METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR THE COLLECTION, STORAGE, AND REAL TIME ANALYSISOF BLOOD AND OTHER BODILY FLUIDS |
摘要 |
An apparatus for collecting, separating, testing and storing small quantities of blood or other bodily fluid in situ. The apparatus includes a collection chamber which is abutted by a filter made of a thin sheet of fibrous material having an average pore size of less than 3 microns, The fibrous material has been treated with a mixture containing 1-40 % wt/vol carbohydrate and 0.1-15 % wt/vol non-specific protein. A preferred carbohydrate/protein mixture comprises about 10 % mannitol and about 6 % albumin. The blood or other fluid moves through the filter card by capillary action aided by an absorbent matrix with a high Klemm factor which abuts the filter card. The absorbent matrix and/or filter card can be treated with a wide spectrum of test reagents. The speed and efficiency of the separation process can be altered by: (a) changing the concentration of the carbohydrate/protein in the mixture; (b) applying pressure to one side of the filter, and/or (c) varying the relative density and pore size of the filter card and absorbent matrix.
