[0052] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. Similar elements in different embodiments are referred to by associated similar element reference numerals. In the following embodiments, many details are described to facilitate a better understanding of this application. However, those skilled in the art will readily recognize that some features may be omitted in different situations, or may be replaced by other elements, materials, or methods. In some cases, certain operations related to this application are not shown or described in the specification. This is to avoid obscuring the core parts of this application with excessive description. For those skilled in the art, detailed description of these related operations is not necessary; they can fully understand the related operations based on the description in the specification and general technical knowledge in the art.

[0053] Furthermore, the features, operations, or characteristics described in the specification can be combined in any suitable manner to form various embodiments. At the same time, the steps or actions in the method description can be rearranged or adjusted in a manner obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the various orders in the specification and drawings are only for the clear description of a particular embodiment and do not imply a necessary order, unless otherwise stated that a particular order must be followed.

[0054] The serial numbers assigned to components in this document, such as "first" and "second," are used only to distinguish the described objects and have no sequential or technical meaning. The terms "connection" and "linkage" used in this application, unless otherwise specified, include both direct and indirect connections (linkages).

[0055] The serial numbers assigned to components in this document, such as "first" and "second," are used only to distinguish the described objects and have no sequential or technical meaning. The terms "connection" and "linkage" used in this application, unless otherwise specified, include both direct and indirect connections (linkages).

[0056] The sample analysis device can be connected to a computer display screen, which is generally located on a desk, and the teacher can view the status of the sample analysis device through the computer display screen. For example, for the reagent replacement scenario, a typical reagent replacement process is as follows: the teacher views and counts the remaining test amount of the on-machine reagent on the software interface of the computer screen, records the reagent items and reagent positions to be unloaded, records the reagent types and the number of reagents to be supplemented, takes the reagents and other consumables, and then rotates the reagent disc beside the reagent carrying component such as the reagent disc to find the reagent position to be unloaded. In order to find the target reagent position, manual rotation of the reagent disc is required, which is difficult to rotate in place at one time and cannot conveniently find the reagent to be replaced. During the batch replacement process, if it is found that the reagent position is not enough, it is necessary to return to the computer to view the reagent with small remaining amount, re-record the reagent position, and return to the reagent disc to repeat the reagent loading and unloading. The traditional reagent loading, especially the reagent batch loading process, is very cumbersome, and the teacher's batch reagent replacement efficiency is low, which seriously affects the test start time of the laboratory.

[0057] The above is a single test scenario, and a system formed by cascading multiple sample analysis devices is also similar, except that these cascaded sample analysis devices are connected to a common computer display screen, and the teacher can view the status of each sample analysis device through the common computer display screen.

[0058] From the above description, it can be seen that before replacing the reagent, the operator needs to view the reagent information, operate the computer software in front of the computer display screen to find many interfaces, and then manually record the required information. When the operator replaces the reagent in front of the reagent disc, he / she needs to return to the computer display screen to operate and record the information. Therefore, during the reagent replacement process, the operator often frequently walks back and forth between the sample analysis device and the computer display screen.

[0059] A more specific example of traditional reagent batch loading is as follows: the operator needs to supplement reagents and consumables for the sample analysis device before testing every day, taking the reagent supplement as an example:

[0060] The operator first operates the software on the computer display screen to view and manually record which reagents need to be supplemented, which generally takes 15 to 20 minutes;

[0061] Then the operator goes to the reagent warehouse to take the corresponding reagents, records the opening date on the reagent container, and opens the reagent disc cover;

[0062] Then the operator checks the number of the reagent site on the reagent disk which needs to be replaced on the computer display screen or the paper recorded by the operator himself / herself, then rotates the reagent disk to the target position through the physical button beside the reagent disk, takes out the empty bottle or the reagent bottle with insufficient amount, then puts the new reagent bottle on the corresponding reagent site on the reagent disk, the reagent bottle with insufficient amount can be capped for standby, and finally covers the reagent disk, which takes about 40 to 60 minutes.

[0063] There are many pain points in the whole process, for example, there are many test items, so the operator needs to flip through quite a few pages on the computer display screen to check the reagent amount of each item and calculate the number of bottles to be supplemented; when loading the reagent, the operator needs to check the reagent site to be loaded on the reagent disk while checking the reagent supplement list recorded by himself / herself and loading the reagent; when rotating the turntable, the operator needs to constantly check the position of the reagent disk cover exposed to rotate the reagent disk through the hardware button, which is not easy to rotate the corresponding reagent site of the reagent disk to the target position at one time; in addition, in the case of multiple reagent disks, the reagent disk far from the user operation side of the sample analysis device is not easy to operate and observe.

[0064] A more specific example of the traditional online reagent loading is as follows: when the reagent is insufficient, the sample analysis device displays an alarm information through the computer display screen; then the operator checks which items have insufficient reagent and which reagents need to be supplemented through the computer display screen, and then goes to the reagent warehouse to retrieve the corresponding reagent; after retrieval, the operator issues a reagent pause command through the computer display screen, and then waits for a long period of time until the reagent disk stops after completing the current scheduled item, opens the reagent disk cover, takes out the empty bottle, places the new reagent bottle, closes the reagent disk cover, and clicks the resume test on the computer display screen.

[0065] There are also pain points in the whole process, for example, the instrument only has an interface alarm, which is not easy for the operator to find out in time; the operator needs to wait in front of the instrument for a long enough time (for example, 5-50 minutes) to open the cover for loading; after completing the loading, the user needs to click the resume test on the instrument to return to the test state.

[0066] The present application attempts to solve one or more of the above pain points to facilitate the replacement and supplement of the reagents of the sample analysis device by the teachers in the department and improve the work efficiency.

[0067] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , an embodiment of the present application provides a sample analysis system which can include a sample feeding component 10, a pretreatment module 20, a plurality of sample analysis main bodies 30 and a post-treatment module 40, and the sample analysis system can also include a computer display screen 50 or be connected with a computer display screen 50; the modules of the sample analysis system are described in detail below.

[0068] The sample introduction component 10 is used to receive and distribute samples. In a sample analysis system, the sample introduction component 10 is typically the area where the user places samples. During system operation, the sample introduction component 10 can automatically scan and sort the samples placed therein. For example, the sample introduction component 10 supplies a sample rack containing samples to be tested, thereby distributing the samples to a preset location, such as the aspiration position. In some embodiments, the sample introduction component 10 can be implemented using a sample delivery module (SDM) and a track. In the sample analysis system, the sample introduction component 10 is used to receive samples and distribute them to each sample analysis unit 30 for testing.

[0069] The pretreatment module 20 is capable of receiving samples from the sample injection unit 10 and performing pretreatment on the samples. In one embodiment, please refer to... Figure 3 The pretreatment module 20 may include one or more of the following: centrifugation module 21, serum detection module 22, decapping module 23, and dispensing module 24. Centrifugation module 21 is used to centrifuge the sample to be centrifuged; there may be one or more centrifugation modules 21. Serum detection module 22 is used to detect whether the serum volume of the sample is sufficient and / or whether the serum quality of the sample is qualified, to determine whether the centrifuged sample can be used for subsequent measurements. Decapping module 23 is used to remove the cap from the sample after centrifugation—understandably, in this document, capping, membrane application, decapping, and membrane removal refer to capping, membrane application, decapping, and membrane removal of the sample tube containing the sample; generally, the sample needs to be decapped after centrifugation for subsequent dispensing module 24 or sample analysis device 30 to aliquot or aspirate. Dispensing module 24 is used to aliquot the sample, for example, dividing one sample into multiple samples for separate delivery to the corresponding sample analysis device 30 for measurement. A typical pretreatment process for the pretreatment module 20 is as follows: the centrifugation module 21 receives the sample from the injection unit 10 and centrifuges it; the serum detection module 22 detects the serum in the centrifuged sample to determine whether it can be used for subsequent measurements. If the serum quantity is insufficient or the quality is unqualified, it cannot be used for subsequent measurements; if the test is successful, the sample is then dispatched to the cap removal module 23, which removes the cap from the sample. If there is a dispensing module 24, the dispensing module 24 dispenses the capped sample and then dispatches the dispensed sample to the corresponding sample analysis device 30 for measurement. If there is no dispensing module 24, the sample is dispatched from the cap removal module 23 to the corresponding sample analysis device 30 for measurement.

[0070] As mentioned above, the pre-processing module 20 is not necessary. For a sample analysis system without the pre-processing module 20, the sample put in the sample introduction component 10 by the user is already pre-processed and can be directly dispatched to the corresponding sample analysis device 30 for measurement through the track 50.

[0071] The sample analysis body 30 is used to test the sample. For example, the sample which has been centrifuged and uncapped by the pre-processing module 20 is tested. In order to improve efficiency and test throughput, generally, the sample analysis system will have multiple sample analysis bodies 30, which can be the same analysis module, i.e. the analysis module for measuring the same item, or different analysis modules, i.e. the analysis module for measuring different items, which can be configured according to the needs of the user and the department. In some embodiments, the sample analysis body 30 can include a housing 1, a measurement component such as a sample dispensing component 32, a reagent carrying component 33, a reagent dispensing component 34, a reaction component 35, and a measurement component 36, etc. The sample analysis body 30 can also include a processor 37, as shown in Figures 6(a) and 6(b) below. Each sample analysis body 30 is provided with a state information screen 38 fixed to the housing 1 thereof, so as to facilitate the user to view some states of the sample analysis body 30, such as state information about reagents and / or consumables. More details about the sample analysis body 30 and the state information screen 38 thereof are described below.

[0072] The post-processing module 40 is used to complete the post-processing of the sample. In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 The post-processing module 40 includes one or more of a film / cap adding module 41, a cold storage module 42, and a film / cap removing module 43. The film / cap adding module 41 is used to add film or cap to the sample; the cold storage module 42 is used to store the sample; and the film / cap removing module 43 is used to remove film or cap from the sample. A typical post-processing flow of the post-processing module 40 is as follows: after the sample is drawn in the sample analysis body 30, it is dispatched to the film / cap adding module 41, the film / cap adding module 41 adds film or cap to the measured sample, and then the sample is dispatched to the cold storage module 42 for storage. If the sample needs to be re-measured, the sample is dispatched from the cold storage module 42, and is removed from the film or cap in the film / cap removing module 43, and then is dispatched to the sample analysis body 30 for measurement.

[0073] The post-processing module 40 is also not necessary. For a sample analysis system without the post-processing module 40, the measured sample can be dispatched to a centralized recovery area, and then the user recovers the sample in the recovery area for some subsequent storage or disposal treatment, etc.

[0074] The computer display screen 50 is communicatively coupled to each of the sample analysis units 30, and an operator can view the status of each of the sample analysis units 30 via the computer display screen 50.

[0075] Referring to Figure 5 For the example of a pipeline system, each module further includes a module buffer, and the track of the sample introduction component 10 also includes a track buffer, and the entire track can be a loop track. It should be noted that many of the modules shown in the figures are singular, but one skilled in the art will appreciate that the number is not limited, for example, the centrifuge module 21 can be multiple, and the sample analysis unit 30 can also be multiple, etc.

[0076] In the sample analysis system, the status information screen 38 provided on each sample analysis unit 30 can be used to view information of the corresponding sample analysis unit 30 and / or control the corresponding sample analysis unit 30, and the computer display screen 50 can be used to view information of all sample analysis units 30 and / or control all sample analysis units 30.

[0077] In some embodiments, the processor 37 of each sample analysis unit 30 can execute corresponding instructions in response to operation of the computer display screen 50, and each sample analysis unit 30 can also execute corresponding instructions in response to operation of the status information screen 38 thereof. In other words, an operator can issue commands to each sample analysis unit 30 via the computer display screen 50, and the operator can also issue commands to the corresponding sample analysis unit 30 via the status information screen 38.

[0078] In some embodiments, the processor 37 of each sample analysis unit 30 can obtain status information of the sample analysis unit 30, generate first type of display data and second type of display data, and transmit the first type of display data to the computer display screen 50 for display and transmit the second type of display data to the status information screen 38 of the sample analysis unit 30 for display. Thus, an operator can view the status information of each sample analysis unit 30 via the computer display screen 50, and can also view the status information of the sample analysis unit 30 in front of the operator via the status information screen 38 on the housing of the sample analysis unit 30. In some embodiments, the first type of display data contains more information than the second type of display data. Specifically, the first type of display data can contain at least sample information, reagent status information, consumable status information, calibration information, quality control information, test result information, and maintenance information, and the second type of display data can contain reagent status information, and further, the second type of display data can also contain consumable information.

[0079] In terms of specific communication connection mode, the processor 37 of the sample analysis body 30 can be connected with the state information screen 38 on the shell 1 of the sample analysis body 30 through a wired mode to perform data transmission; the processor 37 of the sample analysis body 30 can be connected with the computer display screen 50 through a wired mode to perform data transmission.

[0080] In terms of specific mechanical structure and position arrangement, the state information screen 38 on the shell 1 of the sample analysis body 30 can be arranged near the reagent carrying component 33 of the sample analysis body 30. The computer display screen 50 can be arranged on the sample feeding component 10, for example, the sample feeding component 10 has a shell, generally, the shell can form a "carrying table", for example, the upward surface of the sample feeding component 10; therefore, the computer display screen 50 can be arranged or placed on the shell of the upward surface of the sample feeding component 10, and then connected with the processor 37 of each sample analysis body 30 through a cable in a wired mode, or the computer display screen 50 can be arranged on the shell of the sample feeding component 10 through a mechanical arm or a support and the like.

[0081] As understood by those skilled in the art, for a sample analysis system, generally, each sample analysis body has a processor, for example, the processor 37 mentioned herein; in some other examples, the sample analysis system can have an additional processor for processing some work of the sample analysis system and controlling the computer display screen 50 and the like; or in some examples, the computer display screen 50 can be configured and have a processor; in some examples, the state information screen 38 can be configured and have a processor. Each sample analysis body 30 in the sample analysis system can also be used offline or separately, which is a single field scenario.

[0082] The sample analysis device is described below.

[0083] Please refer to FIG. 6(a) and FIG. 6(b), some embodiments disclose a sample analysis device which can include a sample feeding component 10 and a sample analysis body 30, the sample analysis body 30 includes a shell 1 and determination components such as a sample feeding component 10, a sample dispensing component 32, a reagent carrying component 33, a reagent dispensing component 34, a reaction component 35 and a determination component 36 and the like; the sample analysis body 30 further includes a processor 37. In some embodiments, the sample analysis device can further include a computer display screen 50; or the sample analysis device is externally connected with a computer display screen 50. The sample analysis device can further include a state information screen 38. Details are described below.

[0084] The sample feeding component 10 is used to dispatch samples as described above. For example, the sample feeding component 10 is used to supply a sample rack carrying a sample to be tested, so as to dispatch the sample to be fed to a preset position, for example, a sample suction position.

[0085] The sample dispensing component 32 is used to suck the sample on the sample suction component 10 and dispense or inject the sample into the reaction cup. In some embodiments, the sample dispensing component 32 can include a sample needle which is driven by a two-dimensional or three-dimensional driving mechanism to move in two-dimensional or three-dimensional directions. In some embodiments, the sample needle can be one or more. In an embodiment, the sample dispensing component 32 completes the whole action flow of one sample dispensing as follows: moving to a sample suction position to suck the sample, moving to a corresponding cleaning position to clean the outer wall, moving to a sample dispensing position to dispense the sucked sample to the reaction cup at the sample dispensing position, and finally moving to a corresponding cleaning position to clean the inner and outer walls, for example, to clean the sample dispensing component 32.

[0086] The reagent carrying component 33 has a plurality of reagent positions for carrying reagents. In some embodiments, the reagent carrying component 33 can provide refrigeration or the like for the carried reagents, for example, to maintain the temperature between 2 to 16 degrees Celsius, so as to ensure the activity of the reagents. Specifically, the reagent carrying component 33 is used to maintain the temperature therein within the range required by the reagent instruction manual. In order to ensure the refrigeration effect, the reagent carrying component 33 can be a closed structure, for example, the reagent carrying component 33 can be provided with a lid which can be opened to achieve heat preservation. The reagent carrying component 33 can have a reagent presence detector for detecting whether the reagent position carries a reagent container.

[0087] In some embodiments, the reagent carrying component 33 can be a disc-shaped structure or a linear structure. For the convenience of description, the reagent carrying component 33 in a disc-shaped structure will be referred to as a reagent disc 33. The reagent disc 33 is in a disc-shaped structure and can rotate to drive the reagents carried thereby to rotate. Through the rotation of the reagent disc 33, the reagents can be rotated to a reagent suction position for the reagent dispensing component 34 to suck. The reagent disc 33 can have a reagent disc lid 33c which can be opened, and when the reagent disc lid 33c is opened, the user can put or take out the reagents from the reagent disc 33. Please refer to FIG. 7(a) and FIG. 7(b) which are schematic diagrams of the reagent disc 33 with the reagent disc lid opened and closed.

[0088] In some embodiments, the reagent disk 33 comprises at least one reagent track 33a rotatable to move the reagent containers on the reagent track 33a, e.g. as shown in Figs. 8(a) and 8(b). In some embodiments, the reagent disk 33 comprises a plurality of reagent tracks 33a, each of which is rotatable independently. Fig. 8(a) shows an example of a reagent disk 33 comprising one reagent track 33a, and Fig. 8(b) shows an example of a reagent disk 33 comprising two reagent tracks 33a rotatable independently. The reagent track 33a is rotatable to move the reagent containers carried thereby, so as to rotate the reagent containers to the reagent suction sites for the reagent dispensing member 34 to suck the reagent. The reagent disk 33 will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0089] In some embodiments, the reagent disk 33 comprises one reagent track 33a, and the reagent sites 33b of the reagent track 33a are configured to hold the reagent coupling cup 91, each of which comprises one or more cavities for holding the reagent required for the test of the item, and one reagent is held in one cavity. The reagent disk 33 comprises a corresponding driving assembly for driving the reagent track 33a to rotate, and the driving assembly drives the reagent track 33a to rotate so as to rotate the cavities of the reagent coupling cup 91 holding the reagent required for the test of the item to the corresponding reagent suction sites. In one example, the reagent coupling cup 91 comprises at least a first cavity 91a for holding a first reagent and a second cavity 91b for holding a second reagent, e.g. the reagent coupling cup 91 comprises at least a first cavity 91a for holding a mixing reagent (referred to as Rl) and a second cavity 91b for holding a trigger reagent (referred to as R2). The reagent disk 33 comprises a first reagent suction site and a second reagent suction site different from the first reagent suction site, and the reagent track 33a is driven to rotate so as to rotate the reagent coupling cup 91 to rotate the first cavity 91a of the reagent coupling cup 91 to the first reagent suction site, and the reagent track 33a is driven to rotate so as to rotate the reagent coupling cup 91 to rotate the second cavity 91b to the second reagent suction site. It is appreciated that the first reagent suction site and the second reagent suction site are both within the scope of the reagent suction sites herein.

[0090] Referring to FIG. 8(b), in some embodiments, the reagent disk 33 comprises two rings of 33a that can rotate independently, such as the inner ring of 33a and the outer ring of 33a in the figure. The reagent sites 33b of the outer ring of 33a can be used to carry the first reagent container; the reagent sites 33b of the outer ring of 33a can be used to carry the second reagent container. The reagent disk 33 comprises a corresponding driving assembly for driving the rotation of the outer ring of 33a, which drives the rotation of the first reagent container to rotate the first reagent container to the first reagent suction site; the reagent disk 33 also comprises a corresponding driving assembly for driving the rotation of the inner ring of 33a, which drives the rotation of the second reagent container to rotate the second reagent container to the second reagent suction site. It can be understood that the first reagent container and the second reagent container herein are both within the scope of the reagent container herein.

[0091] The above describes two structures of the reagent disk 33, such as FIG. 7(a) is an example of placing the reagent coupling cup 91, and FIG. 7(b) is an example of implementing the reagent disk 33 through multiple rings of 33a that can rotate independently, and those skilled in the art can understand that the reagent disk 33 can also be implemented through multiple rings of 33a that can rotate independently in combination with the two ways, and the reagent sites 33b of at least one ring of 33a or each ring of 33a can be used to place the reagent coupling cup 91, such as Figure 9 For example, the reagent sites 33b of the inner ring of 33a and the outer ring of 33a can be used to place the reagent coupling cup 91. By placing all kinds of reagents required for a test item in the same reagent coupling cup 91, the management of reagents can be facilitated. Of course, in other embodiments, the needle washing liquid and the dilution liquid and other in-disk consumables can be placed in the inner ring of 33a, and the main reagents for testing, such as the mixed reagent and the trigger reagent mentioned above, can be placed in the outer ring of 33a.

[0092] The reagent disk 33 can be one, which can be separately arranged outside the reaction component 35. In other embodiments, the reagent disk 33 can also be multiple, such as two reagent disks 33. In some examples of two reagent disks 33, one reagent disk 33 can be used to specifically carry the mixed reagent R1, and the other reagent disk 33 can be used to specifically carry the trigger reagent R2.

[0093] The above is some description of the reagent disk 33. The reagent disk 33 can rotate the corresponding reagents required for a test item and dispatch them to the corresponding reagent suction sites of the reagent dispensing component 34 through rotation during a working cycle, such as dispatching the first reagent to the first reagent suction site and dispatching the second reagent to the second reagent suction site.

[0094] The reagent dispensing component 34 is used to suck reagent and discharge it into the reaction cup at the reagent adding position. In an embodiment, the reagent dispensing component 34 includes one or more reagent needles. In an embodiment, the reagent dispensing component 34 completes the whole action flow of one reagent adding or dispensing as follows: moving to the reagent sucking position to suck reagent, then moving to the corresponding washing position to perform outer wall washing, then moving to the reagent adding position to discharge the sucked reagent into the reaction cup at the reagent adding position, and finally moving to the corresponding washing position to perform inner and outer wall washing. In an embodiment, when the reagent needle is arranged to continuously suck multiple reagents and then discharge them together, the reagent needle is controlled to continuously perform multiple reagent sucking operations to suck the required multiple reagents; wherein during the process of sucking the required multiple reagents, after completing one reagent sucking operation and before starting the next reagent sucking operation, the reagent needle is washed on the outer wall.

[0095] As can be understood by those skilled in the art, in order to prevent cross contamination in testing, the sample analysis device generally has corresponding washing components for washing the sample needle and the reagent needle, etc. The washing components can be implemented using existing structures, and no additional description is provided herein.

[0096] The reaction component 35 is used to incubate the mixed solution formed by the sample and the reagent in the reaction cup. In some embodiments, the reaction component 35 is arranged in a disc structure, and the reaction component 35 has multiple placement positions for placing the reaction cup. The reaction component 35 can rotate and drive the reaction cup in the placement position to rotate, for scheduling the reaction cup in the reaction disc. The sample adding position, the reagent adding position, and the measuring position, etc. mentioned herein can be the placement positions in the reaction component 35, that is, the sample adding position, the reagent adding position, the mixing position, and the measuring position, etc. are arranged in the reaction component 35.

[0097] In some embodiments, the reaction component 35 can include an inner ring part and an outer ring part that can rotate independently or together. The inner ring part includes one or more tracks, and each track is provided with multiple placement positions for incubating the reaction cup and scheduling the reaction cup between the placement positions in the inner ring part. The outer ring part includes one or more tracks, and each track is provided with multiple placement positions for scheduling the reaction cup between the placement positions in the outer ring part. FIG. 6(b) shows the outer ring part with one track, and the inner ring part with three tracks.

[0098] The measuring component 36 is used to measure the incubated mixed solution. For example, the measuring component 36 is used to measure the reaction solution in the reaction cup at the measuring position after incubation, to obtain the test result. In some embodiments, the measuring component 36 can be a light measuring type measuring unit, which can detect the luminescence intensity of the mixed solution to be measured, and calculate the concentration of the component to be measured in the sample through a calibration curve, etc. In some embodiments, the measuring component 36 can be arranged separately outside the reaction component 35.

[0099] Since the computer display screen 50 is generally located on the office table, it is not very convenient for the operator to view and operate the sample analysis device through the computer display screen 50 from the perspective of the operator, and there is a certain distance from the sample analysis body 30. In view of this situation, the present application also introduces a state information screen 38 in the sample analysis device, so as to facilitate the operator to view and / or operate the sample analysis device.

[0100] In the sample analysis device, at least two screens are introduced to view the state information of the sample analysis device and / or control the sample analysis device. Specifically, the functions and roles of the computer display screen 50 and the state information screen 38 can be configured as follows.

[0101] In some embodiments, the processor 37 can execute corresponding instructions in response to the operation of the computer display screen 50 and the state information screen 38. The computer display screen 50 and the state information screen 38 can share one processor 37. The operator can give the sample analysis body 30 an order by operating the computer display screen 50, and the operator can also give the sample analysis body 30 an order through the state information screen 38.

[0102] In some embodiments, the processor 37 obtains the state information of the sample analysis device and generates first type display data and second type display data, and transmits them to the computer display screen 50 and the state information screen 38 respectively for corresponding display. In some embodiments, the first type display data contains more information than the second type display data. Specifically, the first type display data can at least contain sample information, reagent state information, consumable state information, calibration information, quality control information, test result information and maintenance information; the second type display data can contain reagent state information, and further, the second type display data can also contain consumable information.

[0103] In terms of specific communication connection mode, the processor 37 of the sample analysis body 30 can be connected with the state information screen 38 through a wired mode for data transmission; the processor 37 of the sample analysis body 30 can be connected with the computer display screen 50 through a wired mode for data transmission.

[0104] In a specific mechanical structure and position arrangement, the state information screen 38 can be arranged near the reagent carrying component 33 of the sample analysis main body 30. The computer display screen 50 can be arranged on the sample feeding component 10, for example, the sample feeding component 10 has a housing, generally, the housing can form a "carrying platform", for example, the upward surface of the sample feeding component 10; therefore, the computer display screen 50 can be arranged or placed on the housing of the upward surface of the sample feeding component 10, and then connected to the processor 37 of the sample analysis main body 30 through a cable, or the computer display screen 50 can be arranged on the housing of the sample feeding component 10 through a mechanical arm or a support, etc.

[0105] The above is some description of the computer display screen 50 and the state information screen 38, and the two will be further described below.

[0106] In an embodiment, the state information screen 38 can also be wirelessly connected to the processor 37 of the sample analysis main body 30, and the two can perform wireless data communication; at this time, the state information screen can be held in the hand of the operator, and a use scenario can be that the user holds the state information screen 38 and stands in front of the sample analysis main body 30 to view and / or operate information, etc.

[0107] As described above, in an embodiment, the state information screen 38 can be fixedly arranged on the housing 1 of the sample analysis main body 30. In order to facilitate the user to view and operate, the state information screen 38 can be arranged on the side of the housing where the user operates the sample analysis main body 30, and further, the state information screen 38 can be arranged near the reagent carrying component 33.

[0108] The above is the description of the position and connection mode of the state information screen 38. The information displayed by the state information screen will be described below.

[0109] Generally, the computer display 50 displays more information than the status information screen 38, the computer display 50 can acquire more information of the sample analysis device and display, and the status information screen 38 introduced in the present application is more targeted in information display. Therefore, in some embodiments, the processor 37 acquires the status information of the sample analysis device and generates first type of display data and second type of display data; the first type of display data contains most or all of the status information of the sample analysis device, and the second type of display data contains part of the status information of the sample analysis device; the computer display 50 receives the first type of display data for corresponding display; and the status information screen 38 is used to receive the second type of display data for corresponding display. For example, the status information screen 38 displays information in the reaction component 35, such as which of the reaction component 35 is empty, which of the reaction component 35 carries a reaction cup, which of the reaction cup contains a mixed solution in incubation, which of the reaction cup contains a mixed solution for which the determination is completed, and the like. In some embodiments, the second type of display data contains status information of the sample analysis device about reagents and / or consumables; and the status information screen is used to display the status information of the sample analysis device about reagents and / or consumables. It should be noted that the consumables in each specific embodiment herein refer to consumables other than reagents, such as including in-dish consumables, bench-top consumables, and cabinet consumables, and the like, and the consumables herein (i.e., consumables other than reagents) can typically be cleaning solution and cleaning agent, and the like. The in-dish consumables refer to consumables placed on the reagent sites of the reagent disk 33, which can be cleaning solution, cleaning agent, dilution solution, and the like, and the cleaning consumables such as cleaning solution and cleaning agent in the dish are generally used to clean the reagent needle; and the bench-top consumables can typically be cleaning solution and cleaning agent, and the like, which are generally used to clean the sample needle, and the like.

[0110] In some embodiments, the status information screen 38 can be a touch display screen, and the user can operate the sample analysis device by operating the status information screen.

[0111] For example, in some embodiments, the processor 37 can control the movement of at least one of the sample dispensing component 32, the reagent carrying component 33, and the reagent dispensing component 34 in response to the touch operation on the status information screen 38. For example, the operator controls the movement of the sample dispensing component 32 by the touch operation on the status information screen 38, for another example, the operator controls the movement of the reagent dispensing component 34 by the touch operation on the status information screen 38, and for another example, the operator controls the movement of the reagent carrying component 33 by the touch operation on the status information screen 38, when the reagent carrying component 33 is the reagent disk 33, the operator controls the rotation of the reagent disk 33 by the touch operation on the status information screen 38 to rotate the empty reagent site to the operation site to place the reagent.

[0112] In some embodiments, the processor 37 is further capable of resetting the amount of consumables of at least one type of the sample analysis device in response to the touch operation on the status information screen 38. For example, the sample analysis device can be built-in with a liquid storage tank, which stores cleaning liquid. When the cleaning liquid in the tank is used up, the sample analysis device will alarm to inform the operator to replace it. After the operator replaces the new liquid storage tank, the amount of cleaning liquid in the tank can be reset to the full amount by the touch operation on the status information screen 38.

[0113] The above is some description of the status information screen 38. In the sample analysis device, the component related to the operator is the reagent carrying component 33. Therefore, the operator needs to observe the information of the reagent carrying component 33 to determine whether to replenish the reagent, the amount of the reagent to be replenished, and the position of the reagent to be replenished, etc. Hereinafter, the status information screen 38 will be taken as an example to be described as a display screen for displaying the reagent and / or consumables, or a display screen for controlling the reagent disk 33. At this time, the status information screen will be referred to as the reagent screen 38.

[0114] In some embodiments, the reagent screen 38 is used to display the status information of the sample analysis device related to the reagent. For example, the processor 37 obtains the status information of the sample analysis device related to the reagent from the reagent disk 33, and generates display data. The reagent screen 38 receives the display data to display the status information of the sample analysis device related to the reagent. In some embodiments, the status information of the sample analysis device related to the reagent at least includes the name of the reagent, the position of the reagent in the reagent disk, the information of the insufficient amount of the reagent, the information of the zero amount of the reagent, and the information of the reagent position without carrying the reagent container.

[0115] In some embodiments, the reagent screen 38 is also used to display the status information of the sample analysis device related to the consumables, such as cleaning agent and cleaning liquid, etc. For example, the processor 37 obtains the status information of the sample analysis device related to the consumables, and generates display data. The reagent screen 38 receives the display data to display the status information of the sample analysis device related to the consumables. The status information of the consumables includes the name of the consumables and the amount of the consumables.

[0116] Therefore, the reagent screen 38 can display the status information of the sample analysis device related to the reagent and / or consumables.

[0117] In some specific embodiments, the reagent screen 38 can display the status information of the sample analysis device related to the reagent and / or consumables through one or more of the overview interface, the summary interface, and the reagent disk status interface. Hereinafter, each interface will be described in detail.

[0118] In some embodiments, the reagent screen 38 displays, through the overview interface, the total amount of reagent required by the items in the reagent tray. The total amount of reagent required by the items in the reagent tray can be whether the reagent is sufficient, and if not sufficient, how many items have insufficient reagent. For example, the reagent screen 38 displays that the reagent is sufficient or how many items have insufficient reagent. In implementation, the processor 37 obtains the amount of reagent required by each item from the reagent tray 33, and calculates the total amount of reagent required by the items in the reagent tray 33 to generate corresponding display data; when the amount of reagent of an item is insufficient, the reagent screen 38 displays, through the overview interface or the summary interface, how many items have insufficient reagent to prompt the user, and otherwise, the reagent screen 38 can display a prompt that the amount of reagent of the items is sufficient. Similarly, the reagent screen 38 also displays, through the overview interface, the total amount of consumables, such as a prompt that the consumables are sufficient or insufficient. Figure 10 For example, in the overview interface, it is displayed that the amount of reagent of 3 items is low, and the amount of consumables is sufficient.

[0119] When the reagent screen 38 is in the off state during the loading of the reagent and the start of the test process, when the processor 37 determines that the amount of reagent of an item is insufficient, or when the processor 37 determines that the amount of consumables is insufficient, the processor 37 can control the reagent screen 38 to exit the off state, that is, the reagent screen 38 is turned on and displays the overview interface; in order to prevent false touch of the reagent screen 38, in some examples, the overview interface displayed at this time can be a locked overview interface. When the reagent screen 38 displays the locked overview interface, in response to the unlocking operation of the reagent screen 38, the processor controls the reagent screen to be unlocked and displays the unlocked overview interface. The processor 37 can control the reagent screen 38 to switch from the overview interface to the summary interface in response to the touch operation of the reagent screen 38. For example, in the example of Figure 10 , the user can enter the summary interface by clicking the “Enter System” button.

[0120] The reagent screen 38 displays the remaining amount information of the reagents required by each item in the reagent tray through the overview interface. For example, the remaining amount information of each item is displayed in the form of cards in units of items, i.e., each card corresponds to an item, and the card of the item can display the name of the item, the remaining amount of the reagent of the item, and the like. When displaying in detail, the reagent screen can display the remaining amount information of the reagents required by each item in the reagent tray in the overview interface in a manner that gives priority to the items with insufficient reagent amounts. This manner of giving priority to the items with insufficient reagent amounts can be that the reagent screen 38 automatically performs such display when switching from the general interface to the overview interface, or that a button for preferentially viewing the insufficient reagent amounts is provided on the overview interface, and the processor 37 controls the reagent screen 38 to preferentially display the items with insufficient reagent amounts in response to a click operation on the button. Similarly, the reagent screen 38 can also display the remaining amount information of each specific consumable through the overview interface. Figure 11 For example, as can be seen from the overview interface in the figure, the items Ca, Fe, and CO2 have no remaining amount, the item CRP has insufficient remaining amount, and the item TP has expired calibration, and these items are displayed at the front of the table and highlighted, for example, in red, to highlight.

[0121] When it is acquired that the reagent tray cover 33c is in the open state, the processor 37 controls the reagent screen 38 to display the reagent tray state interface. In some embodiments, the reagent tray state interface displays a schematic diagram of the reagent tray and / or reagent tray state information.

[0122] First, the schematic diagram of the reagent tray is described.

[0123] In an embodiment, the reagent disc status interface displays at least the reagent sites where the reagent containers have insufficient reagent, the reagent sites where the reagent containers have zero reagent, and the reagent sites where no reagent container is loaded on the reagent disc. In some embodiments, the reagent disc status interface also displays the reagent sites where the in-dish consumables are located. In an embodiment, the reagent screen 38 displays the corresponding position number information, reagent name, information of insufficient reagent, information of zero reagent, information of whether a reagent container is loaded, and / or information of whether the reagent is a third party on the reagent sites of the reagent disc status interface. The information of insufficient reagent, information of zero reagent, information of whether a reagent container is loaded, and / or information of whether the reagent is a third party can be displayed by different display of the reagent sites, such as different colors and / or corresponding marks, so that the operator can see the information from the reagent disc status interface. When the reagent disc cover 33c is in the open state, the reagent screen 38 also displays an operation area corresponding to the area covered by the reagent disc cover 33c on the reagent disc 33 on the reagent disc status interface. The operation area is displayed in a manner different from other areas of the reagent disc status interface, such as displaying the operation area as white and the other areas as gray. In order to make the user more clearly understand the situation of the reagent sites in the operation area, in an embodiment, the reagent screen 38 also displays an enlarged area on the reagent disc status interface. The enlarged area is used to display the operation area in an enlarged manner. Through the enlarged display effect of the enlarged area, the operator can clearly see the information of the position, name, and reagent amount of the reagent loaded in the current operation area, which assists the operator to quickly load and unload the reagent. The other positions of the non-operation area can also be highlighted to display the empty reagent bottles and empty positions, so as to facilitate the user to quickly locate other areas where the reagent can be loaded and unloaded.

[0124] The operator can know from the reagent disc status interface which reagent sites on the reagent disc 33 have less reagent, which reagent sites are positions where no reagent container is loaded, and which reagent sites have zero reagent, so as to know which positions of the reagent disc 33 need to be moved to the operation area to replace the reagent.

[0125] In order to make the user more clearly understand the corresponding information of the reagent loading, in some embodiments, the reagent screen 38 also displays a to-be-loaded list on the reagent disc status interface. The to-be-loaded list displays the item name of the reagent to be loaded, the number of reagent bottles, and the name of the reagent track where the reagent of the item to be loaded is placed. Of course, it can be understood that when the in-dish consumables such as cleaning liquid and / or cleaning agent for cleaning the reagent needle are also loaded in the reagent disc 33, the to-be-loaded list can also display the consumable name of the in-dish consumable to be loaded, the number of bottles, and the position of the reagent site.

[0126] The reagent disc status information is further described.

[0127] The reagent disc status information can be a state prompt indicating that the reagent disc cover 33c is in an open state, a state prompt indicating that the reagent disc 33 is in a scanning state while scanning the reagents in the reagent disc after the reagent disc is loaded with reagents, a prompt indicating that the reagent disc 33 has failed, a state prompt indicating that the reagent disc 33 is in a rotating state, a state prompt indicating that the reagent disc 33 is in a reagent level detection state, and the like. In an embodiment, the processor 37 acquires the status information of the reagent disc, and then controls the reagent screen 38 to display a corresponding text prompt beside the schematic diagram of the reagent disc.

[0128] Figure 12 Figure 13 Figure 14 are several examples of the reagent disc status interface. Figure 12 The white sector area in the schematic diagram of the reagent disc in the figure is the operation area. The reagent sites 6 and 37 in the figure are gray and do not display reagent names, indicating that the two reagent sites are empty, i.e., do not carry reagent containers. The reagent sites 1, 5, 7, 18, and 24 in the figure are white and correspondingly display reagent names, thus indicating that the reagent levels of these reagent sites are zero, i.e., carry empty reagent containers. In some examples, the reagent levels of the reagent sites can be displayed in the form of battery cells. When the reagent site is white, it means that the battery cell has run out, indicating that the reagent level is zero. The reagent site 31 in the figure carries in-disk consumables, and the name is DA. The reagent site 33 in the figure carries a third-party reagent. Figure 13 The to-be-loaded list is also displayed in the figure. The to-be-loaded list can be a retractable design. A button is provided on the frame of the list. The user can call up or hide the to-be-loaded list by clicking the button. Figure 14 The figure indicates that the operator has covered the reagent disc cover 33a. At this time, the processor 37 controls a scanner provided in the reagent disc 33 to scan the reagents in the reagent disc. Figure 12 Figure 13 Figure 14 The letter R in the figures indicates the meaning of the reagent disc. In addition, it can be understood that the symbols and forms of the empty positions, empty reagent bottles, consumables, and third-party reagents in the figures have various forms. The figures only show one example.

[0129] The above is a description of how the operator views the status information of the sample analysis device about the reagents through the reagent screen 38. In some embodiments, the operator can control the reagent disc 33 to rotate through the reagent screen 38. The specific description is as follows.

[0130] ​​​​The processor 37 can control the reagent disk 33 to rotate in response to the touch operation on the reagent screen 38. In some embodiments, the processor 37 can control the reagent disk 33 to rotate in response to the touch operation of dragging the icon of the reagent disk on the reagent screen 38; for example, the user can control the reagent disk 33 to rotate by dragging the icon of the reagent disk on the reagent screen 38. In some embodiments, the icon of the reagent disk is divided into multiple sub-zones, for example, 4 sub-zones, and the processor 37 controls the actual corresponding area of the clicked sub-zone to rotate to the operation area in response to the click operation on any sub-zone. In this way, the operator can control the rotation of the reagent disk 33 by performing the touch operation on the icon of the reagent disk on the reagent screen 38, for example, to rotate the reagent sites with insufficient reagent, zero reagent, and empty reagent to the operation area to facilitate the replacement of the reagent. During the reagent loading process, to prevent the operator from misinterpreting the reagent screen 38 and causing the reagent disk 33 to rotate, a lock key can be introduced in the reagent disk state interface, and the processor 37 can lock the rotation permission of the reagent disk 33 in response to the touch operation on the lock key. After the rotation permission of the reagent disk 33 is locked, the operator can no longer manually control the rotation of the reagent disk 33, unless the reagent disk 33 is unlocked to release the permission of the reagent disk 33, so that the operator can again control the rotation of the reagent disk 33 by performing the touch operation on the icon of the reagent disk on the reagent screen 38.

[0131] When the operator needs to supplement the reagent for the reagent disk, for example, after starting up every day before starting the test or before shutting down every day after the current test is completed, the reagent disk cover 33c can be directly opened, and the reagent screen 38 can be used to complete the reagent replacement. If it is during the test, the user can first issue a reagent addition pause command to the sample analysis device, and after the reagent disk enters the reagent pause state from the test state and stops rotating due to the test, the operator can open the reagent disk cover 33c to complete the reagent replacement. Specifically, in the test state of the reagent disk 33, the processor 37 can control the reagent disk 33 to enter the reagent pause state in response to the reagent addition pause instruction. In some embodiments, the reagent screen displays a reagent pause button, for example, the reagent pause button in the reagent screen 38, and the reagent screen issues the reagent addition pause instruction in response to the touch operation on the reagent pause button; in response to the reagent addition pause instruction, the processor 37 controls the reagent screen 38 to display a time prompt to prompt how long the reagent disk cover can be opened for reagent loading; and when the time arrives, the processor 37 controls the reagent screen 38 to display a prompt allowing the reagent disk cover to be opened. Figure 10 and Figure 11

[0132] ​The operator can rotate the corresponding area in the reagent disc 33 to the operation area through the reagent screen 38, so as to replace the reagent in the reagent site of the reagent disc in the operation area. In order to carry as many reagents as possible, the reagent disc of some sample analysis devices is also relatively large, so when the operator stands in front of the sample analysis device to rotate the reagent disc and replace the reagent, it may be difficult for the operator who is not tall to operate due to the relatively large structure of the reagent disc, for example, it is difficult to reach the reagent site in some corners of the operation area with his hand. In order to solve this problem, the schematic diagram of the reagent disc is divided into multiple sub-zones in some embodiments, and the number of the multiple sub-zones can be set, so that the specific area of the reagent disc can be rotated to the operation area, especially to a more optimal sub-area in the operation area, to improve the experience of the operator who is not tall. The following will be explained in detail.

[0133] In some embodiments, the schematic diagram of the reagent disc displayed by the reagent disc status interface is divided into multiple sub-zones; in response to a setting instruction for sub-zone division, the processor 37 controls the schematic diagram of the reagent disc to be set to a corresponding number of sub-zones. For example, the operator can set the schematic diagram of the reagent disc to 4 sub-zones and 8 sub-zones, etc. through a drop-down menu. As described above, in response to a click operation on any one sub-zone, the processor controls the area in the reagent disc actually corresponding to the clicked sub-zone to be rotated to the operation area; in an embodiment, the operation area includes a sub-area, and in response to a click operation on any one sub-zone in the schematic diagram of the reagent disc, the processor 37 controls the area in the reagent disc 33 actually corresponding to the clicked sub-zone to be rotated to the above-mentioned sub-area.

[0134] In order to make it more convenient for the operator to switch the number of sub-zones, a switching button for sub-zone division can be introduced in the reagent disc status interface, and a number representing the current number of sub-zones can be displayed on the switching button; in response to a click operation on the switching button, the processor 37 controls the schematic diagram of the reagent disc to be switched to a corresponding number of sub-zones. For example Figure 15 and Figure 16 are two examples; the figure shows an example with two reagent discs 33.

[0135] The above is some description of the reagent screen 38. The following will be described with two scenes of batch loading after daily startup and loading reagent during testing as examples to illustrate how the operator uses the reagent screen 38 to complete the loading of reagent.

[0136] Scene one: batch loading after daily startup

[0137] After the machine is turned on, the operator can open the reagent disc cover 33c, the reagent screen 38 displays a reagent disc status interface, the operator checks the to-be-loaded list from the reagent disc status interface, then controls the reagent disc 33 to rotate by touching the reagent disc icon in the reagent disc status interface, and then puts reagents into the reagent disc, thereby completing the batch loading of reagents in the reagent disc 33 by continuously controlling the reagent disc 33 to rotate and putting reagents into the reagent disc 33.

[0138] Scenario two: adding reagents during testing

[0139] When the operator sees that there is not enough reagent in the reagent screen 38 overview interface, the operator clicks the reagent pause button on the reagent screen 38, so that the reagent disc 33 enters the reagent pause state from the test state, then the operator opens the reagent disc cover 33c, the reagent screen 38 displays a reagent disc status interface, the operator checks the to-be-loaded list from the reagent disc status interface, then controls the reagent disc 33 to rotate by touching the reagent disc icon in the reagent disc status interface, and then puts reagents into the reagent disc, and also possibly takes out the reagent container with empty reagent from the reagent disc, thereby completing the loading of reagents in the reagent disc.

[0140] In this application, the sample analysis device can be equipped with two screens, for example, a computer display screen 50 and a reagent screen 38, which can also be displayed in linkage to cooperate with each other.

[0141] For example, the processor 37 estimates the daily demand for reagents and / or consumables, and controls the computer display screen 50 to display a list about the demand for reagents and / or consumables; the processor 37 calculates the to-be-loaded list of reagents and / or consumables according to the estimated daily demand for reagents and / or consumables and the current state information of reagents and / or consumables in the sample analysis device, and controls the reagent screen to display the to-be-loaded list of reagents and / or consumables. In the to-be-loaded list calculated by the processor 37, the processor 37 can intelligently recommend the position of the new bottle reagent loading according to the cross-contamination, test efficiency and other influencing factors.

[0142] For another example, the computer display screen 50 displays a reagent pause button, and the reagent screen 38 displays a reagent pause button, the functions of the two reagent pause buttons are the same, no matter which reagent pause button is clicked by the operator, the processor 37 will control the reagent disc 33 to enter the reagent pause state from the test state. Further, in response to the clicking operation on the reagent pause button, the processor 37 also controls a time prompt to be displayed on the computer display screen 50 and the reagent screen 38 to prompt how long the reagent disc cover 33c can be opened for reagent loading. Further, when the time arrives, the processor 37 controls the computer display screen 50 and the reagent screen 38 to display a prompt allowing the reagent disc cover to be opened.

[0143] Whether the reagent tray cover 33c is opened after the reagent tray is paused during the testing process, or opened in the non-testing situation such as before the testing after the start-up, how the reagent screen 38 displays and how the operator can control the reagent tray rotation through the reagent screen 38 have been described in detail above and will not be repeated here.

[0144] When the operator closes the reagent tray cover 33c, the processor 37 can acquire that the reagent tray cover 33c changes from the open state to the closed state, and thus controls to scan the reagents in the reagent tray 33 and controls the computer display screen 50 and the reagent screen 38 to display the time prompt for resuming the testing.

[0145] The above are some examples of the joint display of the computer display screen 50 and the reagent screen 38.

[0146] The following examples are used to illustrate how the user loads the reagents through the present application. The following two scenarios, i.e. the batch loading after the start-up every day and the loading during the testing process, are used as examples to illustrate how the operator uses the reagent screen 38 to complete the loading of the reagents.

[0147] Scenario one: batch loading after the start-up every day

[0148] The processor 37 can estimate the daily demand of the reagents and / or consumables, and calculate the to-be-loaded list of the reagents and / or consumables according to the current state information of the reagents and / or consumables of the sample analysis device, without the need for the operator to count and calculate by himself / herself. For example, as shown in FIG. 17(a), the operator selects the daily demand option and clicks the confirmation in the lower right corner, and the processor 37 calculates the above to-be-loaded list. The processor 37 controls to display the to-be-loaded list on the computer display screen 50, and the operator can choose to print the to-be-loaded list, without the need for the user to hand copy; then the operator can take the reagents from the reagent warehouse according to the printed to-be-loaded list; the to-be-loaded list on the computer display screen 50 can be synchronized to the reagent screen 38, and the user can directly check the reagents and positions to be supplemented on the reagent screen 38 after taking the reagents. After the operator takes the reagents, the operator comes to the sample analysis device, opens the reagent tray cover 33c, which triggers the reagent screen 38 to display the reagent tray state interface.

[0149] As shown in FIG. 17(b), which is an example of a reagent disc status interface, the A area of the reagent disc is the operation area and is enlarged and displayed, and the empty reagent positions and the reagent positions with insufficient reagent are displayed to facilitate the operator to check; the operator can also click the “bottles with insufficient reagent” button, so that the reagent discs 33 with insufficient reagent are highlighted, as shown in FIG. 17(c), which is an example. In the figure, the reagent disc is divided into four sub-areas, namely, A, B, C, and D. The operator can click A, B, C, or D to rotate the actual corresponding area of the corresponding sub-area in the reagent disc 33 to the operation area. The operator can click the “view loading list” button on the right side of the figure to call out the loading list for viewing, as shown in FIG. 17(d), which is an example. When the sample analysis device has multiple reagent discs 33, for example, a first reagent disc 33 loaded with a mixed reagent R1 and a second reagent disc 33 loaded with a trigger reagent R2, when the first reagent disc 33 is loaded, the operator only needs to click the icon of the second reagent disc 33 to switch to the second reagent disc 33, and a pop-up window will appear to prompt that the switching to the R2 disc view is successful, as shown in FIG. 17(e), which is an example.

[0150] During the loading process, in order to prevent the operator from accidentally touching the screen and causing the reagent disc to suddenly rotate during the loading of the reagent, a screen locking function can be provided, for example, a sliding lock button in the upper right corner of the figure. When locked, the reagent disc status interface can be covered with a layer of gray, as shown in FIG. 17(f), which is an example.

[0151] After the operator replenishes the reagent, the reagent disc cover 33c is closed, and the reagent screen 38 displays that the reagent disc is being processed for scanning and displays the scanning countdown, as shown in FIG. 17(g), which is an example of the reagent screen display. In some examples, the computer display screen 50 can also display that the reagent disc is being processed for scanning and displays the scanning countdown at this time.

[0152] After the user replenishes the reagent, the user can also click the other consumables on the right side of the reagent disc status interface to continue to replenish, for example, the table top consumables and the cabinet consumables, as shown in FIG. 17(h), which is an example. After the replenishment is completed, the user can click the “replenish” button, and the remaining amount of these consumables will be refreshed to 100%.

[0153] After the user replaces the reagent and consumables, and the reagent disc is scanned, the reagent screen 38 jumps back to the overview interface. In some examples, after the user replaces the reagent and consumables, and the reagent disc is scanned, the reagent screen 38 jumps back to the locked overview interface, as shown in FIG. 17(i), which is an example. Further, the reagent screen 38 displays the locked overview interface for a period of time, and if the user does not perform any touch operation, the reagent screen 38 enters the screen-off state.

[0154] Scenario two: adding reagent during testing

[0155] If there is a shortage of reagent or consumable during the test, the reagent screen 38 will light up and display the overview interface, which can very prominently remind the operator that there is a shortage of reagent or consumable during the test. The operator will know that there is a shortage of reagent or consumable as soon as he sees that the reagent screen 38 is lighted up, as shown in Fig. 18(a). The operator can enter the overview interface from the overview interface by unlocking the screen and clicking the system button, and then check which items or consumables are in shortage, as shown in Fig. 18(b). The operator can click the priority button to automatically sort the items in shortage to the front, i.e., to display the items in shortage in priority, as shown in Fig. 18(c). After the operator takes the reagent or consumable, the operator clicks the reagent pause button on the reagent screen 38, and the reagent screen 38 displays a countdown, as shown in Fig. 18(d). The computer display screen 50 can also display the countdown. When the time is up, the reagent screen 38 displays a prompt for the operator to open the reagent tray cover, and the computer display screen 50 also displays a prompt for the operator to open the reagent tray cover, as shown in Figs. 18(e) and 18(f).

[0156] Opening the reagent tray cover 33c triggers the reagent screen 38 to display the reagent tray status interface. The subsequent steps can refer to the process after opening the reagent tray cover 33c in the daily startup batch loading process in Scenario 1, which will not be described here.

[0157] Fig. 18(g) is an example of the reagent screen 38 displaying a scanning countdown after the reagent tray cover is closed. After the scanning time is up, the sample analysis device automatically resumes the test.

[0158] Figure 19 And Figure 20 The display is a diagram showing that the reagent tray is in failure and scanning in the reagent tray status interface.

[0159] In the testing process, when the operator needs to load reagent, in order to quickly enter the reagent replacement stage, reduce the operator waiting time for the reagent disc to stop, and at the same time not affect the normal testing of other tests, the processor 37 can respond to the reagent loading pause instruction, such as the reagent loading pause instruction triggered by the operator clicking the reagent pause button on the reagent screen 38 or the computer display screen 50, control the reagent disc 33 to enter the reagent pause state from the testing state and stop rotating, control the sample injection component 10 to dispatch samples, control the sample dispensing component 32 to suck samples from the sample injection component 10 and inject into the reaction cup, control the reaction component 35 to incubate the mixed liquid formed by the sample and the reagent in the reaction cup, and control the measurement component 36 to measure the mixed liquid after incubation. In order to prevent the movable unit of the sample analysis device from causing personal injury to the operator at this time, please refer to Figure 21 The sample analysis device can also include a protective cover 39; the protective cover 39 is arranged in such a way that the reagent disc cover can be opened and closed, and covers other testing components, such as covering part of the reagent disc 33, and covering the sample injection component 10, the sample dispensing component 32, the reagent dispensing component 34, and the reaction component 35. The protective cover 39 is openable and closable. It should be noted that Figure 21 is a partial top view of the sample analysis device, and the sample analysis device is shown as an example having two reagent discs 33.

[0160] In the above example, the processor 37 responds to the reagent loading pause instruction to control the reagent disc 33 to enter the pause state after completing the current action, and the waiting time is less than 10 seconds, while not interrupting the testing action of other components. At this time, the operator can directly open the reagent disc cover to replace the reagent, and after completing the replacement of the reagent, the operator closes the reagent disc cover, and the sample analysis device automatically restores the normal testing process. The overall replacement operation process is simple and fast, which can greatly improve the efficiency of reagent consumable replenishment during testing and reduce the user's unnecessary waiting time.

[0161] The above is some description of the sample analysis system and the sample analysis device of the present application. Some embodiments also disclose a sample analysis method which can be applied to the sample analysis device in any embodiment herein, which will be described in detail below.

For further description of the overview interface, the overview interface, and the reagent disk state interface, please refer to the above description, which will not be repeated here.

[0172] In some examples, the state information of the sample analysis device about the consumables is also obtained in the step 200, and accordingly, the reagent screen is controlled to display the state information of the sample analysis device about the consumables in the step 210, the state information of the consumables includes the name and the amount information of the consumables; controlling the reagent screen to display the state information of the sample analysis device about the consumables includes: controlling the reagent screen to display the state information of the sample analysis device about the consumables through one or more of the overview interface and the overview interface; the overview interface displays the amount information of the consumables as a whole; the overview interface displays the amount information of each specific consumable alone.

[0173] Please refer to Figure 23 In some embodiments, the sample analysis method comprises the following steps:

[0174] Step 100: controlling to suck the sample to be sampled and inject into the reaction cup.

[0175] Step 110: controlling to suck the reagent from the reagent disk and inject into the reaction cup.

[0181] Step 310: when the reagent disk cover is acquired in the open state, control the reagent screen to display the reagent disk state interface. In some embodiments, the reagent disk state interface displays the reagent disk shape diagram, and at least displays the reagent site of the insufficient reagent container, the reagent site of the zero reagent container, and the reagent site without carrying the reagent container on the reagent disk shape diagram. In some embodiments, a to-be-loaded list is also displayed on the reagent disk state interface, which displays the item name and the number of reagent bottles that need to be loaded. For further description of the reagent disk state interface, please refer to the above, which will not be repeated here.

[0182] Step 320: when the reagent disk cover is acquired from the open state to the closed state, control to scan the reagent in the reagent disk, and after the scanning is completed, control the reagent screen to display the overview interface. In some embodiments, the overview interface displays the reagent information of the reagent required by the item in the reagent disk. For further description of the overview interface, please refer to the above, which will not be repeated here.

[0183] Step 330: after the scanning is completed, the reagent screen displays the overview interface, and further controls to lock the overview interface, and after a preset time, controls the reagent screen to enter the screen-off state.

[0184] Step 340: during the test, when it is judged that the reagent of the item is insufficient, control the reagent screen to exit the screen-off state and display the overview interface; further, it can be the locked overview interface.

[0185] Step 350: when the reagent screen displays the overview interface which is locked, in response to an unlocking operation on the reagent screen, control the reagent screen to be unlocked; in response to a touch operation on the reagent screen, control the reagent screen to switch from the overview interface to the overview interface. The overview interface displays the remaining amount information of each required reagent in the reagent disc. One scenario is that after the user sees the locked overview interface, the user performs an unlocking operation on the reagent screen, and the reagent screen changes from the locked state to the unlocked state. The user can perform a touch operation on the overview interface on the reagent screen, and then the reagent screen can switch from the overview interface to the overview interface.

[0186] Please refer to Figure 24 and Figure 25 The sample analysis method in some embodiments includes the following steps:

[0190] Step 130: control the incubated mixture to be determined.

[0191] In the above determination process, the sample analysis method further includes the following steps:

[0192] Step 410: in response to a touch operation on the reagent screen, control the reagent disc to rotate correspondingly.

[0193] Specifically, the sample analysis device obtains the state information of the reagent, and the reagent screen receives display data to display the state information of the reagent. The reagent screen receives display data to display the state information of the reagent, including: the reagent screen displays the reagent disc state interface, and the reagent disc state interface displays at least the shape diagram of the reagent disc; the shape diagram of the reagent disc displays at least the reagent position of the reagent container with insufficient amount, the reagent position of the reagent container with zero amount, and the reagent position without the reagent container; the reagent position on the shape diagram of the reagent disc corresponds to the reagent position on the reagent disc. For further description of the reagent disc state interface, please refer to the above, which will not be repeated here.

[0194] Step 410 can be in response to a touch operation of dragging the shape diagram of the reagent disc on the reagent screen to rotate, and control the reagent disc to rotate correspondingly. The shape diagram of the reagent disc is divided into multiple partitions, and step 400 can be in response to a click operation on any one partition, control the actual corresponding area of the clicked partition in the reagent disc to rotate to the operation area.

[0195] In order to prevent the operator from misinterpreting the reagent screen and causing the reagent disk to rotate during the reagent loading process, a lock key can be introduced in the reagent disk state interface. In response to a touch operation on the lock key, the rotation permission of the reagent disk can be controlled. After the rotation permission of the reagent disk is locked, the operator can no longer control the rotation of the reagent disk by manual means. Unless the reagent disk is unlocked, the permission of the reagent disk is released, so that the operator can control the rotation of the reagent disk by touching the icon of the reagent disk on the reagent screen.

[0196] The reagent screen can also display a reagent pause button. In step 400, in response to a touch operation on the reagent pause button, the reagent disk is controlled to enter a reagent pause state from a test state. Further, in response to a touch operation on the reagent pause button, step 400 also controls the reagent screen to display a time prompt to prompt how long the reagent disk cover can be opened for reagent loading; when the time arrives, the reagent screen is controlled to display a prompt allowing the reagent disk cover to be opened.

[0197] Please refer to Figure 26 The sample analysis method in some embodiments includes the following steps:

[0198] In step 100, the sample to be sampled is controlled to be sucked and injected into the reaction cup.

[0199] In step 110, the reagent is controlled to be sucked from the reagent disk and injected into the reaction cup.

[0200] In step 120, the mixed solution formed by the sample and the reagent in the reaction cup is controlled to be incubated.

[0201] In step 130, the mixed solution after incubation is controlled to be measured.

[0202] During the above measurement process, the sample analysis method further includes the following steps:

[0203] In step 500, in response to a reagent pause instruction during the test process, the reagent disk is controlled to enter a reagent pause state and stop rotating, and the sample component is controlled to dispatch the sample, the sample dispensing component is controlled to suck the sample from the sample component and inject it into the reaction cup, the reaction component is controlled to incubate the mixed solution formed by the sample and the reagent in the reaction cup, and the measurement component is controlled to measure the mixed solution after incubation.

[0205] Step 600: The processor controls the reagent screen to display a reagent disc status interface, the reagent disc status interface displays a reagent disc shape diagram, and the reagent disc shape diagram is divided into multiple partitions.

[0206] In some embodiments, the reagent disc status interface further has a partition division switching button; and step 610: in response to a click operation on the switching button, the processor controls the reagent disc shape diagram to be switched to a corresponding number of partitions.

[0207] Step 620: in response to a click operation on any one partition, the processor controls the area actually corresponding to the clicked partition in the reagent disc to rotate to a preset operation area. In some examples, the operation area includes a sub-area, and step 620 controls the area actually corresponding to the clicked partition in the reagent disc to rotate to the sub-area in response to the click operation on any one partition.
