Benefits of technology

[0008] An object of the present invention is to provide an analyzer and an analytic system improved in specimen treatment efficiency while attaining downsizing of the analyzer.

Problems solved by technology

However, the downsizeable conventional analyzer disclosed in the aforementioned Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 10-170432, which is so formed as to detect light with the single array type photoreceptor, cannot simultaneously introduce light components from the terminal portions into the array type photoreceptor for performing measurement.
Therefore, the conventional analyzer disclosed in the aforementioned Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 10-170432 must introduce the light components from the terminal portions into the array-type photoreceptor with a time lag, to disadvantageously require a long time for measurement in the respective terminal portions.

Embodiment Construction

[0039] An embodiment of the present invention is now described with reference to the drawings.

[0040] The structure of an analytic system 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention is described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 12.

[0041] The analytic system 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention is a system for optically measuring and analyzing the quantities and the degrees of activity of specific substances related to a blood coagulative / fibrinolytic function, employing blood plasma as a specimen. The analytic system 1 according to this embodiment optically measures the specimen with a coagulation time method. The coagulation time method employed in this embodiment is a measuring method detecting the process of coagulation of the specimen as change of transmitted light.

[0042] The structure of the analytic system 1 can be varied with the scale of an institution where the system 1 is installed. When installed in an institution having a relatively small numbe...

Abstract

This analyzer comprises a photoirradiation portion simultaneously photoirradiating a plurality of storage vessels storing a plurality of measurement samples respectively and a plurality of photodetection portions detecting a plurality of light components resulting from simultaneous photoirradiation on the plurality of storage vessels storing the plurality of measurement samples respectively. The photoirradiation portion includes a light source, a first light guide portion branching light emitted from the light source into a plurality of light components and guiding the plurality of light components to the plurality of measurement samples respectively and a second light guide portion branching light emitted from the light source into a plurality of light components and guiding the plurality of light components to the plurality of measurement samples respectively.

Description

[0001] This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119 to Japanese Patent Application No. JP2005-193955 filed Jul. 1, 2005, the entire content of which is hereby incorporated by reference. BACKGROUND [0002] Field of the Invention [0003] The present invention relates to an analyzer and an analytic system. [0004] In biochemical analysis or blood coagulation analysis, an analyzer applies light to a sample for obtaining the quantity of transmitted light or absorbance, and analyzes the sample on the basis of this optical information. An analyzer of this type must optically measure a large number of samples at the same time. An analyzer disclosed in Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2-284064 (1990) applies light emitted from a single light source to the overall incidence end of an optical fiber bundle, thereby introducing the light emitted from the light source into the optical fiber bundle. This optical fiber bundle has a plurality of branched exit ends, for applying light component...
