Summary
The advantage of our manufacturing device and method is to use press or transfer technology to replace a conventional printing process that only can be operated in a factory. By using press or transfer technology, our device and method can produce multi-functional test strips with high-yield rate and low cost in an automatic process. Furthermore, the device just has an appliance size as a microwave oven dose. By taking an advantage of the small size and easy operation procedure, the devices are competent to be used in convenient stores or drug stores to rapidly produce test strips for customers. It is benefit for customers to monitor his/her health status or food safety easily by self-detection of example level of blood sugar, tissue abnormality, pesticide level or even cancer markers.    

It is known that test strips are a practical tool for detection use based on some advantages such as ease of use, low price and small size. However, in the past, test strips can only be manufactured by huge and expensive printing equipment. It limits the use and the type of test strips, and influences the willingness to use of the public only except few medical personnel in hospitals and clinics. Our technology can produce test strips with a cheap and small-sized device. It helps costumers to prepare their own test strips at home or a neighboring drug store. The device is under improvement to be available for producing strips with customization of detection targets in future.
Scientific Breakthrough
以壓印或轉印技術為核心,從而可以大幅度地縮小裝置的體積,並可以快速且高產量的方式生產檢測試片。尤其轉印或壓印模組能設計成多個出口以搭配多個不同試劑流路,所以更適合生產多孔型的檢測試片,以滿足單次檢測多個標的的需求。
Industrial Applicability
1.平價且使用者可以自行操作的檢測試片製造設備是市場上缺乏的,可直接取代使用者必須特意到連鎖藥房或藥妝店購買檢測試片的消費行為。更何況,針對使用者的特定需求,例如族群小的慢性疾病,或是數種不同農藥的組合,還可以量身打造,不會有需求與供應不相符的情況。
2.可取代醫療院所及檢驗單位必須向檢測試片供應商大量叫貨與庫存的現行管理方式,改為可以自行依據需求現地客製化製作所需的檢測試片,對於降低庫存管理成本以及強化現金流都非常有益。
3.因為屬於平台技術,容易吸引消費者使用,同時可以帶動周邊商品的銷售。例如在便利商店中,檢測試片可以與有湯水的料理共同搭配,以讓消費者對於所購買並食用的餐食更具信心,從而創造正向循環,拉抬料理的營業額。
