Title: Test strip measuring method and device
Inventor: MORI MASAAKI
IPC: G01N21/78
Filed: 2001-01-30
Granted: 2012-04-17
Abstract: In a test strip measuring method in which a coloration measurement is conducted while a test strip (4) is being moved, there are detected the optical characteristics R of the ground of a test strip and the optical characteristics T of a test line (4b) which has appeared on the test strip, and the test strip is judged based on the difference or ratio between R and T.  Even though the ground of the test strip presents variations in optical characteristics, and even though there are variations among samples or among test strips, such variations can be absorbed, thus assuring an accurate judgment.

An anti-reflective coating (38) on the LEDs and/or reflectors improves light transmission efficiency. A refractive index matching compound (46) applied between each LED-reflector pair further improves efficiency. A  spectrally selective filter material prevents ultraviolet illumination of clean rooms used for processes compromised by ultraviolet rays. A holographic diffusion lens (52) and/or variable transmissivity filter (54) can be provided to uniformly distribute the LEDs' light.
