    Abstract: Methods of identifying a characteristic of a clinical analysis specimen or a sample container containing the specimen are disclosed. The methods include moving the sample container along a track while causing translation and rotation of the sample container, and capturing two or more images of the sample container during the translation and rotation. The track may have one or more moveable belts contacting a carrier to rotate and translate the carrier holding the sample container. Image analysis may be used to read a barcode label of the sample container, determine HIL, and/or physical characteristics of the sample container. Apparatus for carrying out the method are described, as are other aspects.

    Abstract: When a STAT sample which needs to be centrifuged is inputted in the system, a measure to quickly realize centrifugation of the STAT sample is necessary. In view of the foregoing problem, the invention provides a specimen processing and conveying system in which a centrifuge module incorporated, the centrifuge module being capable of discriminating the operation status of the system at the time point when a STAT sample is inputted and the attribute of the inputted sample and starting centrifugation operation on the basis of the input interval of samples or the arrival interval at the device carrying out centrifugation, and thus capable of starting centrifugation operation quickly when a single or a group of plural samples of urgency is inputted.

    Abstract: A sample sorting apparatus configured to transfer a sample container from a sample rack supporting the sample container to a storage rack. The sample sorting apparatus comprises a storage part configured to allow a plurality of storage racks to be placed thereon, a sample container gripper configured to grip a sample container supported in a sample rack, a movement mechanism configured to move the sample container gripper, and an identification information reader provided so as to be movable together with the sample container gripper by the movement mechanism. The identification information reader is configured to read, from an identifier attached to each of the plurality of storage racks stored in the storage part, identification information for identifying the storage rack.
