Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of sample analysis, in particular to a sample analysis device and a sample scheduling method. BACKGROUND

[0002] In clinical examination, biochemical analysis and immunoassay are often involved to examine and analyze analytes and other indicators in serum, plasma and other human body fluids.

[0003] For patients with acute symptoms and complex conditions who first visit the emergency department, the examination of emergency samples in the examination and analysis system is an important part of emergency medical care. Adequate emergency examination items and accurate and timely examination reports can provide important protection for effective treatment of emergency patients within the golden time window.

[0004] The existing examination instrument (such as a sample analyzer) will transport samples in advance to the vicinity of the sample suction site of the examination instrument during testing in order to ensure the continuity of testing. The number of samples transported in advance is determined according to the priority of the samples and the number of test items pre-arranged by the examination instrument. In consideration of factors such as not affecting reagent waste, the examination instrument adopts a first-in-first-out test process, that is, the samples that enter the test track first are tested first, and after the samples transported to the vicinity of the instrument are sucked, the examination instrument responds to the subsequent sample testing. If there is a sample with a higher emergency degree that requires testing, the sample with a higher emergency degree can only wait in line until the previous sample is tested. This scheduling method can delay the testing time of the sample with a higher emergency degree, especially when the examination instrument is testing in large quantities. There are usually more samples waiting to be tested near the sample suction site of the examination instrument, which can prevent samples with high timeliness requirements from being transported to the sample suction site for sampling in time, and thus the sample cannot output a test report in time.

The information of the sample tube can be identified by bar code or two-dimensional code. By scanning the sample tube, the identity information of the patient from which the sample is derived and the test items of the sample to be tested can be queried. For each test item, the corresponding testing process is set in the analyzer, and the content and period of each test item are known.

[0046] It should be noted that the sample rack can be a sample rack with only one sample test tube position, which can carry only one sample test tube at a time, or a sample rack capable of placing multiple sample test tubes, which can carry multiple sample test tubes at a time. When performing a test experiment, the sample can also be sequentially sampled and tested according to the placement order of the sample tube in the sample rack.

[0047] Please refer to the embodiment shown in Figure 1 The embodiment provides a sample analysis device, which comprises an analysis system 100, a scheduling system 200 and a control device 300.

[0048] The analysis system 100 is used for testing the sample scheduled to the analysis system 100. Figure 1The analysis system 100 shown in FIG. 1 is an example of the structure of the analysis system 100, which includes a sampling mechanism 110, a reagent disk 120, a reaction disk 130, and an assay device 140. The sampling mechanism 110 is configured to draw reagents from reagent containers placed on the reagent disk 120 and add the reagents to corresponding reaction containers, and to draw samples to be detected from sample containers such as sample tubes and add the drawn samples to reaction containers placed on the reaction disk 130, so that the samples and the reagents react in the reaction containers. The sampling mechanism 110 can draw different reagents for reaction depending on the test item. In other examples, the mechanism for drawing samples and the mechanism for drawing reagents can be different mechanisms. The assay device 140 is configured to perform assays on the samples after reaction.

[0049] The dispatch system 200 includes a front-end track 220 and a sample placement module 211. The sample placement module 211 is configured to receive, store, and output samples. Typically, the sample placement module 211 is arranged side by side with the analysis system 100. In this example, the sample placement module 211 is divided into a loading area 211a and a recovery area 211c. The loading area 211a is configured to accommodate samples to be detected, and the recovery area 211c is configured to accommodate samples to be recovered after detection. As shown in FIG. 2, the loading area 211a and the recovery area 211c can be two areas arranged end to end along the Y direction. A sample rack containing samples can move in the areas of the loading area 211a or the recovery area 211c under the action of an external force. To facilitate the delivery and recovery of samples, in a preferred example, a sample delivery channel 211b is arranged between the loading area 211a and the recovery area 211c, and a recovery channel 211d is arranged at the end of the recovery area 211c away from the loading area 211a. Figure 1

[0050] The dispatch mechanism 213 is configured to dispatch samples between the front-end track 220 and the sample placement module 211, such as transporting samples in the sample delivery channel 211b to the front-end track 220 or the recovery channel 211d, or transporting samples that have been tested to the recovery channel 211d from the front-end track 220. The dispatch mechanism 213 can be, for example, a cart that can move along the Y direction.

[0051] In this example, at least one component for dispatching samples in the dispatch system 200 is referred to as a resource of the dispatch system 200, for example, a dispatch cart. When the dispatch cart is loaded with samples, the state of the dispatch cart is referred to as occupied, and when the dispatch cart is not loaded with samples, the state of the dispatch cart is referred to as idle.

[0052] ​The front track 220 is provided at the front end of the analysis system 100. The front track 220 is used to transport samples to the analysis system 100. For example, a claw is installed inside the front track 220 for moving the sample rack in a predetermined direction, thereby pushing the sample rack containing the sample to move. In this embodiment, the front track 220 includes a first track 221, a recovery track 223, and a track-changing mechanism 224. The first track 221 is provided with a pre-sample aspiration buffer 221b, a first sample aspiration position 221a, and a post-sample aspiration buffer 221c. The pre-sample aspiration buffer 221b is used to cache samples before testing. In other words, Figure 1 In the pre-sampling buffer 221b, multiple samples to be tested can be cached, and when the first sample suction position 221a is idle, they are moved toward the first sample suction position 221a in sequence, and the samples moved to the first sample suction position 221a are tested by the analysis system 100. The test of the sample includes at least one test item, and the test of each test item includes a reagent adding step and a sample suction step. The reagent adding step includes adding a reagent corresponding to the current test item into a preset reaction container, and the sample suction step includes sucking the sample and adding the reagent into the reaction container containing the reagent. The post-sampling buffer 221c is used to cache the samples after the test, and the samples in the post-sampling buffer 221c wait to enter the track changing mechanism 224. The track changing mechanism 224 is used to transport the sample from the first track 221 to the recovery track 223. For example, the track changing mechanism 224 can be a track changing trolley moving along the Y direction, thereby transferring the loaded sample rack from the end of the first track 221 ( Figure 1 The sample after testing is transported to the recovery track 223 (left end in FIG), and the recovery track 223 is used to transport the tested sample to the scheduling mechanism 213 to recover the tested sample.

[0053] It should be noted that the first sample suction position 221 a is not limited to a point or a position in a narrow sense, but may also be an area on the first track 221 .

[0054] The control device 300 is used to control the analysis system 100 and the scheduling system 200 to complete corresponding operations. At the same time, the control device 300 is also used to obtain sample information of priority test samples in the scheduling system 200.

[0055] Priority test samples are samples with high urgency, urgency, priority or importance, and the samples need to be tested first, for example, they can be emergency samples. In some embodiments, the user can select a sample that is already in the scheduling system 200 and mark the sample as a priority test sample. For example, the user marks the sample as a priority test sample by checking a box on the human-computer interaction interface connected to the control device 300 signal. In other embodiments, the injection system 210 also includes a priority injection channel 212 and a priority test confirmation module (not shown in the figure). The priority injection channel 212 is used to receive and transport samples to the scheduling mechanism 213, for example Figure 1 As shown, the priority injection channel 212 is set at the front end of the placement area 211a, and the priority injection channel 212 transports samples from right to left. The priority test confirmation module is used to receive input instructions for priority test samples and send priority information to the control module based on the input instructions. The input instructions can be input through virtual keys on the human-computer interaction interface, or through physical keys, keyboards and other peripherals. In this embodiment, after the user presses the button set at the front end of the priority injection channel 212 a prescribed number of times, the priority test confirmation module receives the input instruction. After receiving the priority information, the control device 300 will mark the first sample received by the scheduling mechanism 213 from the priority injection channel 212 as a priority test sample.

[0056] The sample information of the priority test sample may be one or more of location information, test information, and sample source information. In this embodiment, the sample information of the priority test sample is taken as the location information of the priority test sample for illustration.

[0057] After obtaining the location information of the priority test sample, the control device 300 generates a scheduling strategy according to the location information of the priority test sample, and the scheduling system 200 schedules the priority test sample according to the scheduling strategy. The priority test sample refers to a sample that needs to be tested in priority. In some scenarios, after a user marks a sample in the scheduling system 200 as a priority test sample, the marked priority test sample can have been tested and thus no longer needs to be tested. For example, after a user marks a sample in the post-sampling buffer 221c as a priority test sample, if the priority test sample needs to complete the same test items as the sample completed on the first sampling site 221a before, the priority test sample no longer needs to be tested. Conversely, if the priority test sample needs to add new test items after being marked as a priority test sample, the priority test sample needs to be tested again. In this case, the sample needs to be scheduled to the first sampling site 221a again. Since the sample moves in one direction on the first track 221, the priority test sample cannot “turn back” and can only be transported to the recycling track 223 through the track changing mechanism 224, then to the scheduling mechanism 213 through the recycling track 223, and finally scheduled to the first track 221 again.

[0058] There are many ways to determine whether a priority test sample needs to start a new test, one of which is to determine whether the priority test sample needs to start a new test according to the location information of the priority test sample. The scheduling of the sample in the sample analysis device is usually a one-way path starting from the loading area and ending at the recycling area. Taking the first sampling site 221a as a dividing point, the priority test sample before the first sampling site 221a on the one-way path needs to start a new test because it has not been tested. Typical locations on the one-way path suitable for this case include but are not limited to the pre-sampling buffer 221b or the scheduling mechanism 213 moving to the front track 220. The priority test sample after the first sampling site 221a on the one-way path can start a new test or can not start a new test (although it is a priority test sample, the test items have been completed, so it does not start a new test). Typical locations on the one-way path suitable for this case include but are not limited to the post-sampling buffer 221c, the recycling channel 211d, and the scheduling mechanism 213 moving to the recycling area 211c. In some embodiments, if the sample stays in the track changing mechanism 224 for a long time, the track changing mechanism 224 is also included. In these locations, it is further necessary to determine whether the priority test sample has new tests to be added.

[0059] In this embodiment, the location information of the priority test sample has the following cases, and in the following cases, the control device 300 generates different scheduling strategies, which are described in detail below.

[0060] In the scheduling strategies of the following cases, the control device 300 controls the analysis system 100 to suspend starting a new test on a sample other than the priority test sample.

[0061] If the priority test sample is on the first sample suction site 221a, the scheduling system 200 maintains the priority test sample at the current position, and the control device 300 controls the analysis system 100 to perform priority test on the priority test sample according to the sample test information on the first sample suction site 221a.

[0062] The sample test information in the embodiment includes the presence or absence of a sample under test. In some embodiments, the first sample suction site 221a accommodates only one sample, for example Figure 1 If the priority test sample is on the first sample suction site 221a, and there is no sample under test on the first sample suction site 221a, the control device 300 controls the analysis system 100 to perform priority test on the priority test sample, which means that the analysis system 100 directly tests the priority test sample. In other embodiments, the first sample suction site 221a accommodates at least two samples, and the analysis system 100 does not simultaneously suction the at least two samples, but moves the sampling mechanism 110 for suction within the first sample suction site 221a by a suction positioning mechanism (not shown in the figure) to suction the samples within the first sample suction site 221a. Therefore, the control device 300 controls the analysis system 100 to perform priority test on the priority test sample, which includes: if there is a sample under test on the first sample suction site 221a, determining whether the sample under test includes the priority test sample, if it includes the priority test sample, the analysis system continues to test the priority test sample, if it does not include the priority test sample, identifying the step of the sample on the first sample suction site 221a under test has been completed, if the reagent addition step has been completed, the control device 300 controls the analysis system 100 to complete the current test item of the reagent addition step, and then test the priority test sample, that is, if a test item has used a reagent, in order to avoid wasting the reagent, the analysis system 100 completes the test item, and then tests the priority test sample. If the reagent addition step has not been completed or if there is no sample under test on the first sample suction site 221a, the control device 300 controls the analysis system 100 to directly test the priority test sample.

[0063] The above-mentioned manner can ensure the test efficiency of the priority test sample and avoid wasting reagents.

[0064] If the priority test sample is not on the first sample suction site 221a, the control device 300 generates a scheduling strategy according to the sample test information on the first sample suction site 221a. The position of the priority test sample includes but is not limited to: the recycling track 223, the post-suction buffer area 221c, the sample injection system 210 or the pre-suction buffer area 221b. The scheduling strategy specifically includes: if there is a sample in test on the first sample suction site 221a, identifying that the sample on the first sample suction site 221a has completed the test step, if the reagent addition step has been completed, the analysis system 100 completes or proceeds with the current test project of the completed reagent addition step, the scheduling system 200 will prioritize the test sample to be tested to make the priority test sample complete the corresponding test on the first sample suction site 221a, that is, if a test project has used reagents, in order to avoid the waste of the reagents, the analysis system 100 will complete the test project. The above-mentioned priority scheduling of the priority test sample can start in the middle of the current test project of the completed reagent addition step, or can wait until the analysis system 100 completes the current test project of the completed reagent addition step. Specifically, if the priority test sample is located in the recycling track 223 or the post-suction buffer area 221c, the priority test sample can be transported towards the sample injection system 210 at the current test project of the completed reagent addition step, after the sample injection system 210 receives the priority test sample transported by the recycling track 223, the sample injection system 210 will concentrate resources to schedule the priority test sample towards the first track 221. If the priority test sample is located in the sample injection system 210, the sample injection system 210 will concentrate resources to schedule the priority test sample towards the first track 221 at the current test project of the completed reagent addition step. After the analysis system 100 completes the current test project of the completed reagent addition step, the scheduling system 200 will remove other samples between the priority test sample on the first track 221 and the first sample suction site 221a, and then schedule the priority test sample scheduled to the first track 221 to the first sample suction site 221a, thereby completing the corresponding test. If the priority test sample is located in the pre-suction buffer area 221b, after the analysis system 100 completes the current test project of the completed reagent addition step, the scheduling system 200 removes other samples between the priority test sample on the first track 221 and the first sample suction site 221a, and then schedules the priority test sample to the first sample suction site 221a, thereby completing the corresponding test.

[0065] If the reagent adding step is not completed or if there is no sample under test in the first sample loading site 221a, the scheduling system 200 directly schedules the priority test sample to be tested in the first sample loading site 221a. The above-mentioned direct scheduling of the priority test sample can mean that if the priority test sample is in the recycling track 223 or the post-loading buffer 221c, the priority test sample is transported towards the sample loading system 210, and after the sample loading system 210 receives the priority test sample transported by the recycling track 223, the sample loading system 210 concentrates resources to schedule the priority test sample towards the first track 221. If the priority test sample is in the sample loading system 210, the sample loading system 210 concentrates resources to schedule the priority test sample towards the first track 221. At the same time, the scheduling system 200 removes other samples between the priority test sample on the first track 221 and the first sample loading site 221a, and then schedules the priority test sample scheduled on the first track 221 to the first sample loading site 221a to complete the corresponding test. If the priority test sample is in the pre-loading buffer 221b, after the scheduling system 200 removes other samples between the priority test sample on the first track 221 and the first sample loading site 221a, the scheduling system 200 schedules the priority test sample to the first sample loading site 221a to complete the corresponding test.

[0066] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned concentration of resources of the sample loading system 210 to schedule the priority test sample includes the following steps: determining the components required by the sample loading system 210 to schedule the priority test sample, determining the occupied components among the required components, obtaining the priority of the sample currently scheduled by the occupied components, and comparing the priority of the priority test sample with the priority of the sample currently scheduled by the occupied components. If the priority of the priority test sample is higher, the scheduling of the sample by the occupied components is stopped, and then the priority test sample is scheduled. Otherwise, the priority test sample is scheduled after the occupied components are idle.

[0067] For example, it is determined that the sample loading channel 211b needs to be used first and then the scheduling mechanism 213 needs to be used to schedule the priority test sample, and currently the scheduling mechanism 213 is receiving a sample after testing from the recycling track 223. At this time, the priority of the sample received by the scheduling mechanism 213 is compared with the priority of the priority test sample. If the priority of the priority test sample is higher, the scheduling mechanism 213 stops receiving the sample after testing and transports the priority test sample instead. If the priority of the sample received by the scheduling mechanism 213 is not lower than the priority of the priority test sample, the scheduling mechanism 213 schedules the priority test sample after the sample is scheduled to the recycling channel 211d.

[0068] In the above-mentioned embodiments, how the priority test sample is tested faster in various situations is fully and comprehensively considered, thereby improving the test efficiency of the priority test sample.

[0069] As Figure 2 shown is another embodiment of the present application, which is different from Figure 1 the embodiment in that the front-end track 220 further comprises a second track 222, and only a second sample suction site 222a is provided on the second track 222, without a sample suction front buffer 221b and a sample suction rear buffer 221c. In this embodiment, the control device 300 generates a scheduling strategy according to the position information of the priority test sample, and the scheduling system 200 schedules the priority test sample according to the scheduling strategy. The position information of the priority test sample has the following cases, and in the following cases, the control device 300 generates different scheduling strategies, which will be described in detail below.

[0070] If the priority test sample is located in the sample injection system 210, the recovery track 223, or the sample suction rear buffer 221c or other above-mentioned one-way path after the first sample suction site 221a or the second sample suction site 222a (two tracks have two one-way paths), the first scheduling time and the second scheduling time are compared, wherein the first scheduling time is the calculated time for scheduling the priority test sample to the first sample suction site 221a, and the time for scheduling the priority test sample to the first sample suction site 221a, the first scheduling time includes the time for excluding the obstacles for scheduling the priority test sample to the first sample suction site 221a and scheduling to the first sample suction site 221a after excluding the obstacles. The second scheduling time is the calculated time for scheduling the priority test sample to the second sample suction site 222a, and the second scheduling time includes the time for excluding the obstacles for scheduling the priority test sample to the second sample suction site 222a and scheduling to the second sample suction site 222a after excluding the obstacles.

[0071] If the first scheduling time is less than the second scheduling time, the analysis system 100 stops starting a new test on the sample other than the priority test sample at the first sample suction site 221a, and the control device 300 generates a scheduling strategy according to the sample test information at the first sample suction site 221a, otherwise, the analysis system 100 stops starting a new test on the sample other than the priority test sample at the second sample suction site 222a, and the control device 300 generates a scheduling strategy according to the sample test information at the second sample suction site 222a. That is, this embodiment will select one of the first track 221 and the second track 222 to schedule to the corresponding sample suction site with the shortest time.

[0072] If the first track 221 is selected as the track to be dispatched for the priority test sample, the control device 300 generates a dispatch strategy according to the test information of the sample on the first sample suction site 221a, including: if there is a sample in test on the first sample suction site 221a, determining whether the sample in test includes the priority test sample, if the priority test sample is included, the analysis system continues to test the priority test sample, if the priority test sample is not included, identifying the steps completed in test of the sample on the first sample suction site 221a, if the reagent adding step is completed, the analysis system 100 dispatches the system 200 to prioritize the priority test sample during the current test project in which the reagent adding step is completed or in process, so that the priority test sample completes the corresponding test on the first sample suction site 221a, if the reagent adding step is not completed or if there is no sample in test on the first sample suction site 221a, the dispatch system 200 directly prioritizes the priority test sample, so that the priority test sample completes the corresponding test on the first sample suction site 221a. The priority dispatch of the priority test sample by the dispatch system 200 during the current test project in which the reagent adding step is completed or in process can mean that if the priority test sample is located in the recovery track 223 or the sample suction buffer area 221c, the priority test sample can be transported towards the sample inlet system 210 during the current test project in which the reagent adding step is completed or in process, after the sample inlet system 210 receives the priority test sample transported by the recovery track 223, the sample inlet system 210 concentrates resources to dispatch the priority test sample towards the first track 221. If the priority test sample is located in the sample inlet system 210, the sample inlet system 210 also concentrates resources to dispatch the priority test sample towards the first track 221 during the current test project in which the reagent adding step is completed. After the analysis system 100 completes the current test project in which the reagent adding step is completed, the dispatch system 200 removes other samples between the priority test sample on the first track 221 and the first sample suction site 221a, and then dispatches the priority test sample dispatched to the first track 221 to the first sample suction site 221a, thereby completing the corresponding test. The direct priority dispatch of the priority test sample by the dispatch system 200 has the same meaning as the direct priority dispatch in the embodiment shown in the figure, which is not described herein. Figure 1

[0073] ​If the second track 222 is selected as the track for scheduling priority test samples, the scheduling strategy and subsequent priority scheduling method generated by the control device 300 based on the sample test information at the second sample aspiration position 222a are the same as the scheduling strategy and subsequent priority scheduling method when the first track 221 is selected as the track for scheduling priority test samples. It should be noted that, if time permits and does not affect the testing of the priority test samples, the analysis system 100 can test samples on tracks that the priority test samples do not enter during the scheduling process.

[0074] If the priority test sample is currently located at the first sample aspiration position 221a or the second sample aspiration position 222a, the scheduling system 200 maintains the priority test sample at the current position, and the control device 300 controls the analysis system 100 to perform priority testing on the priority test sample based on the sample test information at the sample aspiration position where the priority test sample is located. Specifically, it may include: if there is a sample under test at the sample aspiration position where the priority test sample is located, determining whether the sample under test includes the priority test sample; if the priority test sample is included, the analysis system continues to test the priority test sample; if the priority test sample is not included, identifying the steps that have been completed in the test of the sample at the sample aspiration position where the priority test sample is located; if the reagent addition step has been completed, the analysis system 100 is controlled to complete the current test item that has completed the reagent addition step, and then test the priority test sample. That is to say, if a test item has already used reagents, in order to avoid wasting the reagents, the analysis system 100 will complete this test item before testing the priority test sample. If the reagent adding step is not completed or if there is no sample under test at the sample aspiration position where the priority test sample is located, the control analysis system 100 directly tests the priority test sample. Figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, the processing method and concept when the priority test sample is located at the first sample aspirating position 221 a is the same.

[0075] If the priority test sample is currently in the pre-sampling buffer 221b, then Figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, the scheduling strategy when the priority test sample is located in the pre-sample absorption buffer 221b is the same. It is based on the sample test information on the first sample absorption position 221a to determine whether to schedule directly, schedule after completing the current test item, or schedule during the test item. It will not be repeated here.

[0076] In this embodiment, the sampling system 210 concentrates resources to schedule the priority test samples in the same manner as Figure 1 The embodiments shown are identical.

[0077] The present invention also provides a sample scheduling method applied to a sample analysis device, such as Figure 3As shown, comprising steps of:

[0078] Step 1000, obtaining sample information of a priority test sample.

[0079] The priority test sample is a sample with high emergency, urgency, priority or importance, for example, it can be an emergency sample. The sample information of the priority test sample can be one or more of position information, test information and sample source information. In this embodiment, the sample information of the priority test sample is taken as an example to illustrate the position information of the priority test sample. In some embodiments, the sample analysis device comprises a priority sample channel 212 and a priority test confirmation module (not shown in the figure), the priority sample channel 212 is used to receive and transport samples, and the priority test confirmation module is used to receive an input instruction of the priority test sample and send priority information based on the input instruction. The input instruction can be input through a virtual button on a human-computer interaction interface, or can be input through an external device such as a physical button or a keyboard. In this embodiment, after the user presses the button arranged at the front end of the priority sample channel 212 for a specified number of times, the priority test confirmation module receives the input instruction. After receiving the priority information, the first sample received from the priority sample channel 212 is marked as a priority test sample.

[0080] Step 2000, generating a scheduling strategy according to the sample information of the priority test sample, and performing priority scheduling on the priority test sample according to the scheduling strategy to complete corresponding tests. The priority test sample is a sample that needs to be tested in priority.

[0081] In this embodiment, the sample analysis device is taken as an example to illustrate step 2000. Figure 1 The sample analysis device shown in the figure is taken as an example to illustrate step 2000. Figure 1The sample analysis apparatus shown includes a dispatch system 200. The dispatch system 200 includes a front-end track 220 and a sample loading system 210. The sample loading system 210 includes a sample placement module 211 for receiving, storing and outputting samples, and a dispatch mechanism 213 for dispatching samples between the front-end track 220 and the sample placement module 211. In this embodiment, at least one component in the dispatch system 200 for dispatching samples is referred to as a resource of the dispatch system 200, for example, the resource of the dispatch system 200 includes a dispatch cart, when the dispatch cart is loaded with a sample, the state of the dispatch cart is referred to as occupied, and when the dispatch cart is not loaded with a sample, the state of the dispatch cart is referred to as idle. The front-end track 220 is used to transport samples for testing, and the front-end track 220 includes a first track 221, a recovery track 223 and a track changing mechanism 224. The first track 221 is provided with a sample pre-buffer 221b, a first sample suction site 221a and a sample post-buffer 221c in sequence. The sample pre-buffer 221b is used to buffer samples before testing. The first sample suction site 221a is a position for testing samples, and the testing of samples includes at least one test item. Each test item includes a reagent adding step and a sample suction step. The reagent adding step includes adding a reagent corresponding to the current test item into a preset reaction container. The sample suction step includes sucking a sample and adding the reagent into the reaction container containing the reagent. The sample post-buffer 221c is used to buffer samples after testing, and the samples in the sample post-buffer 221c wait to enter the track changing mechanism 224. The track changing mechanism 224 is used to transport samples from the first track 221 to the recovery track 223. For example, the track changing mechanism 224 can be a track changing cart moving along the Y direction, thereby transporting the loaded sample rack from the end (left end) of the first track 221 to the recovery track 223. The recovery track 223 is used to transport the tested samples to the dispatch mechanism 213 to recover the tested samples. It should be noted that the first sample suction site 221a is not limited to a point or a narrow position, but can also be a region on the first track 221. Figure 1

[0082] ​There are many ways to determine whether a priority test sample needs to start a new test. One of the ways is to confirm whether the sample needs to start a new test based on the position information of the priority test sample. The scheduling of samples in the sample analysis device is usually a one-way path with the placement area as the starting point and the recovery area as the end point. With the first sample suction position 221a as the dividing point, the priority test samples before the first sample suction position 221a on the one-way path have not been tested yet, so they need to start a new test. Typical positions on the one-way path that are suitable for this situation include but are not limited to: the buffer area 221b before the sample suction or the scheduling mechanism 213 that is moving toward the front track 220. The priority test samples after the first sample suction position 221a on the path may need to start a new test, or may not start a new test (although they are priority samples, new tests will not be started if all test items are completed). Typical positions on the unidirectional path applicable to this situation include but are not limited to: the post-sample suction buffer 221c, the recovery channel 211d, and the scheduling mechanism 213 moving to the recovery area 211c. In some embodiments, if the sample stays in the track changing mechanism 224 for a long time, the track changing mechanism 224 is also included. At these positions, it is necessary to further determine whether there is an additional new test for the priority test sample.

[0083] based on Figure 1 The sample analysis device shown, such as Figure 4 As shown, step 2000 specifically includes:

[0084] Step 2100: Stop starting new tests on samples other than the priority test samples.

[0085] Step 2110 , determining whether the priority test sample is located at the first sample aspirating position 221 a ; if so, executing step 2120 ; otherwise, executing step 2140 .

[0086] Step 2120: Maintain the priority test sample at the current position.

[0087] Step 2130 : Perform a priority test on the priority test sample according to the sample test information on the first sample aspirating position 221 a .

[0088] The sample test information in this embodiment includes the presence or absence of a sample under test. In some embodiments, the first sample aspirating position 221a only accommodates one sample. If the priority test sample is on the first sample aspirating position 221a, then there must be no sample under test on the first sample aspirating position 221a. In this case, the priority test sample is tested first, that is, the priority test sample is directly tested. In other embodiments, the first sample aspirating position 221a accommodates at least two samples, and the at least two samples are not sampled simultaneously. Figure 5As shown, step 2130 specifically includes:

[0089] Step 2131, determine whether there is a sample in test on the first sample suction site 221a, if there is a sample in test, execute step 2132, if there is no sample in test, execute step 2136.

[0090] Step 2132, determine whether the sample in test includes a priority test sample, if it includes a priority test sample, execute step 2133, if it does not include a priority test sample, execute step 2134.

[0091] Step 2133, continue testing the priority test sample.

[0092] Step 2134, identify the step of the sample on the first sample suction site 221a that has been completed in test, if the reagent addition step has been completed, execute step 2135, otherwise, execute step 2136.

[0093] Step 2135, complete the test item of the current completed reagent addition step, and then test the priority test sample.

[0094] That is, if a test item has used a reagent, in order to avoid wasting the reagent, the test item is completed, and then the priority test sample is tested.

[0095] Step 2136, directly test the priority test sample.

[0096] Through the above consideration of the sample test information, the test efficiency of the priority test sample can be ensured, and the waste of reagents can be avoided.

[0097] Step 2140, generate a scheduling strategy according to the sample test information on the first sample suction site 221a.

[0098] The position of the priority test sample in step 2140 includes but is not limited to: located in the recycling track 223, the sample suction buffer area 221c, the sample injection system 210 or the sample suction buffer area 221b. For example, Figure 6 As shown, step 2140 specifically includes:

[0099] Step 2141, determine whether there is a sample in test on the first sample suction site 221a, if there is a sample in test, execute step 2142, if there is no sample in test, execute step 2144.

[0100] Step 2142, identify the step of the sample on the first sample suction site 221a that has been completed in test, if the reagent addition step has been completed, execute step 2143, otherwise, execute step 2144.

[0101] Step 2143, when the current test item of the reagent adding step is completed or being completed, the priority test sample is preferentially dispatched to make the priority test sample complete the corresponding test in the first sample suction site 221a.

[0102] That is, if a test item has used reagent, in order to avoid the waste of the reagent, the test item is completed.

[0103] In this step, the priority test sample is preferentially dispatched, which can be started in the process of the current test item of the reagent adding step being completed, or can be started after the current test item of the reagent adding step is completed. Specifically, if the priority test sample is in the recycling track 223 or the sample suction buffer area 221c, when the current test item of the reagent adding step is completed or being completed, the priority test sample is transported towards the sample feeding system 210, and after the sample feeding system 210 receives the priority test sample transported by the recycling track 223, the sample feeding system 210 concentrates resources to dispatch the priority test sample towards the first track 221. If the priority test sample is in the sample feeding system 210, when the current test item of the reagent adding step is completed or being completed, the sample feeding system 210 concentrates resources to dispatch the priority test sample towards the first track 221. After the current test item of the reagent adding step is completed, the dispatching system 200 removes other samples between the priority test sample on the first track 221 and the first sample suction site 221a, and then dispatches the priority test sample on the first track 221 to the first sample suction site 221a to complete the corresponding test. If the priority test sample is in the sample suction buffer area 221b, after the current test item of the reagent adding step is completed, the dispatching system 200 removes other samples between the priority test sample on the first track 221 and the first sample suction site 221a, and then dispatches the priority test sample to the first sample suction site 221a to complete the corresponding test.

[0104] Step 2144, the priority test sample is directly preferentially dispatched to make the priority test sample complete the corresponding test in the first sample suction site 221a.

[0105] The direct prioritized scheduling of the prioritized test sample in this step refers to that if the prioritized test sample is located in the recycling track 223 or the post-sampling buffer 221c, the prioritized test sample is transported towards the sampling system 210, and after the sampling system 210 receives the prioritized test sample transported by the recycling track 223, the sampling system 210 concentrates resources to schedule the prioritized test sample towards the first track 221. If the prioritized test sample is located in the sampling system 210, the sampling system 210 concentrates resources to schedule the prioritized test sample towards the first track 221. At the same time, the scheduling system 200 removes other samples between the prioritized test sample and the first sampling site 221a on the first track 221, and then schedules the prioritized test sample scheduled on the first track 221 to the first sampling site 221a, so as to complete the corresponding test. If the prioritized test sample is located in the pre-sampling buffer 221b, after the scheduling system 200 removes other samples between the prioritized test sample and the first sampling site 221a on the first track 221, the prioritized test sample is scheduled to the first sampling site 221a, so as to complete the corresponding test.

[0106] In some embodiments, the sampling system 210 concentrates resources to schedule the prioritized test sample, as shown in FIG. 21, which includes the following steps: Figure 7

[0107] Step 2150, determining components required for scheduling the prioritized test sample in the sampling system 210.

[0108] Step 2151, determining occupied components in the required components.

[0109] Step 2152, obtaining the priority of the sample currently scheduled by the occupied component.

[0110] Step 2153, determining whether the priority of the prioritized test sample is higher than the priority of the scheduled sample. If the priority of the prioritized test sample is higher than the priority of the scheduled sample, step 2154 is performed, otherwise, step 2155 is performed.

[0111] Step 2154, after the scheduling of the sample by the occupied component is suspended, step 2156 is performed.

[0112] Step 2155, after waiting for the occupied component to be idle, step 2156 is performed.

[0113] Step 2156, scheduling the prioritized test sample.

[0114] ​For example, if the priority test sample needs to be dispatched by the dispatch mechanism 213, and the current sample received by the dispatch mechanism 213 is from the recycling track 223, the priority of the sample received by the dispatch mechanism 213 is compared with the priority of the priority test sample. If the priority of the priority test sample is higher, the dispatch mechanism 213 stops receiving the sample and dispatches the priority test sample. If the priority of the sample received by the dispatch mechanism 213 is not lower than the priority of the priority test sample, the dispatch mechanism 213 dispatches the priority test sample after the sample is dispatched to the recycling track 223.

[0115] In the above embodiment, the priority test sample is tested faster in various situations, and the testing efficiency of the priority test sample is improved.

[0116] As shown in FIG. 1, the sample analysis device of the embodiment includes a front track 220, a sample receiving system 210, a sample analysis system 230, a recycling track 223, and a dispatch mechanism 213. Figure 2 As shown in FIG. 2, the sample analysis device of another embodiment of the present application is different from the sample analysis device of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 in that the front track 220 further includes a second track 222, and the second track 222 has only a second sample receiving site 222a, but does not have a sample receiving pre-buffer 221b and a sample receiving post-buffer 221c. Figure 1 As shown in FIG. 2, the sample analysis device of another embodiment of the present application is different from the sample analysis device of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 in that the front track 220 further includes a second track 222, and the second track 222 has only a second sample receiving site 222a, but does not have a sample receiving pre-buffer 221b and a sample receiving post-buffer 221c. Figure 2 As shown in FIG. 2, the sample analysis device of another embodiment of the present application is different from the sample analysis device of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 in that the front track 220 further includes a second track 222, and the second track 222 has only a second sample receiving site 222a, but does not have a sample receiving pre-buffer 221b and a sample receiving post-buffer 221c.

[0117] If the priority test sample is located in the sample receiving system 210, the recycling track 223, or the sample receiving post-buffer 221c or other above-mentioned one-way path after the first sample receiving site 221a or the second sample receiving site 222a (two tracks have two one-way paths), the first dispatch time and the second dispatch time are compared, wherein the first dispatch time is the calculated time for dispatching the priority test sample to the first sample receiving site 221a, the time for dispatching the priority test sample to the first sample receiving site 221a, and the first dispatch time includes the time for removing the obstacle for dispatching the priority test sample to the first sample receiving site 221a and the time for dispatching to the first sample receiving site 221a after removing the obstacle. The second dispatch time is the calculated time for dispatching the priority test sample to the second sample receiving site 222a, and the second dispatch time includes the time for removing the obstacle for dispatching the priority test sample to the second sample receiving site 222a and the time for dispatching to the second sample receiving site 222a after removing the obstacle.

[0118] If the first scheduling duration is less than the second scheduling duration, the initiation of new tests on samples other than the priority samples at the first sampling position 221a is aborted, and a scheduling strategy is generated based on the sample test information at the first sampling position 221a. Conversely, the initiation of new tests on samples other than the priority samples at the second sampling position 222a is aborted, and a scheduling strategy is generated based on the sample test information at the second sampling position 222a. In other words, this embodiment selects a track between the first track 221 and the second track 222 that has the shortest scheduling time to the corresponding sampling position.

[0119] If the first track 221 is selected as the track for scheduling the priority test samples, a scheduling strategy may be generated according to steps 2141 to 2144 , and the priority test samples may be scheduled according to the scheduling strategy.

[0120] If the second track 222 is selected as the track for scheduling priority test samples, the first sample suction position 221a involved in steps 2141 to 2144 can be replaced with the second sample suction position 222a, and the first track 221 involved can be replaced with the second track 222 to generate a scheduling strategy, and the priority test samples can be scheduled according to the scheduling strategy.

[0121] If the priority test sample is currently located at the first sample aspiration position 221a or the second sample aspiration position 222a, the scheduling system 200 maintains the priority test sample at its current position and performs a priority test on the priority test sample based on the sample test information at the sample aspiration position where the priority test sample is located. When the priority test sample is at the first sample aspiration position 221a, steps 2131 to 2134 may be executed to complete the testing of the priority test sample. When the priority test sample is at the second sample aspiration position 222a, the first sample aspiration position 221a involved in steps 2131 to 2134 may be replaced with the second sample aspiration position 222a, and the first track 221 involved in steps 2131 to 2134 may be replaced with the second track 222, thereby completing the testing of the priority test sample.

[0122] If the priority test sample is currently in the pre-sampling buffer 221b, then Figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, the scheduling strategy when the priority test sample is located in the pre-sample absorption buffer 221b is the same. It is based on the sample test information on the first sample absorption position 221a to determine whether to schedule directly, schedule after completing the current test item, or schedule during the test item. It will not be repeated here.

[0123] In the above embodiment, the scheduling strategy for priority test samples at different locations is fully and comprehensively considered. In addition to the test speed, the test cost is also taken into account in the scheduling strategy, thus meeting various requirements for priority test samples.

[0124] The above application of specific examples to illustrate the present invention, is only used to help understand the present invention, and does not limit the present invention. For the skilled in the art to which the present invention belongs, according to the idea of the present invention, several simple deductions, deformation or replacement can be made.
