In this specification, the schematic representation of the above terms does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described may be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner.

[0089] The first embodiment of the present invention provides a sample analysis system, referring to Figure 1The sample analysis system includes a sample module 100, a track module 200, one or more sample analysis modules 300, multiple first bearing components and a controller, wherein the sample module 100 is used to place a quality control product combination or a calibration product combination, the quality control product combination includes multiple quality control products, each quality control product has the same solute and solvent, and the concentrations of the multiple quality control products are different; the calibration product combination includes multiple calibration products, each calibration product has the same solute and solvent, and the concentrations of the multiple calibration products are different. Specifically, taking the quality control product as an example, it includes a quality control liquid and a first container for containing the quality control liquid. The track module 200 connects the sample module 100 and the sample analysis module 300, and is used to transmit a single quality control product or calibration product. In other words, the quality control product or calibration product is transmitted by the track module 200 in units. The track module 200 has a liquid aspiration position. When the quality control product or calibration product reaches the liquid aspiration position, the sample analysis module 300 can perform a liquid aspiration operation on the quality control product or calibration product. In this embodiment, the track module 200 can transport the quality control products or calibration products in the quality control product combination or calibration product combination to transport the quality control products or calibration products to the target analysis modules in one or more sample analysis modules 300. The target analysis modules can sample and analyze the quality control products or calibration products in a preset concentration sequence. In this way, the sequential sampling of samples can be achieved on the basis of carrying a quality control product or calibration product by the first carrying component and transporting it by the track module. It should be noted that the quality control product combination or calibration product combination referred to in the present invention refers to all the quality control products or all the calibration products or part of the quality control products or part of the calibration products in the combination for quality control or calibration of at least one target project.

[0090] The sample analysis module 300 has a series of parameters, which are used to obtain analysis results. Generally speaking, the actual parameters of the sample analysis module 300 will have some drift compared to the theoretical parameters, and these drifts will affect the analysis accuracy. The calibrator is used to calibrate the parameters. Specifically, the concentration of each calibrator is a determined and known value. When at least part of the calibrators in the quality control product combination or the calibrator combination passes through the sample analysis module 300 according to the preset concentration sequence and is analyzed by the sample analysis module 300, the sample analysis module 300 can obtain multiple groups of analysis results. Based on the concentration values ​​of multiple calibrators and the corresponding analysis results, the actual parameters of the sample analysis module 300 can be obtained, so as to calibrate the equipment. After the parameters of the sample analysis module 300 are calibrated, the calibrated parameters can be used to analyze the case samples. It should be noted that one project will be calibrated by a corresponding set of calibrators. When multiple projects need to be calibrated, they need to be calibrated by different calibrator combinations. Different calibrator combinations can be input into the sample analysis system in batches or simultaneously. It should also be noted that a set of calibrators can be used for the calibration of only one project or for the calibration of multiple projects, which will be explained in subsequent embodiments.

[0091] As the sample analysis module is used and aged, its analysis accuracy will gradually decrease. At this time, it is necessary to use quality control products to determine whether the analysis accuracy of the sample analysis module is still within the normal range. Specifically, each quality control product has a different concentration range. When the analysis result of the sample analysis module 300 on the quality control product is within the concentration range, it is judged that the sample analysis module 300 is in a normal working state. When the analysis result of the sample analysis module 300 on the quality control product is outside the concentration range, it is judged that the sample analysis module 300 is in an abnormal state and the user needs to check. It should be noted that a project will be quality assessed by a corresponding set of quality control products. When quality assessment of multiple projects is required, it is necessary to calibrate with different quality control sample combinations. Different quality control product combinations can be input into the sample analysis system in batches or simultaneously. It should also be noted that a set of quality control products can be used for quality assessment of only one project or for quality assessment of multiple projects, which will be explained in subsequent embodiments.

[0092] Reference Figure 1The sample module 100 can be an input module, an input / output module 110, a stand-alone sample loading module 120 or a low-temperature storage module, etc., wherein, when the sample module 100 is an input module or the stand-alone sample loading module 120 is only used for input, the user can input the quality control product or the calibration product into the sample module 100; when the sample module 100 is an input / output module 110 or the stand-alone sample loading module 120 is also used for output, the quality control product or calibration product that has been aspirated can also be transferred to the sample module 100, so as to be taken away by the user. It should be noted that, in addition to being able to input or output the quality control products or calibrators in the aforementioned quality control product combination or calibration product combination, the sample module 100 can also realize the input or output of case samples, other quality control products different from the quality control product combination, or other calibrators different from the calibration product combination, etc., wherein, when the sample module 100 is an input module or the stand-alone sample loading module 120 is only used for input, the user can input the case sample into the sample module 100; when the sample module 100 is an input / output module 110 or the stand-alone sample loading module 120 is also used for output, the quality control products or calibrators that have been aspirated can also be transferred to the sample module 100 and thus taken away by the user. It should also be noted that the sample analysis system in some embodiments is separately provided with an input / output module 110, and the sample in other embodiments is simultaneously provided with an input / output module 110 and a stand-alone sample loading module 120 (such as Figure 1 shown).

[0093] Specifically, the sample module 100 includes a first sample storage mechanism and a first sample transfer mechanism, wherein the first sample storage mechanism may be a drawer, the drawer can be moved between a closed position and an open position relative to the shell of the sample module 100, when the drawer is in the closed position, it is located inside the shell, the first sample transfer mechanism can transfer the quality control, calibration or case sample between the drawer and the track module 200, when the drawer is in the open position, the drawer extends to the outside of the shell, the user can input the quality control, calibration or case sample into the drawer, or take away the quality control, calibration or case sample. The first sample transfer mechanism includes a manipulator, the manipulator can grab the quality control, calibration or case sample on the drawer or the track module 200, and can move in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction. In other embodiments, for example, in the stand-alone sample loading module 120, the first sample transfer mechanism also includes a docking track docked with the track module 200, the manipulator can transfer the quality control, calibration or case sample from the drawer to the docking track, and then transport it to the track module 200 by the docking track.

[0094] The track module 200 is connected to the sample module 100 and one or more sample analysis modules 300 respectively. The track module 200 is used to transfer a single sample. The sample here can be the aforementioned quality control product, calibration product or case sample. Specifically, there are multiple first sample carrying components, such as sample seats, circulating on the track module 200. A single sample seat is only used to place one sample. The first sample transfer mechanism can transfer the sample in the sample module 100 to the sample seat on the track module 200. Figure 1 In some embodiments, the track module 200 includes a first transmission unit 210 and a second transmission unit 220, one end of the second transmission unit 220 is directly connected to the first transmission unit 210, the sample analysis module 300 is connected to the second transmission unit 220, and the second transmission unit 220 has a liquid aspiration position. When the sample module 100 is an input module or an input / output module 110, the sample module 100 is connected to the first transmission unit 210, for example, connected to the end of the first transmission unit 210, and the sample in the sample module 100 is transferred from the first transmission unit 210 to the second transmission unit 220; when the sample module 100 is a stand-alone sample loading module 120, the sample module 100 is connected to the second transmission unit 220, for example, connected to the end of the second transmission unit 220 away from the first transmission unit 210, and the sample in the stand-alone sample loading module 120 is transported to the sample analysis module 300 through the second transmission unit 220, and returns to the stand-alone sample loading module 120 through the second transmission unit 220 after aspiration.

[0095] The sample analysis module 300 is used to aspirate and analyze quality control samples, calibrators or case samples. In some embodiments, the sample analysis module 300 includes an aspiration component, which may be an aspiration needle. When the sample reaches the aspiration position, the aspiration needle can aspirate the sample. In some embodiments, the system is suitable for an inspection line, and the sample analysis system includes multiple sample analysis modules 300. The track module 200 can transfer quality control products or calibration products to target sample analysis modules of multiple sample analysis modules 300. The so-called "target sample analysis module" means that the quality control products in the quality control product combination can be applied to the quality control of the sample analysis module, or the calibration products in the calibration product combination can be applied to the calibration of the sample analysis module. In some specific embodiments, taking quality control products as an example, the quality control products in a quality control product combination are only applicable to the quality control of one sample analysis module 300, and the quality control products in the quality control product combination will be transported to the sample analysis module 300 by the track module 200. In other specific embodiments, the quality control products in a quality control product combination are applicable to the quality control of multiple sample analysis modules 300, and these sample analysis modules 300 are all target sample analysis modules. The quality control products in the quality control product combination are first transported to one of the target sample analysis modules by the track module 200 to complete the corresponding quality control, and then transported to another target sample analysis module by the track module 200 to complete the corresponding quality control. In some other embodiments, the system is also applicable to a single analysis machine. The difference between the single analysis machine in this embodiment and the traditional single analysis machine is that case samples, calibrators or quality control products in the traditional single analysis machine are all transported inside the single machine using a sample rack that can carry multiple samples, while the single analysis machine in this embodiment uses a single tube holder that can only carry one sample as a carrier for transportation inside the single machine. The track module and the single tube holder on the analysis assembly line can be adaptively adjusted and then installed on a sample analysis module. At this time, the sample analysis module is also the target sample analysis module.

[0096] As mentioned above, the track module 200 in this embodiment can transport the quality control products or calibration products to the target sample analysis module, and the target sample analysis module can aspirate and analyze the quality control products or calibration products in a preset concentration sequence to perform quality control analysis or calibration analysis on at least one target item, thereby realizing sequential aspiration of multiple samples in the quality control product combination or calibration product combination on the analysis pipeline.

[0097] On the basis of the first embodiment, in some embodiments, the aforementioned "controlling the track module 200 to transport the quality control or calibration product to the target sample analysis module" specifically refers to: controlling the track module 200 to transport the quality control or calibration product to the target sample analysis module according to the aforementioned preset concentration sequence, so that the target sample analysis module can be convenient for aspirating samples in sequence. It should be noted that the track module 200 can sort the disordered quality control or calibration products through a series of scheduling strategies, for example, through a queue-jumping strategy, the quality control or calibration product in the front sequence is moved to the front side of the quality control or calibration product in the back sequence. In other embodiments, the track module 200 may not sort the quality control or calibration products, but realize the final sequential aspiration by whether the target sample analysis module aspirates liquid. For example, the target sample analysis module has completed the aspiration of the No. 1 quality control or calibration product, and the next to arrive at the target sample analysis module is the No. 3 quality control or calibration product, then the target sample analysis module does not aspirate the No. 3 quality control or calibration product and releases it.

[0098] On the basis of the first embodiment, in some embodiments, the aforementioned “control track module 200 transports the quality control product or calibration product to the target sample analysis module in the preset concentration sequence” specifically means: the quality control product or calibration product in the quality control product combination or calibration product combination is transported to the sample analysis module 300 in the order from low concentration to high concentration. Since the concentration of the quality control product or calibration product extracted later is higher than the concentration of the quality control product or calibration product extracted earlier, when the quality control product or calibration product extracted earlier has residual liquid in the liquid aspiration component, the relatively low concentration residual liquid will not increase the concentration of the quality control product or calibration product extracted later when it is mixed with the quality control product or calibration product extracted later. It should be noted that the preset concentration sequence can also be the order from high concentration to low concentration.

[0099] It should also be noted that the sample analysis system can have different test combinations at the same time, for example, multiple sets of calibrators, multiple sets of quality control products, or more than one set of calibrators and more than one set of quality control products.

[0100] On the basis of the first embodiment, in some embodiments, the track module 200 transports the quality control products or calibration products to the target sample analysis module 300 in a preset concentration sequence, specifically referring to: the track module 200 transports all the quality control products or calibration products in the quality control product combination or calibration product combination to the target sample analysis module 300 in a preset concentration sequence. In other words, after all the quality control products or calibration products in the quality control product combination or calibration product combination are located in the track module 200, the track module 200 then transports all the quality control products or calibration products through the liquid aspiration position 230 in the transport concentration sequence.

[0101] When all the quality control products or calibration products in the quality control product combination or calibration product combination pass through the sample analysis module 300 in a preset concentration sequence, in some embodiments, the sample analysis system includes a buffer area, and when at least one quality control product or calibration product in the quality control product combination or calibration product combination has not been input into the sample module 100, that is, only part of the quality control products or calibration products are input into the sample module 100, the quality control products or calibration products input into the sample module 100 are cached in the buffer area to wait for the remaining quality control products or calibration products to be input into the sample module 100. It should be noted that the buffer area can be other functional modules different from the aforementioned sample module 100, track module 200 and other modules, or it can be a part of the mechanism in the aforementioned sample module 100, track module 200 and other modules, which will be described below in conjunction with specific embodiments. It should also be noted that when all the quality control products or calibration products enter the buffer area, all the quality control products or calibration products can also continue to be cached in the buffer area as needed.

[0102] When the sample analysis system includes a cache area, in some specific embodiments, the cache area is arranged in the track module 200, that is, the cache area is formed in the track module 200. On this basis, the aforementioned cache of the quality control products or calibration products input into the sample module in the cache area specifically refers to: after the quality control products or calibration products are input into the sample module 100, they are transferred to the track module 200 by the first sample transfer mechanism, and then transported to the cache in the cache area by the track module 200. In other words, when the quality control products or calibration products are input into the sample module 100 and all the quality control products or calibration products in the combination are not collected, the quality control products or calibration products input first will enter the cache of the track module 200 to wait for other quality control products or calibration products to be input, so as to avoid occupying the space of the sample module 100.

[0103] When the buffer area is set in the track module 200, in some specific embodiments, the buffer area includes a circular track of the track module 200, and the aforementioned caching of the quality control products or calibration products that have been input into the sample module 100 in the buffer area specifically refers to: the quality control products or calibration products that have been input into the sample module 100 circulate in the circular track.

[0104] Specifically, some of the quality control products or calibration products that enter the track module 200 first move in a circular motion in the circular track, waiting for the input of other missing quality control products or calibration products. The circular track includes at least two tracks with opposite transport directions, and a switching mechanism for transferring the quality control products or calibration products between the two tracks. Figure 2As shown in the example, the circulating track is arranged in the aforementioned second transport unit 220, and the second transport unit 220 includes a first track 221 and a second track 222, which are arranged in parallel. The first track 221 is used to receive the sample transported by the first transport unit 210, and can continue to transport the sample in a first direction (for example, from left to right), and the second track 222 can transport the sample in an opposite second direction (for example, from right to left) and return the sample to the first transport unit 210. At least two gaps for sample transfer are arranged between the first track 221 and the second track 222, and a first switching mechanism is arranged at the gap, and the first switching mechanism can be a rotatable turntable or a rotatable guide plate, so as to Figure 2 As shown in the example, the first switching mechanism includes a first switching device 224 and a second switching device 225. Both the first switching device 224 and the second switching device 225 are turntables. The first switching device 224 is set at the right gap, and the second switching device 225 is set at the left gap. When the quality control product or calibration product is transported from the first track 221 to the right to the first switching device 224, it is transferred to the second track 222 through the first switching device 224, and then transported from the second track 222 to the left to the second switching device 225, and then transferred to the second track 222 through the second switching device 225. In this way, the circular movement of the quality control product or calibration product can be realized. It can be understood that for other samples that do not need to be cyclically moved, when they are transported to the second switching device 225 to the left through the second track 222, the second switching device 225 does not perform a transfer operation, and the other samples that do not need to be cyclically moved can continue to be transported to the first transmission unit 210 along the second track 222. By controlling the start and stop of the first switching device 224, it will not affect the normal transportation of other samples, and the cyclic movement of quality control products or calibration products can be achieved. It can be understood that the track at other positions of the track module 200 can also be intercepted and used as a cyclic track, or multiple cyclic tracks can be set to achieve the cyclic movement of multiple groups of sample combinations.

[0105] When the cache area is set in the track module 200, in other specific embodiments, the cache area includes the cache track 211 of the track module 200, and the aforementioned caching of the quality control products or calibration products that have been input into the sample module 100 in the cache area specifically refers to: the quality control products or calibration products that have been input into the sample module 100 stay in the cache track 211.

[0106] Specifically, some of the quality control products or calibration products that enter the track module 200 first stop in the circulation track to wait for other quality control products or calibration products. Figure 2As shown in the example, the cache track 211 is set in the aforementioned first transmission unit 210, and the first transmission unit 210 includes the cache track 211 and the blocking mechanism not shown. After the quality control or calibration product enters the cache track 211, it will be blocked by the blocking mechanism and stay in the cache track 211. The quality control or calibration products that enter the cache track 211 later will be sorted and stay in it, thereby realizing the cache of the quality control or calibration products. It should be noted that the first transmission unit 210 can also be provided with a third track 212. The transportation direction of the cache track 211 and the third track 212 is the same. A third switching device 213 not shown is provided between the cache track 211 and the third track 212. The quality control or calibration products that need to be cached are first transported by the third track 212, and then transferred to the cache track 211 through the third switching device 213. If it is other samples that do not need to be cached, they will continue to be transported directly along the third track 212. In this way, it will not affect the normal transportation of other samples, and can realize the cache of quality control or calibration products. It is understandable that the tracks at other positions of the track module 200 may be intercepted and used as the cache track 211 , or a plurality of cache tracks 211 may be provided to achieve the retention of a plurality of groups of sample combinations.

[0107] When the buffer area is set in the track module 200, in other specific embodiments, the buffer area includes the sample suction track 223 of the track module 200, and the aforementioned caching of the quality control products or calibration products that have been input into the sample module 100 in the buffer area specifically refers to: the quality control products or calibration products that have been input into the sample module 100 stay in the sample suction track 223.

[0108] In the aforementioned embodiment, when not all quality control products or calibration products are collected on the track module 200, the quality control products or calibration products on the track module 200 will wait for the missing quality control products or calibration products by circulating in the circulation track or caching in the cache track 211, which will not hinder the case samples or other samples from reaching the aspiration position 230 for aspiration. In the present embodiment, when not all quality control products or calibration products are collected on the track module 200, the quality control products or calibration products on the track module 200 will be cached in the aspiration track 223, which is suitable for scenarios where there are no other samples in the track module 200 or other samples have a lower priority or the quality control products or calibration products must be aspirated continuously. Specifically, the second transmission unit 220 also includes aspiration track 223, which is a track different from the circulation track or the cache track 211, and the aspiration track 223 has the aforementioned aspiration position 230, for example, referring to Figure 2The second track 222 is located between the first track 221 and the sample suction track 223. The sample suction track 223 and the second track 222 have the same transportation direction. The sample that needs to be sucked can enter the sample suction track 223 from the second track 222 through the switching mechanism for sampling, and then return to the second track 222 after sampling, and then be transferred to the first transmission unit 210. When there are no other samples in the track module 200 or other samples have a lower priority, and all quality control products or calibration products are not collected in the track module 200, the quality control products or calibration products in the track module 200 enter the sample suction track 223 to wait.

[0109] When the buffer area is set in the track module 200, in some specific embodiments, the cache time of the quality control products or calibration products in the buffer area lasts at least until the remaining quality control products or calibration products are input into the sample module 100. In other words, in this embodiment, the quality control products or calibration products in the track module 200 will wait until all the quality control products or calibration products enter the sample module 100, wherein, after the remaining quality control products or calibration products are input into the sample module 100, the input quality control products or calibration products are transported out of the buffer area to prepare for transportation to the liquid aspiration position 230, or after the remaining quality control products or calibration products are transferred from the sample module 100 to the track module 200, the input quality control products or calibration products are transported out of the buffer area to prepare for transportation to the liquid aspiration position 230, or after the remaining quality control products or calibration products are transported from the track module 200 to the buffer area, all the quality control products or calibration products are transported out of the buffer area to prepare for transportation to the liquid aspiration position 230.

[0110] When the buffer area is set in the track module 200, in some specific embodiments, when the time interval of the first quality control product or the first calibration product entering the track module 200 is greater than or equal to the first preset value, and no other quality control products or calibration products are input into the sample module 100 or enter the track module 200 from the sample module 100, or when the time interval of the last quality control product or the last calibration product entering the track module 200 is greater than or equal to the second preset value, and no other quality control products or calibration products are input into the sample module 100 or enter the track module 200 from the sample module 100, When the sample module 100 is input or the track module 200 is entered from the sample module 100, or when the time interval between the first quality control product or the first calibration product entering the track module 200 is greater than or equal to a third preset value, and the remaining quality control products or calibration products in the quality control product combination or the calibration product combination are not all input into the sample module or are not all entered into the track module from the sample module, the controller is also configured to control the track module 200 to transport the quality control products or calibration products in the track module 200 to the sample module 100, and / or output a warning message.

[0111] Specifically, for some samples, long-term exposure to air or long-term exposure to a vibrating environment will affect the quality. In addition, long-term caching in the track module 200 will also affect the flux of the track module 200. Based on this, the present embodiment limits the time that the quality control products or calibration products stay in the track module 200. When the on-track time exceeds the preset value and some quality control products or calibration products have not yet been input into the sample module 100 or have not entered the track module 200, the track module 200 will transport all the quality control products or calibration products in the buffer area back to the sample module 100. In some more stringent scenarios, the entry time of the first quality control product or the first calibration product entering the track module 200 is used as the starting point for calculating the on-track time. In other words, the timing starts when the first quality control product or the first calibration product enters the track module 200. When the time interval since the first quality control product or the first calibration product enters the track module 200 reaches a third preset value, if some quality control products or calibration products have not yet been input into the sample module 100 or have not entered the track module 200, all quality control products or calibration products in the buffer area are transported back to the sample module 100. In other words, it focuses on whether all quality control products or calibration products have entered the sample module 100 or the track module 200 within the preset time period. In other scenarios, the focus is on the time interval between two quality control products or calibration products entering the track module 200. If the time interval is greater than the first preset value or the second preset value, all quality control products or calibration products in the buffer area are transported back to the sample module 100. When the track module 200 does not have any quality control product combination or quality control product or calibration product in the calibration product combination, the entry time of the first quality control product or calibration product entering the track module 200 is used as the starting point for calculating the transportation time. When the track module 200 already has at least one quality control product combination or quality control product or calibration product in the calibration product combination, the entry time of the last quality control product or calibration product entering the track module 200 is used as the starting point for calculating the transportation time. It should be noted that the first preset value and the second preset value may be the same or different.

[0112] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, if the time that the quality control products or calibration products stay in the track module 200 exceeds the aforementioned preset value (for example, the first preset value, the second preset value or the third preset value), the controller may only output a warning message to remind the user to input the remaining quality control products or calibration products. At this time, the quality control products or calibration products already in the cache area can continue to be cached until another preset time point is reached and then transferred into the sample module 100.

[0113] It should also be noted that "entering the track module 200" in this embodiment may refer to the moment of first transfer from the sample module 100 to the track module 200, or the moment of being uncovered by the decapping module on the track.

[0114] For example, the buffer area includes a circular track, and some quality control products or calibration products that first enter the track module 200 move in a circular motion within the circular track to wait for other quality control products or calibration products. After waiting for the first preset value or the second preset value, the track module 200 transports the quality control products or calibration products to the sample module 100, and transfers them to the first sample storage mechanism by the first sample transfer mechanism.

[0115] For another example, the buffer area includes a buffer track 211 or a sample suction track 223. Some quality control products or calibration products that first enter the track module 200 stay in the buffer track 211 or the sample suction track 223 to wait for other quality control products or calibration products. After waiting for the first preset value or the second preset value, the track module 200 transports the quality control products or calibration products to the sample module 100, and transfers them to the first sample storage mechanism by the first sample transfer mechanism.

[0116] When the on-track time of the quality control or calibration product exceeds the preset value and the quality control or calibration product in the buffer area is returned to the sample module 100, in some specific embodiments, the controller can issue a warning message to prompt the user that the sample has timed out, and the sample can choose to take out the quality control or calibration product from the sample module 100, and / or, replenish the remaining quality control or calibration product into the sample module 100. After the remaining quality control or calibration product is replenished into the sample module 100, the first sample transfer mechanism transfers the quality control or calibration product in the sample module 100 to the track module 200. In some further embodiments, the first sample transfer mechanism transfers all the quality control or calibration products to the track module 200 in sequence according to the preset concentration sequence, so that the track module 200 can make each quality control or calibration product pass through the liquid aspiration position 230 in sequence according to the preset concentration sequence without adjusting the sequence, or even if the sequence of each quality control or calibration product changes during the process of transporting to the liquid aspiration position 230, the change range is relatively small, which can reduce the steps of scheduling and adjusting the sequence of the track module 200.

[0117] In some specific embodiments, the first sample storage mechanism is also used to store another type of quality control product combination or another type of calibration product combination. The other type of quality control product combination or another type of calibration product combination here is different from the aforementioned quality control product combination or calibration product combination, but has similar properties. For example, the sample analysis module needs to aspirate and analyze the quality control product or calibration product therein according to the corresponding preset concentration sequence, but the target project of its application is completely or partially different.

[0118] On this basis, the quality of another type of quality control product combination or another type of calibration product group will also be affected by long-term exposure to air or long-term exposure to a vibrating environment. In addition, its long-term caching in the track module 200 will also affect the flux of the track module 200. Based on this, this embodiment also limits the time of another type of quality control product or another type of calibration product in the track module 200. When the on-track time exceeds the preset value and some quality control products or calibration products have not yet been input into the sample module 100 or have not entered the track module 200, the track module 200 will transport all the quality control products or calibration products in the buffer area back to the sample module 100. In addition, since another type of quality control product or another type of calibration product is different from the aforementioned quality control product or calibration product, different on-track time limits can be flexibly set according to actual needs, as described below:

[0119] When the time interval of the first quality control product or the first calibration product in another type of quality control product combination or another type of calibration product combination entering the track module is greater than or equal to the fourth preset value, and no other quality control products or other calibration products in another type of quality control product combination or another type of calibration product combination enter the sample module or enter the track module from the sample module, the controller is also configured to control the track module to transport the quality control products or calibration products in the buffer area to the sample module, and / or output a warning message. This embodiment can be understood with reference to the above-mentioned embodiment. Among them, the first preset value is different from the fourth preset value. In some specific embodiments, the user can set it as needed.

[0120] When the time interval of the last quality control product or the last calibration product in another type of quality control product combination or another type of calibration product combination entering the track module is greater than or equal to the fifth preset value, and no other quality control products or other calibration products in another type of quality control product combination or another type of calibration product combination enter the sample module or enter the track module from the sample module, the controller is also configured to control the track module to transport the quality control products or calibration products in the buffer area to the sample module, and / or output a warning message. This embodiment can be understood with reference to the above-mentioned embodiment. Among them, the second preset value is different from the fifth preset value. In some specific embodiments, the user can set it as needed.

[0121] When the time interval between the first quality control product or the first calibration product of another type of quality control product combination or another type of calibration product combination entering the track module is greater than or equal to the sixth preset value, and the remaining quality control products or the remaining calibration products of another type of quality control product combination or another type of calibration product combination have not all been input into the sample module or have not all entered the track module from the sample module, the controller is also configured to control the track module to transport the quality control products or calibration products in the buffer area to the sample module, and / or output a warning message. This embodiment can be understood with reference to the above-mentioned embodiments. Among them, the third preset value is different from the sixth preset value. In some specific embodiments, the user can set it as needed.

[0122] When the sample analysis system also includes a cache area, in some embodiments, the sample analysis system also includes a cache module that is different from the sample module 100, and the cache module is connected to the track module 200, and can realize the transfer of samples between the track module 200 and the cache module. For example, the cache module includes a second sample storage mechanism and a second sample transfer mechanism, the second sample storage mechanism is used to store samples, and the second sample transfer mechanism is used to transfer samples between the second sample storage mechanism and the track module 200.

[0123] In this embodiment, the buffer area is set in the buffer module. When the time interval of the first quality control product or the first calibration product entering the track module 200 since entering the track module 200 is greater than or equal to the first preset value, and no other quality control products or calibration products are input into the sample module 100 or enter the track module 200 from the sample module 100, or when the time interval of the last quality control product or the last calibration product entering the track module 200 since entering the track module is greater than or equal to the second preset value, and no other quality control products or calibration products are input into the sample module 100 or enter the track module 200 from the sample module 100, or when the time interval of the first quality control product or the first calibration product entering the track module since entering the track module is greater than or equal to the third preset value, and the remaining quality control products or calibration products in the quality control product combination or the calibration product combination are not all input into the sample module or not all enter the track module from the sample module, the controller is also configured to control the track module 200 to transport the quality control products or calibration products in the track module 200 to the buffer module, and / or output a warning message.

[0124] The difference between this embodiment and the aforementioned embodiment is that in the aforementioned embodiment, when the on-track time of the quality control product or calibration product exceeds a preset value, the quality control product or calibration product in the cache area will be returned to the sample module 100, while the quality control product or calibration product in this embodiment will be returned to a cache module different from the sample module 100. The specific scheme can be understood by referring to the aforementioned embodiment.

[0125] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, if the time that the quality control products or calibration products are in the track module 200 exceeds the aforementioned preset value (for example, the first preset value, the second preset value or the third preset value), the controller may only output a warning message to remind the user to input the remaining quality control products or calibration products. At this time, the quality control products or calibration products already in the track module 200 can continue to move in the track module 200 until reaching another preset time point and then be transferred into the cache module.

[0126] It should also be noted that "entering the track module 200" in this embodiment may refer to the moment of first transfer from the sample module 100 to the track module 200, or the moment of being uncovered by the decapping module on the track.

[0127] When the on-track time of the quality control or calibration product exceeds the preset value and causes the quality control or calibration product in the cache area to return to the cache module, in some specific embodiments, the controller can issue a warning message to prompt the user that there is a sample timeout, and / or the user can choose to replenish the remaining quality control or calibration product into the sample module 100. After the remaining quality control or calibration product is replenished into the sample module 100, or the remaining quality control or calibration product is transferred from the sample module 100 to the track module 200, the second sample transfer mechanism transfers the quality control or calibration product in the second sample storage mechanism to the track module 200. The track module 200, through corresponding scheduling, allows the first quality control or calibration product from the cache module and the subsequent quality control or calibration product from the sample module 100 to be aspirated by the target sample analysis module in a preset concentration order.

[0128] In some specific embodiments, the first sample storage mechanism is also used to store another type of quality control product combination or another type of calibration product combination. The other type of quality control product combination or another type of calibration product combination here is different from the aforementioned quality control product combination or calibration product combination, but has similar properties. For example, the sample analysis module needs to aspirate and analyze the quality control product or calibration product therein according to the corresponding preset concentration sequence, but the target project of its application is completely or partially different.

[0129] On this basis, the quality of another type of quality control product combination or another type of calibration product group will also be affected by long-term exposure to air or long-term exposure to a vibrating environment. In addition, its long-term caching in the track module 200 will also affect the flux of the track module 200. Based on this, this embodiment also limits the time of another type of quality control product or another type of calibration product in the track module 200. When the on-track time exceeds the preset value and some quality control products or calibration products have not yet been input into the sample module 100 or have not entered the track module 200, the track module 200 will transport all the quality control products or calibration products in the buffer area to the buffer module. In addition, since another type of quality control product or another type of calibration product is different from the aforementioned quality control product or calibration product, different on-track time limits can be flexibly set according to actual needs, as described below:

[0130] When the time interval of the first quality control product or the first calibration product in another type of quality control product combination or another type of calibration product combination entering the track module is greater than or equal to the eighth preset value, and no other quality control products or other calibration products in another type of quality control product combination or another type of calibration product combination enter the sample module or enter the track module from the sample module, the controller is also configured to control the track module to transport the quality control products or calibration products in the buffer area to the buffer module, and / or output a warning message. This embodiment can be understood with reference to the above embodiments. Among them, the first preset value is different from the eighth preset value. In some specific embodiments, the user can set it as needed.

[0131] When the time interval of the last quality control product or the last calibration product in another type of quality control product combination or another type of calibration product combination entering the track module is greater than or equal to the ninth preset value, and no other quality control products or other calibration products in another type of quality control product combination or another type of calibration product combination enter the sample module or enter the track module from the sample module, the controller is also configured to control the track module to transport the quality control products or calibration products in the buffer area to the buffer module, and / or output a warning message. This embodiment can be understood with reference to the above-mentioned embodiment. Among them, the second preset value is different from the ninth preset value. In some specific embodiments, the user can set it as needed.

[0132] When the time interval between the first quality control product or the first calibration product of another type of quality control product combination or another type of calibration product combination entering the track module is greater than or equal to the tenth preset value, and the remaining quality control products or the remaining calibration products of another type of quality control product combination or another type of calibration product combination have not all been input into the sample module or have not all entered the track module from the sample module, the controller is also configured to control the track module to transport the quality control products or calibration products in the buffer area to the buffer module, and / or output a warning message. This embodiment can be understood with reference to the above-mentioned embodiments. Among them, the third preset value is different from the tenth preset value. In some specific embodiments, the user can set it as needed.

[0133] When the sample analysis system includes a buffer zone, in some specific embodiments, the buffer zone is set in the first sample storage mechanism of the sample module 100, and the aforementioned cache of the quality control products or calibration products that have been input into the sample module 100 in the buffer zone specifically means that the quality control products or calibration products are kept in the first sample storage mechanism for cache after they are input into the sample module 100. In other words, the buffer zone in the aforementioned embodiment is located in the track module 200, and the quality control products or calibration products need to be transferred from the sample module 100 to the track module 200 for cache. The buffer zone of this embodiment is located in the sample module 100, and the quality control products or calibration products can be cached after they are input into the sample module 100.

[0134] When the buffer area is set in the first sample storage mechanism of the sample module 100, after all the quality control products or calibration products are input into the sample module 100, the controller is also configured to control the first sample transfer mechanism to transfer the quality control products or calibration products in the sample module 100 to the track module 200 according to the preset concentration sequence. In this way, the track module 200 can make each quality control product or calibration product pass through the liquid aspiration position 230 in sequence according to the preset concentration sequence without adjusting the sequence, or even if the sequence of each quality control product or calibration product changes during the transportation to the liquid aspiration position 230, the change range is relatively small, which can reduce the steps of scheduling and adjusting the sequence of the track module 200.

[0135] Based on the first embodiment, the sample analysis system also includes a first identification module, and the controller is also configured to control the first identification module to detect whether all quality control products or calibration products in the quality control product combination or calibration product combination are input into the sample module 100, or to detect whether all quality control products or calibration products in the quality control product combination or calibration product combination enter the track module 200.

[0136] In some specific embodiments, the first sample storage mechanism is used to store the second carrier, and the second carrier has a plurality of placement holes. In some further embodiments, the plurality of placement holes include a plurality of preset holes, and the preset holes are specifically used to place quality control products or calibration products. For example, the second carrier can be a 5X5 (5 rows and 5 columns) sample rack or a 5X10 (10 rows and 5 columns) sample rack, wherein a certain row or several rows are used as preset preset holes. The number of preset holes is equal to the number of quality control products or calibration products in the quality control product combination or the calibration product combination. The placement holes are used to place quality control products, calibration products or case samples. The aforementioned first sample transfer mechanism is at least used to transfer the quality control products or calibration products in the first sample storage mechanism to the first carrier of the track module 200, including: the first sample transfer mechanism is at least used to transfer the quality control products or calibration products in the plurality of placement holes or the plurality of preset holes one by one to the first carrier of the track module 200.

[0137] In this embodiment, the aforementioned control of the first identification module to detect whether all the quality control products or calibration products in the quality control product combination or calibration product combination are input into the sample module 100 specifically refers to: controlling the first identification module to obtain the image information of the second carrying component stored in the first sample storage mechanism, and judging whether all the quality control products or calibration products in the quality control product combination or calibration product combination are all input into the sample module 100 based on the image information. For example, the container storing the quality control products or calibration products is different from the container storing the case sample in appearance, and the quality control products or calibration products can be directly identified through the image information; for another example, it can be judged whether there are quality control products or calibration products in each preset hole position through the image information. If there are quality control products or calibration products in each preset hole position, it means that all the quality control products or calibration products in the quality control product combination or calibration product combination have been input into the sample module 100, and if at least one preset hole position is vacant, it means that at least one quality control product or calibration product has not been input into the sample module 100.

[0138] In this embodiment, the first recognition module may be a visual device.

[0139] It should be noted that this embodiment requires the user to place the quality control products or calibration products into the preset wells. In some further embodiments, each preset well is also arranged in a preset concentration order, and the user places each quality control product or calibration product into the corresponding preset well according to the preset concentration order. In this way, when a preset well is vacant, the controller can also specifically determine which quality control products or calibration products of the quality control product combination or calibration product combination have not yet output the sample module 100 based on the image information.

[0140] In this embodiment, in combination with the above-mentioned embodiment, the buffer area is set in the first sample storage mechanism. When at least one quality control product or calibration product has not been output from the sample module 100, the input quality control product or calibration product directly waits in the first sample storage mechanism.

[0141] In other specific embodiments, the first identification module is connected to the first sample transfer mechanism, and the aforementioned control of the first identification module to detect whether all quality control products or calibration products in the quality control product combination or the calibration product combination are input into the sample module 100, or control of the first identification module to detect whether all quality control products or calibration products in the quality control product combination or the calibration product combination are input into the track module 200 specifically refers to: controlling the first identification module to obtain the barcode information of the sample during the process of the first sample transfer mechanism transferring the sample from the first sample storage mechanism to the track module 200, and the controller determines whether all quality control products or calibration products in the quality control product combination or the calibration product combination are input into the sample module 100 based on the barcode information, or whether all of them enter the track module 200.

[0142] Specifically, the first sample transfer mechanism of this embodiment is a manipulator, and the so-called "process of transferring samples from the first sample storage mechanism to the track module 200" includes a grabbing step, a lifting step, and a transfer step, etc. The grabbing step refers to the step of the manipulator moving downward from the top of the corresponding sample to the grabbing position, and the manipulator closing and grabbing the sample. The lifting step refers to the operation of driving the sample upward to a certain height after the manipulator is closed. The transfer step refers to the step of the manipulator driving the sample to move horizontally to the top of the track module 200 and putting down the sample after lifting. The first recognition module in this embodiment can be a visual device or a barcode scanning device, which moves with the manipulator. When the manipulator transfers the sample, the first recognition module reads the barcode information of the sample, and the controller determines whether the sample is a quality control product or a calibration product based on the barcode information. When the manipulator performs all the transfer operations, if the first recognition module recognizes the barcode information of all quality control products or calibration products, it means that all quality control products or calibration products have been input into the sample module 100. If the barcode information of at least one quality control product or calibration product is not recognized, it means that at least one quality control product or calibration product has not been output from the sample module 100.

[0143] It should be noted that when the first identification module identifies the barcode information during the lifting stage, if the sample grabbed by the robot is a quality control product or a calibration product, and the first identification module has not yet identified the barcode information of all the quality control products or calibration products, the robot will reinsert the quality control products or calibration products into the sample rack to wait for others. After all the quality control products or calibration products have been input into the sample module 100, the robot will move all the quality control products or calibration products into the track module 200 in sequence.

[0144] It should be noted that in other scenarios, after the robot grabs the sample, regardless of whether the sample is a quality control product or a calibration product, it is directly transferred to the track module 200. At this time, the controller can determine whether all quality control products or calibration products have entered the track module 200 based on the barcode information.

[0145] It should also be explained that the so-called manipulator executing all transfer operations means: when one or some drawers are pulled out, the first recognition module or other visual modules recognize the image information of the drawer that has been moved, and the manipulator transfers each hole position where a sample exists according to the image information; or the manipulator blindly grasps all the hole positions, skips the hole position if it grasps empty, and grasps the next hole position, and executes the transfer operation if it grasps a sample; or the manipulator blindly grasps the hole position, and when the preset conditions are met (for example, N consecutive empty grasps), it is determined that all transfer operations have been executed.

[0146] In other specific embodiments, the first identification module is connected to the track module 200, and the aforementioned control of the first identification module to detect whether all the quality control products or calibration products in the quality control product combination or calibration product combination have all entered the track module 200 specifically refers to: controlling the first identification module to obtain the barcode information of the sample when the track module 200 transports the sample, and the controller determines whether all the quality control products or calibration products in the quality control product combination or calibration product combination have all entered the track module 200 based on the barcode information. In other words, the manipulator in this embodiment directly transfers the sample to the track module 200 after grabbing the sample, and the track module 200 transports the sample through the first identification module to identify whether it is a quality control product or a calibration product.

[0147] On the basis of the first embodiment, in some embodiments, when the time interval of the first quality control product or the first calibration product entering the track module 200 since entering the track module 200 is greater than or equal to the first preset value, and no other quality control products or calibration products are input into the sample module 100 or enter the track module 200 from the sample module 100, or when the time interval of the last quality control product or the last calibration product entering the track module 200 since entering the track module 200 is greater than or equal to the second preset value, and no other quality control products or calibration products are input into the sample module 100 or enter the track module 200 from the sample module 100 0, or, when the time interval between the first quality control product or the first calibration product entering the track module is greater than or equal to a third preset value, and the remaining quality control products or calibration products in the quality control product combination or the calibration product combination are not all input into the sample module or are not all entered into the track module from the sample module, the controller is also configured to output a warning message to remind the user of the timeout, and / or control the track module 200 to transport the quality control products or calibration products in the track module 200 to the sample module 100, so as to facilitate the user to take away or replenish the remaining quality control products or calibration products, thereby avoiding affecting the throughput of the track module 200.

[0148] On the basis of the first embodiment, in some embodiments, the sample analysis system further includes a first identification module, and the controller is further configured to control the first identification module to obtain sample information of the sample in the sample module 100 or the track module 200, and determine whether the sample is a quality control product or a calibration product based on the sample information, and / or, when the sample is a quality control product or a calibration product, determine the sequence of the quality control product or calibration product in the quality control product combination or the calibration product combination. Specifically, the first identification module can be a visual device for photographing the second carrying component in the aforementioned embodiment, a visual device or a code scanning device connected to the first sample transfer mechanism, or a visual device or a code scanning device connected to the track module, and its specific judgment method can be understood with reference to the aforementioned embodiment.

[0149] On the basis of the first embodiment, in some embodiments, the track module 200 has a liquid suction position 230. Specifically, when the track module 200 includes the aforementioned sample suction track, the liquid suction position 230 is set on the sample suction track, and the target sample analysis module includes a liquid suction component. Based on this, the aforementioned control track module 200 is used to transport the quality control product or calibration product to the target sample analysis module, and the target sample analysis module is controlled to analyze the quality control product or calibration product according to the preset concentration sequence. Specifically, it means that the control track module 200 is used to transport the quality control product or calibration product to the liquid suction position 230, and the liquid suction component is controlled to perform liquid suction operations on the quality control product or calibration product according to the preset concentration sequence.

[0150] On the basis of the first embodiment, in some embodiments, the target sample analysis module has a liquid aspiration position 230. Specifically, for example, the target sample analysis module also has a sample transfer mechanism such as a manipulator, and the manipulator can transfer the quality control product or calibration product from the track module 200 to the liquid aspiration position 230 in the target sample analysis module, and the liquid aspiration component of the target sample analysis module aspirates the quality control product or calibration product. Based on this, the aforementioned control track module 200 is controlled to transport the quality control product or calibration product to the target sample analysis module, and the target sample analysis module is controlled to analyze the quality control product or calibration product according to the preset concentration sequence. Specifically, it means that the control track module 200 is controlled to transport the quality control product or calibration product to the liquid aspiration position 230, and the liquid aspiration component is controlled to aspirate the quality control product or calibration product according to the preset concentration sequence.

[0151] When the track module 200 or the target sample analysis module has a liquid aspiration position 230, in some embodiments, if the quality control product or calibration product is abnormal, such as there is a liquid aspiration abnormality during liquid aspiration, or there is an abnormality in the analysis result, it is necessary to perform a retest operation, that is, to re-aspirate and analyze. When at least one quality control product or calibration product that has performed a liquid aspiration operation needs to be retested, the controller is also configured to determine whether the target sample analysis module meets the preset conditions. If the target sample analysis module meets the preset conditions, it is considered that the liquid aspiration operation of the target sample analysis module on the previous quality control product or calibration product will affect the subsequent analysis accuracy of the quality control product or calibration product that needs to be retested, and the controller controls the target sample analysis module to perform the corresponding operation. If the target sample analysis module does not meet the preset conditions, it is considered that the liquid aspiration operation of the target sample analysis module on the previous quality control product or calibration product will not affect the subsequent analysis accuracy of the quality control product or calibration product that needs to be retested, and the controller controls the target sample analysis module to perform other operations.

[0152] In some specific embodiments, the controller is configured to obtain the time interval since the last time the aspiration component performed an aspiration operation on a quality control product or a calibrator. The aforementioned judgment on whether the target sample analysis module meets the preset conditions specifically refers to: if the time interval is less than or equal to the seventh preset value, it means that the residue after the last aspiration may affect the retest. For example, the preset concentration order is from low concentration to high concentration. Taking the calibrator as an example, assuming that the sample combination includes calibrators No. 1 to No. 5, and the concentrations increase successively, then the last aspiration operation of the aspiration component is the aspiration operation performed on calibrator No. 5, and its residual sample concentration is the highest. If calibrator No. 1 needs to be retested, there is a large concentration difference between the residual liquid and the calibrator No. 1. Therefore, it is judged that the target sample analysis module meets the preset conditions. If the time interval is greater than the seventh preset value, multiple aspiration operations of other samples may have been performed, or multiple ordinary cleaning operations have been performed, and the risk of retesting the sample being affected is reduced. Therefore, it is judged that the target sample analysis module does not meet the preset conditions.

[0153] In other specific embodiments, the controller is configured to obtain the number of times the target sample analysis module performs a cleaning operation. The aforementioned judgment of whether the target sample analysis module meets the preset conditions specifically refers to: if the number of cleaning times is less than or equal to the eighth preset value, it means that the number of cleaning times experienced in the middle is small, and the residue after the last aspiration may affect the re-test, then it is judged that the target sample analysis module meets the preset conditions; if the number of cleaning times is greater than the eighth preset value, it means that the number of cleaning times experienced in the middle is large, then it is judged that the target sample analysis module does not meet the preset conditions.

[0154] In other specific embodiments, the controller is also configured to obtain the number of times the target sample analysis module performs an analysis operation. Usually, the sample analysis module will perform a normal cleaning operation after completing an analysis operation to avoid cross-contamination between samples. Based on this, the aforementioned judgment of whether the target sample analysis module meets the preset conditions specifically refers to: if the number of analyses is less than or equal to the ninth preset value, it also means that the number of cleanings experienced in the middle is small, and it is judged that the target sample analysis module meets the preset conditions; if the number of analyses is greater than the ninth preset value, it also means that the number of cleanings experienced in the middle is large, and it is judged that the target sample analysis module does not meet the preset conditions.

[0155] In some specific embodiments, if the target sample analysis module meets the preset conditions, in order to reduce the influence of residual liquid on the retest sample, the target sample analysis module will perform an enhanced cleaning operation, and the cleaning intensity of the enhanced cleaning operation is higher than that of the ordinary cleaning operation. For example, at least one of the cleaning time, the type of cleaning agent and the concentration of the cleaning agent of the enhanced cleaning operation is different from that of the ordinary cleaning operation. Generally speaking, the cleaning time of the enhanced cleaning operation is longer than that of the ordinary cleaning operation, the enhanced cleaning operation selects a cleaning agent with stronger cleaning ability, and the cleaning agent concentration of the enhanced cleaning operation is higher than that of the ordinary cleaning operation. Similarly, taking the calibration products No. 1 to No. 5 with increasing concentrations as an example, the last liquid suction operation of the liquid suction component is the liquid suction operation performed on the calibration product No. 5. If the calibration product No. 1 needs to be retested, in order to reduce the influence of residual liquid on the retest of the calibration product No. 1, in this embodiment, the sample analysis module 300 will be controlled to perform an enhanced cleaning operation different from the ordinary cleaning operation, and the cleaning ability of the enhanced cleaning operation strengthens the cleaning ability of the ordinary cleaning operation, and after performing the enhanced cleaning operation, the liquid suction component is controlled to perform the liquid suction operation again on the quality control product or calibration product that needs to be retested. It should be noted that, in some specific embodiments, after the enhanced cleaning operation is performed, the track module 200 transports the quality control products or calibration products that need to be retested to the liquid aspiration position to perform another liquid aspiration operation. In other specific embodiments, when the enhanced cleaning operation is performed, the track module 200 has already begun to transport the quality control products or calibration products that need to be retested to the liquid aspiration position. If the enhanced cleaning operation has been completed when the quality control products or calibration products that need to be retested arrive at the liquid aspiration position, the liquid aspiration operation can be performed again. If the enhanced cleaning operation has not been completed when the quality control products or calibration products that need to be retested arrive at the liquid aspiration position, the liquid aspiration operation can be performed again after waiting for the completion. In other specific embodiments, the track module 200 can first transport the quality control products or calibration products that need to be retested to the liquid aspiration position, and then the target sample analysis module performs the enhanced cleaning operation.

[0156] In some specific embodiments, if the target sample analysis module meets the preset conditions, in order to reduce the impact of residual liquid on the retest sample, the track module 200 is controlled to transport all the quality control products or calibration products in the track module 200 to the liquid aspiration position 230 in the preset concentration sequence and perform the liquid aspiration operation again. In other words, in this embodiment, even if only one quality control product or calibration product needs to be retested, all quality control products or calibration products need to be aspirated again in the preset concentration sequence. If the time interval is greater than the seventh preset value, the quality control product or calibration product that needs to be retested is directly transported to the liquid aspiration position 230 and the liquid aspiration operation is performed again.

[0157] In some specific embodiments, if the target sample analysis module meets the preset conditions, in order to reduce the impact of residual liquid on the re-tested sample, the track module 200 is controlled to transport all quality control products or calibration products in the track module 200 to the liquid aspiration position 230 in the reverse order of the preset concentration order and perform the liquid aspiration operation again. For example, the preset concentration order is from low concentration to high concentration. Taking the calibration product as an example, assuming that the sample combination includes calibration products No. 1 to No. 5, and the concentrations increase successively, the last liquid aspiration operation of the liquid aspiration component is the liquid aspiration operation performed on calibration product No. 5. If calibration product No. 1 needs to be re-tested, all quality control products or calibration products are aspirated again in the order from No. 5 to No. 1. In this way, the problem of a large concentration difference between the residual liquid of calibration product No. 5 and calibration product No. 1 can be avoided.

[0158] In the above-mentioned embodiment, if the target sample analysis module does not meet the preset conditions, the quality control product or calibration product that needs to be re-tested can be directly transported to the liquid aspiration position 230 and the liquid aspiration operation can be performed again. It should be noted that the "directly" referred to here means that it does not need to perform an enhanced cleaning operation, and it can choose to perform or not perform a normal cleaning operation as needed.

[0159] In other embodiments, when at least one quality control product or calibration product that has been subjected to an aspiration operation needs to be retested, the quality control product or calibration product that needs to be retested can be directly transported to the aspiration position 230 through the track module 200 and the aspiration operation can be performed again without considering the influence of residual liquid.

[0160] In other embodiments, when at least one quality control product or calibrator that has already undergone aspiration operation needs to be retested, the target sample analysis module may be directly controlled to perform an enhanced cleaning operation without considering whether the target sample analysis module meets the pre-examination conditions.

[0161] On the basis of the first embodiment, in other embodiments, when there are multiple quality control products or calibration products that have undergone sample suction operations and do not need to be retested in the track module 200, the controller is also configured to control the track module 200 to transport the quality control products or calibration products that do not need to be retested to the sample module 100 in a preset concentration sequence, and to control the first sample transfer mechanism to transfer the quality control products or calibration products that do not need to be retested to the first sample storage mechanism in a preset concentration sequence. In this way, for the quality control products or calibration products that can be recycled, it is convenient for users to take away the quality control products or calibration products in order.

[0162] On the basis of the first embodiment, in other embodiments, the aforementioned control target sample analysis module analyzes the quality control products or calibration products in accordance with the preset concentration sequence, specifically referring to: controlling the liquid aspiration component to continuously perform the liquid aspiration operation on each quality control product or calibration product passing through the liquid aspiration position 230. In other words, the continuous analysis of this embodiment means that the liquid aspiration component will not perform the liquid aspiration operation on other samples before completing the liquid aspiration of all the quality control products or calibration products in the quality control product combination or calibration product combination, which is suitable for occasions with high precision requirements. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the time intervals between adjacent quality control products or calibration products passing through the liquid aspiration position 230 may be equal or unequal.

[0163] On the basis of the first embodiment, in other embodiments, the aforementioned control target sample analysis module analyzes the quality control product or calibration product in accordance with the preset concentration sequence, specifically referring to: the control target sample analysis module performs at least one analysis different from the analysis of the quality control product or calibration product between the two analyses performed on the two adjacent quality control products or calibration products in accordance with the preset concentration sequence. This embodiment is suitable for occasions where the accuracy requirement is low or other analyses have little impact on the quality control analysis or calibration analysis. For example, the sample module 100 is also used to store other quality control products, calibration products or case samples that do not belong to the quality control product combination or the calibration product combination (for ease of description, they are collectively referred to as other test objects), and the track module 200 is also used to transport other test objects. In this way, the control liquid aspiration component performs aspiration and analysis operations on at least one other test object between the two-side aspiration operations performed on the two adjacent quality control products or calibration products in accordance with the preset concentration sequence. In other words, before the aspiration of all quality control products or calibration products in the quality control product combination or calibration product combination is completed, the aspiration of other calibration products, quality control products or case samples can be inserted, so that calibration, quality control and other operations can be performed during the daily analysis of the sample analysis system.

[0164] The quality control products or calibration products may be placed out of order when they are input into the sample module 100, or the quality control products or calibration products may be transferred out of order when they are transferred from the sample module 100 to the track module 200, or even if the quality control products or calibration products are transferred to the track module 200 in a preset concentration order, the track module 200 may also disrupt the order during transportation. Based on this, on the basis of the first embodiment, other embodiments also propose a method for adjusting the sequence through the track module 200. Specifically, the track module 200 has an identification position, and the sample analysis system also includes a buffer area, a second identification module and a switching mechanism. The controller is also configured to control the second identification module to detect the barcode information of the quality control product or calibration product that has arrived at the identification position, and obtain the sequence information of the quality control product or calibration product that has arrived at the identification position in the quality control product combination or the calibration product combination based on the barcode information (for ease of distinction, it is named the first sequence information). In some embodiments, the controller is also configured to obtain whether there is a Regarding the information on the presence or absence of quality control products or calibration products, or the quantity information of the quality control products or calibration products in the cache area, or the second priority information of the quality control products or calibration products in the cache area in the quality control product combination or calibration product combination, it should be noted that the quantity information and the presence or absence information can be equivalent in some scenarios. For example, if the number of quality control products or calibration products in the cache area is 0, it can be equivalent to the absence of quality control products or calibration products in the cache area. It should also be noted that the quantity information and the second priority information can be equivalent in some scenarios. For example, when the quality control products or calibration products enter the cache area strictly in order, the quality control products or calibration products in the cache area are also their priority in the quality control product combination or calibration product combination, or, when the priority of the last quality control product or calibration product to enter the cache area in the quality control product combination or calibration product combination is known, the quantity of quality control products or calibration products in the cache area is also known. The controller can choose to obtain the above presence or absence information, quantity information or second priority information as needed.

[0165] Based on the information obtained above, the controller can perform the following control:

[0166] When there are no quality control products or calibration products in the buffer area, and based on the first-order information, the quality control product or calibration product located at the identification position is identified as the first one in the quality control product combination or calibration product combination, the switching mechanism is controlled to make the quality control product or calibration product at the identification position move in a circular motion in the buffer area, or enter the buffer area and stay in the buffer area.

[0167] When there are no quality control products or calibration products in the buffer area, and based on the first priority information, it is identified that the quality control product or calibration product located at the identification position is not the first one in the quality control product combination or calibration product combination, the switching mechanism is controlled so that the quality control product or calibration product at the identification position does not enter the buffer area, but continues to move in the track module 200.

[0168] When there are quality control products or calibration products in the buffer area, and based on the sequence information, it is identified that the quality control product or calibration product located at the identification position is the next quality control product or calibration product of the existing quality control product or calibration product in the buffer area, then the control switching mechanism is controlled to make the quality control product or calibration product at the identification position move cyclically in the buffer area, or enter the buffer area and stay in the buffer area. For example, assuming that the sample combination includes calibration products No. 1 to No. 5, if there are already calibration products No. 1 and No. 2 in the buffer area, when calibration product No. 3 arrives at the identification position, the controller recognizes that calibration product No. 3 is the calibration product (calibration product No. 3) of the next sequence of calibration products (calibration products No. 1 and No. 2) in the buffer area, that is, when the sequence of the calibration product in the calibration product combination is consistent with its actual sequence in the buffer area, the control switching mechanism is controlled to make calibration product No. 3 move cyclically in the buffer area, or enter the buffer area and stay in the buffer area.

[0169] When there are quality control products or calibration products in the buffer area, and it is identified based on the sequence information that the quality control product or calibration product at the identification position is not the next quality control product or calibration product of the quality control product or calibration product in the buffer area, the switching mechanism is controlled so that the quality control product or calibration product at the identification position does not enter the buffer area, but continues to move in the track module 200. For example, there are already calibration products No. 1 and No. 2 in the buffer area. When calibration product No. 4 arrives at the identification position, it is not the calibration product (calibration product No. 3) of the next sequence of calibration products (calibration products No. 1 and No. 2) in the buffer area, and the track module 200 continues to transport calibration product No. 4 forward.

[0170] In some specific embodiments, the buffer area includes a circulating track of the aforementioned second transport unit 220, the circulating track includes a first track 221 and a second track 222 which are arranged in parallel and have opposite transport directions, the switching mechanism includes the aforementioned first switching device 224 and the second switching device 225, and the aforementioned control switching mechanism enables the quality control products or calibration products at the identification position to move in a circular motion within the buffer area, specifically referring to: controlling the first switching device to transfer the quality control products or calibration products from the first track 221 to the second track 222, and controlling the second switching device to transfer the quality control products or calibration products from the second track 222 to the first track 221. Specifically, the positions of the first switching device 224 and the second switching device 225 are both identification positions. When the second track 222 transports the quality control product or the calibration product to the second switching device 225, if the quality control product or the calibration product meets the sequence requirements, the second switching device 225 transfers the quality control product or the calibration product from the second track 222 to the first track 221. When the first track 221 transports the quality control product or the calibration product to the first switching device 224, if the quality control product or the calibration product meets the sequence requirements, the first switching device 224 transfers the quality control product or the calibration product from the first track 221 to the second track 222.

[0171] In some specific embodiments, the buffer area includes the buffer track 211 of the aforementioned first transport unit 210, the first transport unit 210 also includes a third track 212 arranged in parallel with the buffer track 211 and in the same transport direction, the switching mechanism includes a third switching device 213, and the aforementioned control switching mechanism to allow the quality control product or calibration product at the identification position to enter the buffer area specifically refers to: controlling the third switching device to allow the quality control product or calibration product at the identification position to enter the buffer track 211 from the third track 212. Specifically, the position where the third switching device 213 is located is the identification position. When the third track 212 transports the quality control product or calibration product to the third switching device 213, if the quality control product or calibration product meets the sequence requirements, the third switching device 213 allows the quality control product or calibration product to enter the buffer track 211 from the third track 212.

[0172] In some specific embodiments, the buffer area includes a sample suction track 223 of the second transport unit 220, the first transport unit 210 also includes a second track 222 arranged in parallel with the sample suction track 223 and having the same transmission direction, the switching mechanism includes a fourth switching device 226, and the aforementioned control switching mechanism to allow the quality control product or calibration product at the identification position to enter the buffer area specifically refers to: controlling the fourth switching device to allow the quality control product or calibration product at the identification position to enter the sample suction track 223 from the second track 222. Specifically, the position where the fourth switching device 226 is located is the identification position. When the second track 222 transports the quality control product or calibration product to the fourth switching device 226, if the quality control product or calibration product meets the sequence requirements, the fourth switching device 226 allows the quality control product or calibration product to enter the sample suction track 223 from the second track 222.

[0173] It should be noted that the switching mechanism can be a turntable. Taking the aforementioned first switching device 224 as an example, the turntable is set in the gap between the first track 221 and the second track 222, and spans the first track 221 and the second track 222 at the same time. The sample can be transferred from the first track 221 to the second track 222 through the turntable.

[0174] The switching mechanism can also be a guide plate. Taking the aforementioned third switching device 213 as an example, the third switching device 213 is arranged at the gap between the second track 222 and the sample suction track 223. When the guide plate rotates to the initial state, the guide plate is parallel to the track wall and closes the gap, and the sample can pass through unimpeded. When the guide plate rotates to the guiding state, the gap is opened, so that the sample can be guided from the second track 222 to the sample suction track 223.

[0175] The switching mechanism can also be a robot, and the track module is correspondingly provided with a blocking mechanism at the identification position. When the sample reaches the identification position, it is blocked by the blocking mechanism. If the sample is a quality control product or a calibration product and meets the sequence requirements, the robot grabs the quality control product or calibration product and transfers it to the cache area, or makes it move in a cycle in the cache area. For example, the robot can grab the quality control product or calibration product from the third track 212 into the cache track 211, or grab the quality control product or calibration product in the first track 221 into the second track 222, and grab the quality control product or calibration product in the second track 222 into the first track 221, thereby realizing the circular movement of the sample.

[0176] It should also be noted that the retention of the quality control product or calibration product in the buffer area can be achieved by the blocking mechanism mentioned in the above embodiments.

[0177] On the basis of the first embodiment, in some embodiments, the at least one target item mentioned above includes a first item and a second item, and the preset concentration sequence includes a first sub-concentration sequence and a second sub-concentration sequence. Based on this, at least one quality control item in the quality control item combination (for the convenience of description, it is named a composite quality control item) is configured to be used at least for achieving continuous pipetting of the first item with other quality control items in the quality control item combination in a first sub-concentration sequence. The composite quality control item is also configured to be used at least for achieving continuous pipetting of the second item with other quality control items in the quality control item combination in a second sub-concentration sequence. The continuous pipetting referred to here is understood with reference to the aforementioned embodiments. For example, continuous pipetting for the first item means that before completing the pipetting of each quality control item of the first item, pipetting of other quality control items in the quality control item combination is not performed. In other words, the composite quality control product can be combined with other quality control products to form at least two combinations. When the liquid aspiration component aspirates the composite quality control product, the number of aspirations is equal to the number of target projects in which the composite quality control product participates. Taking the following table as an example, quality control product No. 1 is used for testing the normal concentration of project A and the normal concentration of project B (i.e., low concentration), quality control product No. 2 is used for testing the abnormal concentration (i.e., high concentration) of project B, quality control product No. 3 is used for testing the abnormal concentration (i.e., high concentration) of project A, quality control product No. 1 and quality control product No. 2 are used together for the quality control of project A, and quality control product No. 1 and quality control product No. 3 are used together for the quality control of project B.

[0178]

[0179] Since the composite quality control product is involved in different projects, different projects may cause sequence conflicts. For example, when the three samples are combined in the first sub-sequence of No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3, the aspiration component aspirates the quality control product No. 1 twice, then aspirates the quality control product No. 2 once, and then aspirates the quality control product No. 3 once. At this time, the continuous aspiration of Project B from normal concentration to abnormal concentration can be satisfied. However, the aspiration operation of the normal concentration and abnormal concentration of Project A is separated by the aspiration operation of the quality control product No. 2, resulting in discontinuous aspiration of Project A and a risk of inaccurate testing. On the contrary, when the three samples are combined in the second sub-sequence of No. 1, No. 3, and No. 2, the aspiration component aspirates the quality control product No. 1 twice, then aspirates the quality control product No. 3 once, and then aspirates the quality control product No. 2 once. At this time, the continuous aspiration of project A from normal concentration to abnormal concentration can be satisfied. However, the aspiration operation of the normal concentration and abnormal concentration of project B is separated by the aspiration operation of the quality control product No. 2, resulting in discontinuous aspiration of project A and a risk of inaccurate testing.

[0180] Based on the above problems, the controller of this embodiment is also configured to obtain the priority of the first project and the second project. When the priority of the first project is higher than that of the second project, the aforementioned control target sample analysis module analyzes the quality control product in the preset concentration order, which specifically means: the control target sample analysis module analyzes the quality control products in the quality control product combination according to the first sub-concentration order. For example, if the priority of project B is higher than that of project A, the risk of project B is eliminated first. At this time, the track module 200 transports quality control product No. 1, quality control product No. 2, and quality control product No. 3 in order, so as to achieve continuous liquid aspiration of quality control product No. 1 and quality control product No. 2.

[0181] It should be noted that the so-called "other quality control products" can be either ordinary quality control products used for a target project or composite quality control products. Taking the following table as an example, quality control products No. 2 and No. 3 are also composite quality control products. When the priority of Project B and Project C is higher than that of Project A, the three samples are combined in the first sub-sequence of No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3, and the liquid aspiration component aspirates No. 1 quality control product twice, then No. 2 quality control product twice, and then No. 3 quality control product twice in this order. At this time, Project B and Project C can be continuously aspirated from normal concentration to abnormal concentration.

[0182]

[0183] Similarly, at least one target item includes a third item and a fourth item, the preset concentration sequence includes a third sub-concentration sequence and a fourth sub-concentration sequence, at least one calibrator in the calibration product combination (for ease of description, it is named a composite calibrator) is configured to be used in the third sub-concentration sequence with other calibrators in the calibration product combination to at least achieve continuous pipetting of the third item, and the composite calibrator is also configured to be used in the fourth sub-concentration sequence with other calibrators in the calibration product combination to at least achieve continuous pipetting of the fourth item.

[0184] In this embodiment, the controller is also configured to obtain the priorities of the third item and the fourth item. When the priority of the third item is higher than the priority of the fourth item, the aforementioned control target sample analysis module analyzes the calibrant in the calibration material combination according to the preset concentration order, which specifically means: the control target sample analysis module analyzes the calibrant in the calibration material combination according to the third sub-concentration order.

[0185] On the basis of the first embodiment, in some embodiments, the sample analysis system also includes an operation interface, and the operation interface is configured to accept user instructions to adjust the preset concentration order. In this way, it is convenient for the user to adjust the order according to actual needs. In some specific embodiments, the order of the quality control products or calibration products in the quality control product combination or the calibration product combination can be adjusted. For example, the order of aspirating from No. 1 to No. 5 is adjusted to the order of aspirating No. 1, No. 2, No. 4, No. 5, and No. 3. In some specific embodiments, the aspiration of one or some quality control products or calibration products can also be skipped. For example, the order of aspirating from No. 1 to No. 5 is adjusted to the order of aspirating No. 1, No. 2, No. 4, No. 5, and No. 3.

[0186] The second embodiment of the present invention provides a sample analysis system, referring to Figure 1 The sample analysis system includes a sample module 100, a track module 200, multiple sample analysis modules 300, multiple first supporting components and a controller, wherein the connection relationship, relative position and main functions of the sample module 100, the track module 200, the multiple sample analysis modules 300 and the multiple first supporting components can be understood with reference to the aforementioned embodiments.

[0187] In this embodiment, the sample module 100 is used to store a cleaning liquid combination, which includes multiple cleaning liquids, each of which has different cleaning capabilities. It should be noted that different cleaning capabilities can refer to cleaning capabilities that are suitable for the same type of substances but with different cleaning intensities, or can be used for cleaning different types of substances. The cleaning project requires that each cleaning liquid of the cleaning liquid combination be absorbed by the target sample analysis module in a preset cleaning order, thereby achieving the cleaning function.

[0188] Specifically, the sample module includes a first sample storage mechanism and a first sample transfer mechanism, the first sample storage mechanism is used to store the aforementioned cleaning liquid combination, the first sample transfer mechanism is at least used to transfer the cleaning liquid in the first sample storage mechanism to the first carrying component, and the first carrying component is used to place a cleaning liquid. The track module is used to transport the cleaning liquid placed on the first carrying component to the target sample analysis module in each sample analysis module. The controller is configured to control the track module to transport the cleaning liquid to the target sample analysis module, and control the target sample analysis module to aspirate the cleaning liquid according to a preset cleaning sequence. This embodiment is applicable to the cleaning and maintenance process of the internal pipelines of the sample analysis module 300, such as the maintenance and cleaning process of the aspiration pipeline of the ion selective electrode.

[0189] It should be noted that the sample module 100 may be the aforementioned input / output module, a stand-alone sample loading module or a low-temperature storage module, etc.

[0190] The third embodiment of the present invention provides a sample analysis system, referring to Figure 1 The sample analysis system includes a sample module 100, a track module 200, a plurality of sample analysis modules 300 and a controller, wherein the connection relationship, relative position and main functions of the sample module 100, the track module 200 and the plurality of sample analysis modules 300 can be understood with reference to the aforementioned embodiments.

[0191] The sample module 100 of this embodiment is used to accommodate a plurality of carrying containers, and the carrying containers are used to accommodate solutions. The solutions in each carrying container form a solution combination, and the solutions in the solution combination are configured to be aspirated by the sample analysis module in a preset order to achieve a specific function. Specifically, the solution in the solution combination can be a calibration solution, and the calibration solution is aspirated by the sample analysis module in a preset concentration order to achieve a calibration function. The solution in the solution combination can be the aforementioned quality control solution, and the quality control solution is aspirated by the sample analysis module in a preset concentration order to achieve a quality control function. The solution in the solution combination can be a cleaning solution, and the quality control solution is aspirated by the sample analysis module in a preset cleaning order to achieve a cleaning function. The track module 200 connects the sample module 100 and the sample analysis module 300, and transports the carrying containers containing solutions transferred by the first sample transfer mechanism one by one. The track module 200 has a liquid aspiration position, and when the carrying container containing solutions reaches the liquid aspiration position, the sample analysis module 300 can perform a liquid aspiration operation on the solutions.

[0192] It should be noted that in some scenarios, some solutions in the solution combination are used to process the same project, including the aforementioned composite quality control products or composite calibrators, for example, the aforementioned quality control product No. 1 and quality control product No. 2 are used for quality control of project A; in other scenarios, all solutions in the solution combination are used to process the same project, for example, the solution is a calibrator solution, and all calibrator solutions are used for calibration of the same project.

[0193] On the basis of the third embodiment, in some embodiments, the aforementioned different solutions in each containment container specifically refers to: the solutes of the solutions in at least some of the containment containers are different. In some further embodiments, the solutes of each solution are different, or the solutes of some solutions are different, and the solutes of some solutions are the same but with different concentrations. It should be noted that the different solutions also include the solutes of each solution being the same but with different concentrations.

[0194] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made within the knowledge of ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention. In addition, the embodiments of the present invention and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.
