Urogenous component measuring apparatus for qualitatively/quantitatively measuring a plurality of urogenous components
First Claim
1. A urogenous component measuring apparatus comprising:
- a stool body;
a urine collector being provided in said stool body on a position for receiving urine;
an excitation light source part for generating excitation light of a visible or infrared wavelength region;
a measuring/photoreceiving part for irradiating a urine specimen in said urine collector with said excitation light from said excitation light source part and receiving target light including Raman light generated from said urine specimen being irradiated with said excitation light;
an optical system including a spectro-detector for incorporating said target light being received in said measuring/photoreceiving part and measuring either a Raman spectral intensity at a selected measuring shift wavenumber or a Raman spectral intensity at each shift wavenumber in an arbitrary shift wavenumber range as to a urogenous component to be measured;
a data processing part for incorporating said Raman spectral intensity measured value obtained in said optical system for calculating at least one urogenous component concentrations on the basis thereof; and
a data output part for outputting a data analysis result by said data processing part.

Abstract
A concave urine collector is set under a front end portion of a stool body, so that urine can be collected in a bowl. Single fiber holes are set on a front end and a left side of the urine collector respectively, while condenser lenses for condensing light on the bowl side, an excitation light fiber member carrying excitation light from an excitation light source and a Raman light receiving fiber member for receiving Raman light are set in the fiber holes respectively. The excitation light fiber member is connected with the excitation light source, and the Raman light receiving fiber member communicates with a spectro-detector. A Raman signal separated into its spectral components detected by the spectro-detector is data-processed by a data processing part, and outputted from a data output part as a measurement result.
