Autoanalyzer and dispensing apparatus

Abstract

Disclosed is an autoanalyzer wherein the configuration is simplified by providing a mechanism which can be used in common in the inspection of respective items while ensuring the passage used for the inspection of items with a relatively large number of requests. An autoanalyzer (1a) comprises an intermediate disc (intermediate unit) (20) where a disposable container (intermediate container) (21) performing pretreatment of a sample dispensed from a sample container (11) with the pretreatment solution or reaction on a reagent is arranged, a reaction disc (main analysis unit) (60) where a reaction container (61) performing reaction of the pretreated sample and the reagent is arranged and the inspection of items with a relatively large number of requests is carried out, and flow system analysis mechanisms (sub-analysis units) (30a-30c); which carry out the inspection of items with a relatively small number of requests, i.e. the inspection of the sample reacted on the reagent in the disposable container (21). As a reagent dispensing mechanism, the pretreatment solution for use in the intermediate disc and a flow system analysis reagent dispensing mechanism, and first and second reagent dispensing mechanisms are equipped.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an automatic analysis device for automatically analyzing components such as blood, and in particular, a technology that is effectively applied to a device for performing various tests such as biochemical tests, immune serum tests, and blood coagulation tests. Background technique [0002] In clinical examinations, various pretreatments such as centrifugation, hemolysis, and B / F separation of antigen-antibody reactions in immune serum examinations are required. These pretreatments are not actually carried out in the automatic analysis device for the inspection, but are often carried out in advance by a dedicated device. [0003] A sample transport system is known as an apparatus that performs preprocessing in advance. The sample transport system uses a belt conveyor to connect the preprocessing section and a plurality of analysis devices, and the sample (sample) placed on the rack is transported to the target preprocess...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, in the case of a device with a B / F separation function, there are generally problems such as a complicated mechanism, a large device size, and a reduction in processing capacity.

In addition, when the devices are not connected through the system, each inspection is performed separately, and multiple tasks such as sample movement between devices, sample placement on the device, analysis request operation, and summary of output results are intertwined, resulting in poor efficiency.
