  • the wells When the blood sample of the patient is added and the excess blood subsequently decanted, the wells washed and with a tracer reagent, the wells will be colored in a degree to determine the extent that the patient is allergic to these contagions. With no coloring arising in any well, the patient will be regarded as immune to the particular allergy antigen of the one well.
  • Prior well strips 15 shown in Figures 1, 3 and 4 have been formed of transparent plastic and have a top flat strip 15' with a series of raised openings 16' from which depend cylindrical or test tube-like wells 16 that extend some one half inch in depth below the top flat strip 15'.
  • the deep wells are interconnected with one another at their sides and their bottoms are closed by flat circular portions 16" upon which the residue results from the test will be observed.
  • One end of the top flat strip 15* is extended at 17 and has a small hole 17' therein to fit over a small upstanding projection 19' of a tray 19 normally required for the support of the prior strips 15 to prevent spilling of their well contents.
  • top flat strip 15* is retained on the tray 19 at the opposite side between small inwardly-extending projections 19" that will lie astride end well portion 16 so that the well strip 15 is held against sliding displacement along the tray 19.
  • a small window area 21 is provided in the opposite end extension 22 through which a raised indicia 23 on the tray frame may be read while the welled strip 15 over-lies the tray 19.
  • a top hold down frame e 20 is placed over the collected strips 15 and such present sticks 25 which can be similarly assembled therewith upon this standard tray 19 to hold down all pieces against vertical displacement therefrom.
  • the prior deep welled strips 15 have to have their wells 16 filled individually with measured quantities of reagent or specimen as by the use of a pipette and that is a time consuming task. Decan- tation of the well 16 becomes a similar task and costly laboratory evacuation apparatus is required. Laboratory surroundings have had to be more or less available by the physician for the carrying out of immunoassay tests with these prior welled strips 15.
  • These prior deep welled strips 15 can be placed on a flat supporting surface, but because of their height they cannot be placed with safety while having liquid contents in them. They are easily upset and thus are dependent upon the tray 20 for safe support. Thus, for filling and decantation -. ' operations they need to be assembled between the tray parts 19 and 20.
  • the flat bottom plates 16" of the cylindrical wells 16 of the prior strip 15 make for reading of the test results as to color with the projection of light from through the well bottoms.
  • Such flat bottom plates 16" make for the existence of often unclean circular corners against their cylindrical side walls and significant capillar effects arise thereby to reduce the accuracy of the readings.
  • both the prior and present pieces are made of polystyrene, a plastic well known to have an affinity for capturing antigen and antibody proteins and to enhance the separation of solid matter during the solid phase cycles on pre-coating the stick wells and the performing of the immunoassay tests.
  • the prior flat bottom well plate 16" of the prior strip 15 while having the same affinity for proteins takes on a heterogeneous coating preparation due to the diffi- culty in cleaning of the corners of the flat bottom plate 16" with its cylindrical wall and a hetero ⁇ geneous specimen assay will result.
  • the present stick has been designed to overcome such deficiencies to reduce labor in the use of the stick, facilitate the procedure of carrying out of immunoassay tests, lessen the costly laboratory equipment needed in the carrying out of the assay tests as with the prior microtiter strips 15, and finally to make the procedure more adaptable to physicians and laboratory personnel.
  • the present microtiter stick 25 principally differs in construction from the prior strip 15 by the provision of but shallow well depressions 26 fashioned in a solid plastic body that are bottomed with optically transparent concaved lense portion 26' that conform to the rounded well bottom. On projecting light upwardly through these lense portions 26" onto a photo-sensor 35 see Figure 14, the solid material on the lense portion will be focused on a plane and be more accurately read with the photo-sensor instead of merely sensing through an unfocused plate bottom 16" of prior strip 15. By the focused lighting arrangement a better color interpretation will be obtained.
  • the present microtiter stick 25 is about the same size as the prior art strip 15 and can be placed therewith in the standard two-part try 19-20, see Figure 3.
  • the present stick has an end lip 27 with a small hole 27' therein for assembly over the small upstanding projection 19' on the tray bottom part 19.
  • the other end of the present welled stick 25 instead of a mere lip extension has an elongated handle extension 28 by which the stick 25 is handled at times of being placed upon the tray 19 or removed therefrom to empty its contents.
  • This handle is also conveniently used to label the stick for patient identification purposes deemed critical for retaining the integrity of results.
  • the top tray part 20 is cutaway at 20' on one side to accommodate the handle extension 28. To retain the handle end of the stick against lateral displacement the bottom of the stick is placed between two inwardly-extending projections 19" of the tray 19.
  • the depending body of the stick has spaced vertically-extending re ⁇ Memos 29 and 30 under the handle extension 28 to respectively receive the small inwardly-extending frame projections 19" as the stick 25 is laid down upon the tray 19.
  • the handle 28 can be easily grasped to lift the stick 25 from the tray 19 and this is often done many times during the assay to rid the shallow wells 26 of their contents.
  • the wells 26 being shallow decantation devices are unnecessary to empty the wells.
  • the stick 25 can be lifted and with a snap of the wrist over a sink drain 31 in the manner illu ⁇ strated in Figure 13, the wells are quickly and completely ridded of their contents. All wells are at once emptied with the flip of the stick. Imple ⁇ ment decantation of the individual wells is there- fore not needed.
  • An upstanding boundary border 31 surrounds all of the wells 26 running along the sides and across the ends of the stick to permit flooding of the top surface of the stick for effecting simultaneous filling of the wells 26 with unmeasured quantities as from a squeeze bottle as shown in Figure 4.
  • Each well 26 holds 100 mi ⁇ roliters, suitable in volume amount in drops for assay testing, and to obtain full colorization of the well surface.
  • the resul ⁇ tant residue material will develop color and be read through bottom concaved lense area 26'.
  • the boundary border 31 runs tangentially to the side edges of the wells 26 with no surface area lying therebetween.
  • the border 31 runs to the full extent of the eight wells and is closed off at 31' on the end projection 27 and at 31" on the opposite handle end 28.
  • the wells are fully confined by the boundary border 31 so that as illustrated in Figure 4 the entire series of wells 26 will by simple flooding with a squeeze bottle 32 or a free flowing device for spilling of the reagent or specimen on the top surface area, so that wells 26 will be instantly filled to measured capacity with little excess overflow, and each well holding 100 micro- liters.
  • a stream of large specimen drops 34 will abound from bottle nozzle 33 to flood the top surface of the stick 25 and instantly fill the wells 26. It should be apparent that this flooding procedure cannot be effected with the deep welled prior stick 15 and as illustrated in Figure 4 the deep cylindrical wells will have had to have been filled separately and individually with the drops 34 from the squeeze bottle 32. Any measured quantity of blood specimen could have been ascertained only by counting the drops 34, short of the actual filling of the wells 16, unless and more often a pipette would have been used to discharge measured quantities into cylindrical wells.
  • prior strips 15 comprising the deep transparent cylin ⁇ drical test tube-like wells lying attached and closed upon one another that the optical readings of one well can be hampered by optical interference of the showing of the other wells so that true readings of the respective wells are not so likely to pre ⁇ vail.
  • the wells 26 are not tubes as with the prior stick 15, but are mere shallow and frosted openings formed with inclinded walls in the stick's solid body and without cylindrical well walls and such that there can be little, if any, optical interference between adjacent wells.
  • the present stick 25 is frosted throughout all of its surface areas except for the relatively small surface area of the well lensed portions 26'.
  • the frosting extends over all sur ⁇ faces, top, sides, bottom and down into the shallow wells 26, except for their lensed bottoms 26'.
  • the wells by themselves will also be given by the frosting therein effective added contact surface area to ensure that adequate coating densities will be obtained for better observation of test results.
  • the affinity action of proteins upon the polystyrene thus has been enhanced by the frosting.
  • the frosting will have first been made upon the molding surface of the stainless steel die parts and such frosting transferred during the molding oper ⁇ ation onto the molded work body.
  • the die parts are frosted by an electroylytic etching procedure or by any other accepted frosting procedures. Corres- ponding frosting upon the work stick is thus ob ⁇ tained from the dies.
  • the lense areas of the dies are smoothly ground toward infinite fineness and its clarity is transferred to the plastic work stick body. From so formed die parts, sticks frosted except from the lense areas are produced ready for use, inexpensively and are disposable • after final use in the carrying out of the assay tests.
  • the sticks will have been pre-coated with specified antigen or antibody proteins prior to their delivery to physicians and laboratories, and ready for use.
  • the present stick 25 has a flat bottom surface in which the area beneath the lense portions 26 are recessed. Such recesses will keep the lense por ⁇ tions from being scratched.
  • the flat bottom surface allows the present stick to be rested upon a flat supporting surface and not easily turned over, thereby permitting its use without the need for tray 19. With the frosting extending over the handle data marks can be made thereon.
  • the present stick will be pre-coated with antigens and antibodies in accordance with the physician's specifications and requirements and varying for different geographical locations.
  • There are different allergy contagions for the different locations which will be predetermined and known to the physician within his given geographical area.

  • both antigens and anti ⁇ bodies are proteins and that they lock with one another upon being brought together in the assay tests.
  • Each of the wells of the microtiter stick is coated with but a specific antigen or antibody depending upon the nature of the assay to be made. Because of the natural affinity of these proteins to a hydropholic surface such as that of polystyrene, these two proteins irreversibly bind, absorb or combined with the pre-coated surface upon the well walls. By frosting the well wall surface enlarges the availability surface of the well and thereby the capacity and the efficiency of the well surface is increased.

The assay will have been finally completed.
  • the degree or intensity of the color is propor ⁇ tional to the amount of antibody that was bound upon the well wall from the body specimen.
  • the prior microtiter strip 15 and its bottom plate 16" has had many optical shortcomings since it has only provided low plate surface area for the specimen and cylindrical wall areas of the well optically finished and not involved in optical observation. Color development has been less easily delineated due to inter-well interference due to such optically clear surfaces but unavailable for the viewing or sensing color development. With the present shallow walls the full surface areas are available for sensing of color development. Further, it should be seen that the present stick has been designed for easy molding. That the present stick 25 is less than one-half the height of the prior strip 15 and can be safely rested upright on a flat supporting surface without the need of a tray and at the same time can be used in the trays along with the prior strips. While various changes may be made in the details construction, it shall be understood that such changes shall be within the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims.

Abstract

Une tige de microtitrage jetable utilisée pour effectuer des tests d'immunoanalyse chimique dans le but de déterminer des allergies et des maladies chez les êtres humains et les animaux consiste en une tige de polystyrène allongée en une pièce à fond plat (25) ayant une série d'alvéoles ou puits peu profonds (26) avec fonds en forme de lentilles et une extension formant poignée (28) s'étendant à partir d'une extrémité de la tige de manière à pouvoir saisir et soulever cette dernière. Les puits (26) sont peu profonds de manière à pouvoir les vider simultanément en prenant la tige par la poignée (28) et à vider tout le contenu des puits de la tige (25) par un petit coup sec du poignet. Un bord frontière surélevé (31) s'étend autour de la surface supérieure de la tige (25) entourant tous les puits (26) de sorte qu'ils se remplissent tous simultanément avec le réactif ou spécimen simplement en inondant la zone de la surface supérieure bordée de la tige (25). Toutes les surfaces de la tige (25) comprenant les surfaces des parois des puits, à l'exception des zones de vision de lentilles (26') à fonds optiquement transparents, sont dépolies. La surface du fond de la tige (25) est plate de sorte que la tige (25) peut reposer sur une surface de support plate mais elle est évidée sous les zones de vision de lentilles (26') de manière à la protéger contre les égratignures.
