    摘要: Novel magnetic assay methods and systems, as well as systems for conducting spectrophotometric analysis therewith. According to a preferred embodiment, the magnetic assay methods and systems incorporate a chromatographic medium, such as an assay test strip, that is designed to be contacted with a test solution having activated magnetic particles. A magnetic field, generated by a magnet or electromagnet, is additionally provided that if selectively applied to a chromatographic medium which causes the charged particles to become substantially bound at a site all in the chromatographic medium specified by the position of the magnets, to thus form a captured line or zone. To the degree of magnetic force applied to the medium may be selectively adjusted to vary the width or surface area of the capture line or zone. Additionally, in a preferred embodiment, capture lines may be formed while test strips are in motion along a stationary magnetized rail. Spectrophotometric analysis may be made at the captured lines and zones for qualitative and quantitative analysis of unidentifiable analyte. A multimode photometer consisting of an optical canopy and base that defines an optical chamber may be utilized for conducting spectral or multi-spectral analysis.

    摘要: An improved enzymatic electrode and electrode module specifically adapted for use in a medical analyzer device is disclosed which permits rapid analysis of substances of interest contained within undiluted body fluids such as whole blood, serum and/or plasma. The enzymatic electrode is in fluid communication with an axially reciprocating probe which selectively transports either a quantity of a buffer aqueous solution or a calibrant aqueous solution presented at a wash cell or a body fluid specimen disposed within a sample cup to an active enzyme bearing membrane positioned adjacent the enzymatic electrode. The membrane comprises a composite membrane structure having a protective membrane layer adapted to prevent the passage of blood cells and other particulate or cellular substances therethrough as well as adjust the diffusion rate of the substance of interest desired to be measured into the membrane, an active enzyme layer adapted to convert the desired substance of interest to be measured into a detectable substance and a limiting membrane formed to prevent the passage of interfering low molecular weight substance therethrough. The membrane/reagent chemistry kinetics of the enzymatic electrode are specifically defined to enable a novel pseudo-rate/created peak measurement technique to be utilized which reduces measurement inaccuracies as well as signal data processing requirements. The membrane/electrode support structure and membrane/electrode solution flow path are specifically formed to permit rapid replacement of the composite membrane and aqueous solutions by non-professional personnel.
