Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110072885CHROMATOGRAPHIC MEASUREMENT APPARATUS - A chromatographic measurement apparatus for measuring a color development state of an insoluble carrier with a sample solution and a label solution developed thereon to test a test article, the insoluble carrier including a test detection area where a material that binds specifically to a test article is immobilized and a control detection area used for determining an end of measurement. The chromatographic measurement apparatus includes: a determining unit for carrying out determination of validity and determination of necessity of amplification of a test result of the test article; and an amplifying unit for amplifying the color development state according to the result of the determination of necessity of amplification by the determining unit. The amplification is carried out only when it is determined that amplification is necessary.03-31-2011

20110229977CHROMATOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS APPARATUS AND METHOD, AS WELL AS PROGRAM - Testing of a test article based on a color development state of a test area is achieved in an easy manner. A sample is deposited on a spreading layer of a test piece, and the test piece is loaded in a loading port of a chromatographic analysis apparatus. After a preset time has elapsed, color development states of the test area and a control area in an observation window are read as an image. A preprocessing unit applies preprocessing to the image, and then, spatial frequency components of the image are calculated. Then, pattern information is generated based on the spatial frequency components, and the pattern information is displayed on an information output unit.09-22-2011
