Measuring method for immunochromatographic test strip
First Claim
1. A measuring device for immunochromatography test pieces, comprising an irradiation optical system for irradiating measurement light onto immunochromatography test pieces;
- and a detection optical system for detecting light from said immunochromatography test pieces due to said measurement light;
characterized in that said detection optical system comprises a cylindrical lens and an imaging element; and
said cylindrical lens is disposed in such a manner that the direction of the generating line thereof intersects with the direction of travel of antigens or antibodies in said immunochromatography test piece, and creates an image of a pattern formed in a direction intersecting with the direction of travel of said antigens or antibodies, on said imaging element, due to the irradiation of said measurement light from said irradiation optical system.

Abstract
A measuring device 1 comprises an irradiation optical system 20 and a detection optical system 30. The irradiation optical system 20 comprises a light-emitting element 21 and a mixing rod 22. The detection optical system 30 comprises a cylindrical lens 33 and a CCD image sensor 36. Light from the light-emitting element 21 is diffused by a diffusing plate 23 and enters into a mixing rod 22, where it is mixed. The light mixed inside the mixing rod 22 is then diffused by a diffusing plate 24 and irradiated onto an immunochromatography test piece 10 as measurement light. The light transmitted by the immunochromatography test piece 10 is formed as an image on the light receiving face 37 of a CCD image sensor 36, by means of the cylindrical lens 33. The CCD image sensor 36 captures the image formed by the cylindrical lens 33 at the light receiving face 37.
