Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an oxidation/reduction-active compound as a detection reagent for measuring fluorescence in analyte, for solving defects in prior art at least partially. SOLUTION: A method for detecting analyte by oxidation/reduction reaction and fluorescence measurement brings a sample, containing analyte into contact with the detection reagent containing a compound expressed by as a fluorescent oxidation reduction indicator. NBD-amine-N-oxide, or its derivative is obtained as a redox indicator. In this manner, NBD-amine formed by reduction features high fluorescence and can be extremely easily excited by blue light irradiation, thus solving nonconformities, where the number of these known as a compound for use, for example, especially strong blue and read LEDs is not sufficient, since an excitation light source to be used is limited mainly to UV and green regions in known fluorescence detection reagents.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for measuring an analyte in a liquid sample by means of an examination system which includes two compartments. SOLUTION: A detection reaction, necessary for measuring the analyte in the liquid sample, is carried out in the inside of a first compartment, and analytical measurement of an index substance, which is at least one substance concerned with the detective reaction and different from the analyte, is carried out inside side a second compartment. Two compartments allow the index substance to enter the second compartment, and separation is carried out, while at least partially preventing entrance of another substance, capable of disturbing the analytical measurement of the index substance in the second compartment. As a captured substance, at least another substance capable of selectively condensing the index substance in the inside of the second compartment is fixed inside the second compartment. The analyte can be measured by using this examination system. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To simplify the connection between an analysis apparatus and a test component magazine, work out a design for improvement in reliability of the connection, avoid disposal of electronic parts, and reduce costs by reusing the electronic parts. SOLUTION: An analysis system (300) having an analysis apparatus for determining an analyte in a body fluid and a test piece magazine(134) contains a group (120) of reusable components and a group (140) of disposable components, and components (132, 134) having no electronic elements can be disconnected from the group (120) at a disconnection point (302). Critical interfaces (150, 160) are assembled and tested during production of the apparatus. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a manufacturing method of a polymer layer on a supporting part, the method being capable of manufacturing the polymer layer having a predetermined uniform thickness by a simple method. SOLUTION: The manufacturing method of a polymer layer on a transparent support comprises the steps of: (a) disposing the supporting part; (b) applying a photopolymerizable liquid composition on the support; (c) irradiating the photopolymerizable liquid composition through the support so that the liquid composition is partially polymerized and a polymer layer having a predetermined thickness is formed on the supporting part; and (d) removing the residual liquid composition from the polymer layer.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the tips of the lancets are erected prior to a puncture, for example by swiveling them out of the plane of the wheel, in this context, high precision is required in order for the lancet puncture to be associated with little pain, and moreover, erecting the lancet tips should be feasible with as little effort as possible to allow this to be performed in a compact puncturing device. SOLUTION: In the lancet wheel (1) having a plurality of lancets (2) in a ring-shaped arrangement, the lancets (2) includes a lancet body (4) that ends in a lancet tip (3). The lancet wheel (1) has a carrier (5) that carries the lancets (2), whereby the lancets (2) are connected to the carrier (5) via bars (7, 7a, 7b, 7c) that allow for mobility of the lancets (2) relative to the carrier (5).

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a lancing assisting instrument, enabling simple handling, used with little mechanical complicatedness, and stored in a space-saving manner. SOLUTION: A body fluid withdrawing system includes a housing with at least one opening 6 and at least one lancet 1 which is elongate and substantially straight in its original and unused form. The lancet has a distal end with a lancet tip for carrying out a lancing operation. The system also includes a drive unit 4 for driving the lancet in a drive direction and at least one guide element which makes contact with the lancet at least during the lancing operation and guides the lancet movement such that the lancet is bent relative to the drive direction. The lancet can have a high restoring force such that it returns to its original substantially straight shape after contacting the guide element 3. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
