摘要:
The pressure signal process unit 98 acquires data under a predetermined condition. A calculation unit 94 calculates a statistic distance between the acquired data and determination-purpose reference data stored in a storage unit 93. An abnormal dispensing determination unit 97 determines whether or not dispensing is abnormal. A suitability verification unit 95 verifies whether the determination-purpose reference data is suitable for an abnormality detection function to be properly fulfilled. In a case where it is determined that the determination-purpose reference data is not suitable for an abnormality detection function to be properly fulfilled, temporary determination-purpose reference data is prepared so as to be compared with the previously acquired data under a predetermined condition. In a case where a difference therebetween is greater than a predetermined threshold value, the suitability verification unit 95 determines a possibility that an automatic analyzer may have an abnormal component or that a failure may occur in the automatic analyzer, transmits the result to the control instruction unit 99, and causes a display device 92 to display an alarm. In this manner, it is possible to accurately detect a state where component replacement or device adjustment is required, without being affected by a time-dependent change or replacement of each component configuring a channel.

An automatic analyzer which performs a suction operation a plurality of times on a same sample has a sample dispensing unit 9, a liquid level sensor which detects the liquid level of the sample in a sample vessel 8, an arithmetic unit 5 which computes a liquid level height h1 at the end of a first suction operation of the two consecutive suction operations from a liquid level height h0 and a sample suction volume V1 detected at the start of the first suction operation, a storage unit 7 which stores the liquid level height h1 computed by the arithmetic unit 5, and a determination unit 18 which compares a liquid level height h2 detected at the start of a second suction operation following the first suction operation with the liquid level height h1 at the end of the first suction operation. The automatic analyzer further determines the presence or absence of a failure in the first or second suction operation according to whether the difference between both liquid level heights h1 and h2 exceeds a threshold value d set in advance. Thus, it is possible to determine whether the suction operation of the sample dispensing unit has been performed properly.

An automatic analysis apparatus comprises: a light source that generates light having a center wavelength equal to or shorter than 340 nm; a fluorescent substance that is excited with light of the light source to emit light, and that generates light, together with transmitted light from the light source, having a wavelength of 340 nm to 800 nm; a condenser lens; at least one slit; a reaction cell that holds a reaction solution in which a specimen and a reagent are mixed, and that the light from the light source and the light from the fluorescent substance enter; and a detector that detects light transmitted through the reaction cell. The light source, the fluorescent substance, the condenser lens, and the slit, are provided along a straight light corresponding to the optical axis. The width of an opening of the slit is equal to or narrower than the width of a ray forming an image of the light source at the position of the slit.

An automatic analyzer having a washing tank from which water for washing a reagent or sample probe can be drained efficiently and which is capable of further increasing the flow velocity and the flow rate of the water for washing the reagent or sample probe and improving the washing effect is developed. A vent plate 303 is provided in an overflow portion 222 of the washing tank. The washing water from a washing nozzle 201 spreads from a throttle portion 305 and is divided into right and left flows after colliding with the vent plate 303. The washing water flows between the vent plate 303 and the inner wall of the overflow portion 222, and the flows join behind the vent plate 303. After joining, the washing water flows downward along the vent plate 303 and the inner wall of the overflow portion 222 and then is drained. Because a space is created between the washing water which has collided with the vent plate 303 and the washing water joined behind the vent plate 303, the washing water is prevented from completely covering the overflow portion 222, and the airflow can be secured during the drainage.
摘要:
This invention provides an automatic analyzer adapted to enhance sample/reagent dispensing accuracy, regardless of a difference in sample/reagent dispensing height of a dispensing probe. When the amount of sample in a sample container is small, tip height "h1" of a sample dispensing probe 17 positioned immediately after it has aspirated the sample decreases below tip height "h'" of the sample dispensing probe 17 positioned immediately before it discharges the sample. The sample in this state takes a concave shape at the tip of the sample dispensing probe 17 positioned immediately before it discharges the sample. When the amount of sample in a sample container is large, tip height "h2" of the sample dispensing probe 17 positioned immediately after it has aspirated the sample increases above the tip height "h'" and the sample takes a convex shape at the tip of the sample dispensing probe 17 positioned immediately before it discharges the sample. The difference in the sample-aspirating tip height of the sample dispensing probe 17 appears as a difference in a discharge quantity of the sample. Highly accurate and highly reliable data measurements can be performed by detecting the sample-aspirating tip height of the sample dispensing probe 17 and correcting a discharge quantity of the sample appropriately as the amount of driving of a fixed-volume dispensing syringe 25, according to the detected tip height.
摘要:
An automatic analyzer for judging normal and abnormal of the dispensing operation for detecting abnormal condition of dispensing operation caused by various causes to execute an analysis with high reliability with no requirement of great amount of reference data is realized. A plunger 66 is moved downwardly in predetermined distance while the tip of the sample probe 15 is immersed in a sample to suck the sample into the probe. A pressure sensor 26 detects the pressure fluctuation during the suction operation, an AD converter converting the signals into digital signals to send the signals for a signal processing unit 76. The signal processing unit 76 extracts feature variables data of a suction waveform to calculate the Statistical distance D from normal group data. The Statistical distance D an a threshold value th are compared with each other, it is judged that there is an abnormality in the suction operation when the Statistical distance D is more than or equal to the threshold value th. When the Statistical distance D is smaller than the threshold value th, an operation is proceeded to a discharge operation. After the discharge operation, the values of the feature variables of the discharge waveform are extracted, and the Statistical distance D from the normal group data is calculated. When the Statistical distance d D is more than or equal to the predetermined threshold value th, it is judged that there is an abnormality.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide an automatic analysis device capable of determining, through a simple processing, whether or not idle aspirate has occurred. The automatic analysis device according to the present invention determines whether or not idle aspirate has occurred, by calculating a parameter which specifies whether or not the length of a portion of a path through which the sample passes inside a dispensing probe is shorter than that during normal aspirate, the portion being actually filled with a sample
