  • Publication number: 20110070603
    Abstract: Disclosed are a blood tester for measurement of temperature of a sample placed in a blood-testing disc using a thermochromic pigment, and a control method thereof. The disclosed blood-testing disc, the blood tester having the blood-testing disc loaded therein, and the control method of the same, are used to measure a light absorbance of the thermochromic pigment in order to determine a temperature of a sample when a biological material such as blood, blood serum, blood plasma, or sputum, is subjected to analysis, so that the test may be executed at a constant temperature. Accordingly, more reproducible and accurate results are obtainable, and temperature measurement of a sample may be simply and effectively attained by an optical analyzer built in the blood tester, without an alternative instrument or sensor for measurement thereof.

  • Publication number: 20020168781
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a kit for diagnosing non-pregnancy and a method for diagnosing non-pregnancy of an animal using the same, and more particularly, to a kit for diagnosing non-pregnancy of animal comprising: an assay strip, formed of thin film type paper comprising a plurality of holes for moving a test sample, wherein progesterone-BSA conjugate is immobilized on one end portion as a test line and anti-IgG is immobilized on the other end portion as a control line; and anti-progesterone IgG-gold conjugate for reacting with the test sample such as blood or milk. The inventive kit for diagnosing non-pregnancy can test the non-pregnancy of milch cow without any special device about 20 days after the artificial insemination. Furthermore, more accurate result can be obtained by using the kit since the non-pregnancy diagnosis is performed by comparing color of the test line with that of the control line.
