摘要:
When an automatic analyzer has several reagents for an analysis item, it is time consuming to create a calibration curve factor for each reagent, which increases the burden of the operator. Applying a single calibration curve factor to a reagent set (multiple reagents) of an analysis item, however, may result in misleading analysis data due to the discrepancy in reagent production lot number and in the reactive characteristics of reagents due to reagent deterioration. The automatic analyzer of the invention stores: a predetermined period from the opening of a reagent vessel to the deterioration of the reagent; a reagent production lot number, reagent vessel unsealing time, and reagent expiration date as reagent information kept on a reagent-set-by-set basis; and relevant calibration curve factor information. The automatic analyzer judges whether a calibration curve factor for a reagent set is applicable or not to another reagent set of the analyzer with the same production number based on the predetermined period from the reagent vessel unsealing time and on the reagent expiration date.

摘要:
A sample analyzer is provided that does not require a plurality of reagent containers containing the same type of reagent to be connected, that can continue measurement even when a reagent container becomes empty, and that allows the timing of replacement of the reagent container to be recognized suitably. A reagent storage section is provided that is connected to a reagent container containing a reagent through a fluid channel and that stores the reagent transferred from the reagent container. A message for prompting replacement of the reagent container is outputted when it is detected that the remaining amount in the reagent container is a predetermined amount or less. A message for prompting to suspend sample measurement in the measurement section is outputted when it is detected that the remaining amount in the reagent storage section is a predetermined amount or less.
摘要:
An automatic analyzer can operate a reagent distribution operation suitable for a reagent vessel adapted to the reagent, having high reliability of analysis data and high processing ability. It is checked whether a liquid undulation prevention mechanism is present or absent in a reagent vessel at the start of an operation (steps 601 and 602). When the liquid leakage prevention mechanism is absent in the reagent vessel, the size of the opening of the reagent vessel is judged (step 604). A nozzle is inserted and lowered into the reagent vessel after one cycle from the stop of a reagent disk to judge the contact of the nozzle to the liquid surface. When the opening is larger size, a capacitance method is used (step 607). When the opening is small size, a pressure detection is used (step 608). When the liquid leakage prevention mechanism is present, the size of the opening is judged (step 604). The nozzle is inserted and lowered into the reagent vessel just after the stop of the reaction disk to judge the contact of the nozzle to the liquid surface. When the opening is larger size, a capacitance method is used (step 605). When the opening is small size, a pressure detection is used (step 606).
摘要:
The present invention provides an index that makes it possible to use, in an automatic analyzer, an approximate expression based on a theoretical chemical reaction formula derived from reaction process data, and automatically check for apparatus abnormalities, reagent deteriorations, and improper accuracy control during each continuous or individual inspection. Reaction process data, which is measured when the automatic analyzer determines the relationship between reaction absorbance and time, is approximated to ABS = A 0 + A 1 (1-e -kt ) by the least-squares method. The resulting reaction start point absorbance A 0 , final reaction absorbance A 1 , reaction rate constant k, and residual error, which is the aggregate sum of differences between approximate values and measured values, are then used as the index of reaction status.
