Testing element, testing apparatus, and testing system
First Claim
1. A testing element for performing a specimen test, comprising:
- an information recording section installed at a surface of and/or inside the testing element;
a plurality of fluid paths; and
a plurality of heater electrodes for heating each interior of the fluid paths, wherein information on a characteristic of the testing element is stored in the information recording section, the information including, as pieces of information, characteristics of the respective fluid paths which include a pressure resistance or a value of heater electrode resistance, andwherein the information on the characteristic is read-out to set a control parameter for performing the specimen test.

Abstract
Conventional laboratory tests require calibration before each test. This results in the need for a reagent for calibration before each test. Additionally, calibration takes a long time, and the total TAT (Turn Around Time) of a testing system increases. The testing system thus suffers from the difficulty of improving the testing efficiency. This invention, which has been made to solve the problem, provides a testing element for performing a laboratory test, wherein the testing element includes an information recording section at the surface of and/or inside the testing element, and the information recording section stores information on a characteristic of the testing element.
