A placement slot 205 is provided on the instrument body 1. A water tank 206 and a water pump 209 are installed on the instrument body 1 through the placement slot 205. A first water pipe 210 connected to the inside of the water tank 206 is installed at the input end of the water pump 209, and a second water pipe 211 is installed at the output end of the water pump 209. One end of the second water pipe 211 is connected to a square pipe 212 located inside the instrument body 1. The bottom of the square pipe 212... The instrument body 1 is equipped with multiple nozzles 213, and the water outlets of the nozzles 213 are all located in the pretreatment tank 201.

The top of the storage box 215 is connected to a flexible hose 217 that is connected to the pretreatment tank 201. According to the above technical solution, specifically, by removing the tray 103 and inserting it into the pretreatment tank 201, and then installing the mounting plate 203, the water pump 209 is started to introduce the water in the water tank 206 into the second water pipe 211 through the first water pipe 210, and then into the square pipe 212 through the second water pipe 211. The water is then sprayed out through the nozzles 213 to rinse the surface of the tray 103. Subsequently, the wastewater flows into the storage box 215 through the flexible hose 217, thereby achieving the effect of pre-rinsing the tray 103 and minimizing the impact of residual specimens on the accuracy of subsequent specimen testing.
