Abstract:
The present invention relates to a portable digital reader for urinalysis. The portable digital reader for reading an analysis target chip including a plurality of test areas, comprises: a main body including a light emitting section having light emitting elements for radiating light, an integral optical splitter for uniformly distributing the light from the light emitting section to each test area of the analysis target chip, a light receiving section for receiving light reflected from the each test area so as to convert the same to electric signals, and a measuring section for measuring concentration according to the electric signals obtained from the light receiving section; a main supporting body having the analysis target chip and assembled with the main body; and an auxiliary supporting body assembled between the analysis target chip and the main supporting body, including a groove for assembling the analysis target chip, and assembled with the main supporting body to be exchanged after use. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the reader from being contaminated with superfluous urine by forming a portion contacting a strip chip to be exchangeable and disposing a moisture absorption material to a portion for introducing the strip chip.
Abstract:
A power-applying module includes a substrate, a voltage transformer, a voltage-applying pattern, a voltage induction pattern, and a protection part. The voltage transformer is disposed on the substrate. The voltage-applying pattern is formed at an end portion of the substrate and is electrically connected to the voltage transformer to apply a driving voltage to a lamp. The voltage induction pattern is formed on the substrate adjacent to the voltage-applying pattern, and is spaced apart from the voltage-applying pattern to sense an induced voltage corresponding to the driving voltage. The induced voltage is induced by the voltage-applying pattern. The protection part detects the induced voltage to control the driving voltage output by the voltage transformer.

Abstract:
Provided is a method of manufacturing a hollow microneedle structure. The method includes forming an injection mold having a through hole, filling the injection mold with a photoresist formed of a viscous material, and extruding the photoresist from the injection mold through the through hole, solidifying the extruded photoresist to form a needle-type photoresist structure, forming a seed layer on the surface of the photoresist structure, forming a metal plated layer on the seed layer, inclining an end tip of the photoresist structure having the metal plated layer, and removing the photoresist from the metal plated layer to form a hollow. Thus, the hollow microneedle structure can be manufactured to have such diameter, length, hardness, and inclination angle as to minimize pain. The hollow microneedle structure can be combined with an apparatus for detecting a biomaterial or injecting cosmetic substances or medicines, and variously applied.

Provided are a plastic microfluid control device having a multi-step microchannel and a method of manufacturing the same. The device includes a lower substrate, and a fluid channel substrate contacting the lower substrate and having a multi-step microchannel having at least two depths in a side coupling to the lower substrate. Thus, the device can precisely control the fluid flow by controlling capillary force in a depth direction of the channel by controlling the fluid using the multi-step microchannel having various channel depths. A multi-step micropattern is formed by repeating photolithography and transferred, thereby easily forming the multi-step microchannel having an even surface and a precisely controlled height.
