Abstract:
A clinical test apparatus for measuring/testing a test piece which is impregnated with an analyte and placed on a reaction table for reaction with the analyte at a predetermined temperature, the apparatus comprising:a base; a reaction table supported by the base and formed by molding resin into a predetermined configuration; a primary coil provided on the base at a position adjacent the reaction table and supplied with alternating current power; a secondary coil provided on the reaction table in facing relation to the primary coil for generating an induced electromotive force due to the alternating current power supplied to the primary coil, the secondary coil being spaced from the primary coil and the base; a heater mounted to the reaction table for generating heat due to the electromotive force induced in the secondary coil, wherein the heater is located within a wall thickness of the reaction table and the secondary coil is molded and sealed in the molding resin which forms the reaction table; and an electrical connection for conveying electromotive force from the secondary coil to the heater.
