Biological fluid analyzing device and method

摘要

The biological fluid analyzing device for analyzing biological fluid by measuring optical characteristics of a sample has a sample receiving port and a pump connection port. Between the sample receiving port and the pump connection port, the analyzing device has either a combination of at least one sample-treating chamber e.g. three chambers and at least one optical-measuring chamber e.g. two chambers, or a combination of at least one sample-treating chamber, at least one optical-measuring chamber and at least one waste liquid reservoir. The sample receiving port is connected with one sample-treating chamber; the pump connection port is connected with a pathway or waste liquid reservoir; and the sample-treating chamber and optical-measuring chamber are interconnected with the pathway, or the sample-treating chamber, optical-measuring chamber and waste liquid reservoir are interconnected with the pathway. This construction allows a series of reaction steps to be performed without being affected by physical properties of a liquid sample and thereby assures high level of precision in analyzing the liquid sample. This constructions also enables measurements to be made easily.
