2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in vivo glucose concentration, lactic acid,
The continuous measurement of the concentration of chemical substances such as urea nitrogen was generally performed by collecting blood. These measure the concentration using a biosensor equipped with an immobilized enzyme membrane electrode,
The biosensor has a feature that it can measure with high sensitivity with a small amount of sample because it requires a small size. Therefore,
These measuring devices and measuring methods can be used in the fields of medical care, diagnosis and biochemistry, for example, in the diagnosis of diseases by measuring the concentration of organic components contained in blood, urine and the like. However, there is a problem in that the patient's pain associated with blood collection and labor on the medical side are required, and physical and mental pain such as infection and blood loss cannot be eliminated.

Recently, as a method for solving these problems, the stratum corneum of the skin is locally removed, interstitial fluid is extracted from the portion instead of blood, and the concentration of the in-vivo component is measured by a sensor using this exudate. The way to do was developed. One of these methods is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 4-341241.

In the above-described conventional leachate suction device, the leachate is sucked through the mesh portion 22, so that when the fine holes in the mesh portion 22 are filled with the leachate, the suction path is closed. As a result, it will not be possible to leach smoothly and continuously. As a result, it takes a lot of time to obtain the required leachate, and there is a problem that the efficiency of collecting leachate is poor.

For example, if the suction port 21 is depressurized to about 0.5 atmospheric pressure, the skin surface is also depressurized to 0.5 atmospheric pressure at first, so that the exudate is sucked from the skin surface. However, the exudate is gradually sucked and filled in the mesh portion 22, and since the skin surface is soft, it sticks following the rising mesh portion 22. As a result, the suction system is closed even if vacuum suction is always performed from the suction port 21, and the exhaust resistance increases. Since the pressure on the skin surface rises to a value close to 1 atm, the leaching of the exudate from the skin surface becomes extremely slow. In addition, a sealing failure occurs between the suction cell body 20 and the skin surface, causing leakage, and air bubbles are mixed in the exudate, resulting in an increase in the apparent collection amount, but when the dilution is measured, the dilution ratio becomes uneven. There was a problem. Problems such as lack of time when measuring a blood glucose load test with a fixed collection time or measurement of diurnal fluctuation, enzyme reaction not being constant due to the effect of bubbles, and the amount of exudate being insufficient, resulting in poor measurement accuracy was there.

The suction by the external suction cell 1 is not hindered, and the leaching of the exudate is continued. On the contrary, if the skin surface rises too much, subcutaneous bleeding may occur, but the bleeding is supposed to be suppressed by pressing with the mesh portion 7.

Even when the leachate is diluted and measured at a fixed dilution ratio, the sampling time is shortened, and stable and highly accurate measurement can be performed. Conventionally, the flow path is not blocked by the exudate or the swelling of the skin unlike the case where the exudate is suctioned and extracted from the skin surface at the same time through the nylon mesh.

The retention volume of the exudate in the part 6 can be reduced to 20 μl or less. In the mesh unit 7 of the above-described embodiment, 10
While it has a large volume of about 0 μl, it has an advantage that the recovery rate of the leachate is significantly increased, which is much less.

Although the material of the mesh portion 7 of FIG. 1 and the spacer 17 of FIG. 2 is limited to nylon mesh and stainless steel, the material is not limited to nylon mesh and has the same performance.
For example, nickel, a polymer material, or an injection molding material may be used.
In any case, the formation of the extraction port 16, the flow path groove 15, etc. is relatively easy to mass-produce, so that it can be realized at a low price.

As described above, the present invention is a dual structure suction cell in which an internal suction cell is incorporated in an external suction cell,
By alternately performing the steps of sucking the exudate in the external suction cell and extracting the exudate in the internal suction cell, the exudate in the exuded exudate extraction member can be efficiently delivered to the suction port side, and vacuum suction is performed. Medium, there is an effect that the leachate can always be collected at a constant leach rate. Further, when the in vivo component concentration of the exudate is continuously measured, there is an effect that the component concentration of the exudate can be accurately measured in a short time.
