摘要:
A plurality of analyzer units for serum, a plurality of analyzer units for blood plasma and a plurality of analyzer units are arranged along a main transfer line for transferring a sample rack from a rack delivery portion to a rack returning portion. A reagent bottle for inspecting liver function is contained in each of reagent delivery mechanisms of two analyzer units among the plurality of analyzer units for serum. When reagent for inspecting liver function in one of the two analyzer units is to be short, analysis for liver function analysis item to samples can be continued by transferring a sample rack from the rack delivery portion to the other analyzer unit.
摘要:
In an automatic analyzer (10), wastage of specimens and a liquid used to process each specimen is prevented by detecting the remaining quantity of the liquid, such as reagent, diluent liquid or cleaning liquid. The empty weight data (m) of a liquid container (12), and the current weight data (M) of the liquid container (12) when containing liquid, are received by an operation processor (21) of the automatic analyzer (10). The operation processor (21) determines the remaining liquid quantity (Q = M-m) of the liquid container (12) and the required liquid quantity (D) necessary for processing a specimen. By comparing both of them (Q and D), it is judged whether or not to process the specimen.

The assay system (2) for analysis slides (10) uses a magnetic card (4) which is contained in each slide package in order to input information required for determination. The magnetic card (4) carries two types or information which are both required for assay. The two types or information are: fixed information such as the amount of a sample to be spotted, a wave length for photometry, data processing method, coefficients for completing a basic standard curve, a range of values of the amount or activity of an analyte, a display range, the number of digits to be displayed, and display units; and variable information, such as a lot number required for correction of fluctuation of measured or calculated values caused by possible variation of characteristics of analysis films differing from one lot to another, an analyte code, the name of the analyte, and correction or compensation coefficients. Thus, the system automatically responds to a change in such information if any, when reading in the information.

Analysesystem zur automatischen Analyse von Körperflüssigkeiten auf eine Mehrzahl von verschiedenen Analyten (Parametern). Ein Analysegerät weist Reaktionsgefäße (8) auf, die auf dem Gerät zu verschiedenen Bearbeitungsstationen (10 bis 16) transportiert werden. Weiter gehören zu dem System flüssige Reagenzien, die auf dem Gerät in Reagenzgefäßen (9) bereitgehalten werden, wobei deren Inhalt für eine Vielzahl von Analysen ausreicht. Um einen hohen Grad an Analysegenauigkeit mit reduzierter Wahrscheinlichkeit von Bedienungsfehlern und ohne wesentliche Erhöhung der System-Gesamtkosten zu erreichen, wird ein Kalibrator in einer Kalibratorstation (17) des Analysegerätes in flüssiger Form gebrauchsfertig vorrätig gehalten, die Kalibration wird für die verschiedenen Parameter unabhängig voneinander initiiert und vollautomatisch (d.h. ohne menschliches Eingreifen) durchgeführt. Dabei läuft zur Initiierung der Kalibration für einen Parameter ein spezifisch vorbestimmter Kalibrationsinitiierungszyklus ab, in welchem jeweils mindestens eine systemimmanente Kalibrations-Einflußgröße abgefragt, mit einem für den jeweiligen Parameter spezifisch definierten Steuerungswert logisch verknüpft und die Entscheidung über die Initiierung der Kalibration unter Berücksichtigung der logischen Verknüpfung automatisch getroffen wird.
摘要:
When a lid (5) of a reagent container housing unit (7) is closed, an opening/closing detector (4) outputs a signal. A control unit (11) gives an instruction of moving a row of reagent containers (1) and a bar code reader (3) relative to each other to a driving unit and an instruction of starting the data reading operation to the bar code reader (3). When the lid (5) of the container housing unit is closed, all the data which have been already read are reset. An automatic analyzing apparatus can select, in place of the data reading mode, the liquid level detection mode in which a level of the liquid in each of the reagent containers is detected.

A long-test-film cassette (1) for biochemical analysis comprises an unused film cassette part (2) accommodating an unused long test film (3') for biochemical analysis, and a used film cassette part (4) for accommodating the long test film (3") which has been pulled out of the unused film cassette part and used for biochemical analysis. A leading edge of the film is secured to a reel (6) in the used film cassette part. In a cassette loading system, the unused film cassette part is provided with a protruded test film outlet portion and is loaded to a refrigerating compartment of an analysis apparatus with the test film outlet portion fitted in a hole of the refrigerating compartment.
摘要:
A unique method and apparatus for dispensing tablets (T) having particular application in the clinical analysis of biological samples. A series of containers (24) are advanced past a plurality of processing stations, one of which is a tablet dispenser (40) in turn. The processing stations are selectively activated by a controller (100). A sensor (200) is associated with the tablet dispenser (40) and is arranged to detect whether a tablet (T) has actually entered a container (24). The sensor (200) is activated only when the tablet dispenser (40) is activated. The controller (100) is responsive to the sensor (200) in dependence upon the condition sensed by the sensor (200).
