Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
133 words
A test instrument on which a specimen is spread for being measured by a mearusing device and having a first opening for passing said specimen, a specimen spreading layer having a portion of which is exposed to said first opening, a reagent layer in contact with said spreading layer, provided on an opposite side of said first opening, a support member in contact with said reagent layer, and provided on a opposite side of said first opening, and a second opening, at which measurement is performed by said mearusing device, situated on an opposite side of said first opening, wherein said second opening has an opening area set to be smaller than an opening area of said first opening, and a uniformly affixed portion of said specimen is exposed to said second opening.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
133 words
A test instrument on which a specimen is spread for being measured by a mearusing device and having a first opening for passing said specimen, a specimen spreading layer having a portion of which is exposed to said first opening, a reagent layer in contact with said spreading layer, provided on an opposite side of said first opening, a support member in contact with said reagent layer, and provided on a opposite side of said first opening, and a second opening, at which measurement is performed by said mearusing device, situated on an opposite side of said first opening, wherein said second opening has an opening area set to be smaller than an opening area of said first opening, and a uniformly affixed portion of said specimen is exposed to said second opening.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
28 words
The test instrument according to claim 1, wherein the opening area of said first opening is set to be about twice the opening area of said second opening.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
69 words
The test instrument according to claim 1, wherein an adsorbing layer provided in close proximity to an edge portion of said first opening in order to adsorb the specimen an excess amount of which has been collected; and a covering portion, which is formed on an inner peripheral region of said first opening in a cover forming said first opening, in order to cover and conceal said adsorbing layer.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
34 words
The test instrument according to claim 1, wherein the inner peripheral region of said first opening is formed into a circular cone-shaped configuration having an opening area which gradually diminishes toward said spreading layers
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
40 words
The test instrument according to claim 1, wherein the inner peripheral region of said first opening is formed into a circular cone-shaped configuration having an outwardly bulging curved surface and an opening area which gradually diminishes toward said spreading layer.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
30 words
The test instrument according to claims 1 through 5, wherein the test instrument is used in a measuring device which measures blood-sugar value by measuring coloration of a reagent layer.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
30 words
The test instrument according to claims 1 through 5, wherein the test instrument is used in an analyzing device which measures uric acid by measuring coloration of a reagent layer.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
29 words
The test instrument according to claims 1 through 5, wherein the test instrument is used in an analyzing device which measures GOT by measuring coloratiom of a reagent layer.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
29 words
The test instrument according to claims 1 through 5, wherein the test instrument is used in an analyzing device which measures GPT by measuring coloration of a reagent layer.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
29 words
The test instrument according to claims 1 through 5, wherein the test instrument is used in an analyzing device which measures GOT by measuring coloration of a reagent layer.
