TESTING DEVICE AND BLOOD MIXING AND DILUTING METHOD

摘要

Herein discloses is a testing device (40), comprising therein an inlet port (44a) introducing a blood specimen thereinto, a blood separating chamber (41) held in fluid communication with the inlet port (44a) through a fluid passageway (211A) to receive a blood specimen, and a hemolyzed blood chamber (42) having accommodated therein a hemolyzed blood fluid. The testing device (40) is operative to be rotated around a rotation center and stop from being rotated to have the blood specimen accommodated in the blood separating chamber (41) into blood cells and a blood plasma fluid, and the blood separating chamber (41) is held in fluid communication with the passageway merging area (43) through a fluid passageway (211B) to have the blood plasma fluid separated from the blood specimen flowed through the fluid passageway (211B), in such a manner that the hemolyzed blood fluid is mixed and diluted with the blood plasma fluid in the passageway merging area at a predetermined dilution ratio.
