Abstract

Point of care testing (POCT) is could be easily and economically performed and was widely used. In particular, the test items using immune chromatographic method has been conveniently used. But when an error occurs, we should reaffirmed the test results, but we could not reaffirm because the test line is disappeared as the time pass, and the test results are different between laboratory workers. Therefore, we developed multi-strip reader which can store images for the test results and can interpretate the test results automatically. Then we evaluated newly developed multi-strip reader for urine pregnancy test, the test results of the multi-strip reader was 100% matched with the previously results. Our newly developed multi-strip reader was convenient and economic, and will be widely used in many laboratories.

현장검사는 환자가 있는 즉석에서 검사하여 결과를 알 수 있으며 신속하고 경제적으로 시행할 수 있는 장점이 있어 널리 이용되고 있다. 특히 면역크로마토그래피법을 이용한 검사 항목은 편리하게 쓰이고 있으나 오류가 발생하여 재확인 할 경우, 판독선이 시간이 경과됨에 따라 재확인이 불가능한 단점이 있고 반응이 약한 경우 판독자에 따라 오류가 생길 수 있다. 이에 검사에 쓰이는 다양한 현장검사용 스트립의 판독이 가능하고 화상을 저장할 수 있는 기능을 가진 멀티 스트립 리더기를 개발하였고, 요 임신검사가 의뢰된 검체를 대상으로 개발된 멀티 스트립 리더기를 평가한 결과 100% 일치된 결과를 보였다. 본 연구에서 개발된 멀티 스트립 리더기는 실제 임상에서 편리하고 경제적으로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.
