| 摘要 |
An apparatus for detecting a target molecule in a liquid sample suspected of containing the same is disclosed. The invention comprises a sample module (10) and a reaction module (11). The sample module (10) has a liquid containing sample chamber (23), a sample chamber inlet opening (24), and a sample chamber outlet opening (26) formed therein. The reaction module (11) has a reaction chamber (43), a reaction chamber inlet opening (44), and a reaction chamber outlet opening (64) formed therein. A ligand which binds the target molecule is immobilized in the reaction chamber (43). A frangible barrier (27) is sealably connected to the sample chamber outlet opening (26) and a pointed member (46) is connected to the reaction chamber inlet (44). The sample module (10) and the reaction module (11) are releasably engaged to one another with the sample chamber outlet opening (26) and the reaction chamber inlet opening (44) in fluid communication. |
