemical detection device is revealed. The biochemical detection device includes a cap and a base arranged at two ends of a test tube correspondingly and a driving member disposed on the base. A sample-mounting slot and a test-paper-mounting slot separated from each other are formed in the test tube. After sampling, a sample obtained is placed into the sample-mounting slot and mixed with an extraction solution therein. A thin-film on the sample-mounting slot is penetrated by the driving member to allow the extraction solution mixed with the sample flowing into a cavity of the test tube to react with a test strip in the test-paper-mounting slot. The test cost is reduced and the detection efficiency is improved due to simple structure and easy operation. Moreover, the sample and the extraction solution are sealed in the test tube to prevent environmental pollution caused by spread of viruses.
