Embodiment Construction

[0085] Referring initially to Figures 1 and 2, in the illustrated embodiment, a preparation device 1 for analysis of a whole blood sample according to the present invention comprises a work surface 2 defining and distributing a plurality of areas for processing 3 blood samples, each test tube has an identification device 8 for identifying the sample contained therein, and each test tube is hermetically closed by a plug 3a. The working surface 2 is covered by a protective and isolating enclosure 4 comprising openings 4a, 4b and 4c to provide access to specific areas of the equipment and also an automatic control 5 for the equipment. The automatic controller is connected to an input keypad 5a and a touch sensitive screen 5b to allow the operator to communicate with the device through a man-machine interface.

[0086] In a variant, a computer as an auxiliary device of said device and connected to said device constitutes said automatic controller in a manner well known to those sk...

Abstract

The invention concerns a method for preparing total blood sample analyses and a device (1) for implementing said method, said samples being preserved in tubes (3) comprising at least one means for identifying (8) the sample, said device comprising: at least one compartment forming the storage zone (6, 11, 12) for said tubes (3, 19, 23) before and after analysis, and at least one means for reading (9) said identifying means (8) of said tubes; and at least one zone for preparing (10) said blood samples prior to analysis including means (14, 15, 16, 17, 18) for verifying and / or processing said tubes (3, 19, 23) containing said samples, in particular at least one means for stirring (14) said tubes, and at least one zone for accessing (13a, 13b) at least one automatic analyzer (28, 30) on total blood, said access zone enabling one said tube (3, 19, 23) to be placed in said analyzer, and robotized gripping and displacing means (24, 25, 26, 27) controlled by a control automaton (5) and adapted to grip and set down said tubes (3, 19, 23) individually in said storage zone (6, 11, 12) and transport same in at least three directions XYZ between said storage zone, said preparation zone (10) and said access zone (13a, 13b) to said analyzer, said analyzer (28, 30) being preferably connected to and / or controlled by said control automaton (5).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing a whole blood sample for blood analysis by means of one or more automatic whole blood analyzers, and also to an automatic preparation device for carrying out said method. Background technique [0002] The present invention aims to define a solution for the automatic preparation of whole blood samples, with the aim of improving the reliability of the analysis performed by means of an automatic analyzer and also increasing the flexibility of such an analysis which can be performed by means of such an automatic analyzer, etc. . [0003] Blood analysis (hematological analysis) performed on whole blood is performed on a blood tube containing all blood components, unlike the analysis performed on serum or plasma obtained after coagulation or centrifugation of a blood sample taken from a patient. [0004] To be done correctly, this whole blood analysis requires constant agitation of the assay blood tube to thor...
