Patent

CA 2309504

The present invention relates to a self-contained analyte(s), including bioanalytes, which includes a first housing and a specimen holder rotatably fit in the first housing. The specimen holder has a center portion, a circular flange surrounding the center portion and a pin member extending from underneath of the center portion. The center portion has a radial slot extending from its peripheral end toward a closed end, or alternatively, towards its center. A spring/latch assembly is adapted to be held in the slot on the specimen holder and includes a spring member disposed in the slot near its closed end, or alternatively, near the center of the center portion, and a latch member having a remote end and a plurality of plunger members. The assay device also includes a second housing, preferably a cam-plate having a rim portion surrounding a concave portion adapted to accommodate the center portion of the specimen holder and an opening on the rim portion for adding a specimen to be tested.

La présente invention concerne un analysat ou des analysats autonomes, comprenant des bioanalysats, lequel comprend un premier logement et un support à échantillon monté rotatif dans le premier logement. Le support à échantillon présente une partie centrale, un bord circulaire entourant la partie centrale et une broche s'étendant à partir du dessous de la partie centrale. La partie centrale présente une fente radiale s'étendant de son extrémité périphérique vers une extrémité fermée, ou alternativement vers son centre. Un ensemble à ressort/de verrouillage est adapté pour être maintenu dans la fente sur le support d'échantillon et il comprend un ressort disposé dans la fente près de son extrémité fermée, ou alternativement près du centre de la partie centrale, et un élément de verrouillage présentant une extrémité distante ainsi qu'une pluralité de plongeurs. Le dispositif de dosage comprend également un second logement, de préférence un plateau-came présentant une partie de jante entourant une partie concave adaptée pour recevoir la partie centrale du support d'échantillon ainsi qu'une ouverture sur la partie de jante permettant d'ajouter un échantillon à tester.
