A small, inexpensive, and easy-to-use automated immunochemical anlayzer is provided. The automated immunochemical analyzer comprises at least one reaction plate of disposable type forming a plurality of containers in one body, a table that can be drawn out for mounting the reaction plates, a table can be drawn out for mounting specimen racks, a reagent thermostatic unit, a reaction thermostatic unit, a reaction plate holding part, an apparatus for aspirating and discharging sample liquid, and an XY moving part mounting the reaction plate holding part and the apparatus for aspirating and discharging sample liquid. First, by the XY moving part, the holding part holds the reaction plate before use from the table for mounting the reaction plates and moves up to the reaction thermostats unit. Consequently, by the XY moving part, the apparatus for aspirating and discharging sample liquid is moved reciprocally among the specimen rack, reagent thermostatic unit, and reaction thermostatic unit, thereby distributing specimens and reagents to the reaction plate. THe distributed liquid is kept in a thermostatic state, and shaken and agitated, thereby promoting the antigen-antibody reaction. The reaction liquid is sample by the apparatus for aspirating and discharging sample liquid, and is measured.

In an automatic analyzer of samples, the liquid specimen and the reagent are mixed in a reaction container to react. If, however, there is a bubble in the reagent container, a accurate amount of a reagent may not be dispensed. Accordingly, a liquid surface detecting circuit for detecting the liquid surface on the basis of the impedance change between a pipet and a ground is disposed, and the height of the liquid surface before and after suction of the reagent is compared on the basis of the liquid surface detecting information, and the bubble is detected when the difference is more than a specified value, and accordingly the driving circuit of the driving source is controlled by the control circuit. Thus, when dispensing the reagent in the reagent container by a pipet, the bubble can be detected securely and accurately, and this apparatus may be used in a slender reagent container.

A sample analyzer which transports a rack holding a plurality of sample containers and analyzes samples includes: a first measurement apparatus which measures samples; a second measurement apparatus which is arranged downstream, in a transport direction, from the first measurement apparatus, and which measures samples; and a transporting apparatus which transports samples to a first supply position for supplying a sample to the first measurement apparatus, and to a second supply position for supplying a sample to the second measurement apparatus. The transporting apparatus linearly transports a rack from the first supply position to the second supply position, and the distance between the first supply position and the second supply position is a multiple of the distance between adjacent sample containers held in the rack.

摘要:
A lumber production machine and method for processing lumber uses a pressure vessel that can accommodate untreated lumber and an injection pipe disposed in the pressure vessel that is capable of injecting saturated steam into the pressure vessel. A pressure gauge is operatively coupled to pressure vessel to determine the pressure inside the pressure vessel. There is a mechanism for setting a minimum and maximum pressure inside the pressure vessel. Solenoid valves control injection of saturated steam from the injection pipe into the interior of the pressure vessel. A controller opens the solenoid valves when the minimum pressure is reached and closes the solenoid valve when the maximum pressure is reached. The method includes pressurizing and heating the lumber products with saturated steam by varying the pressure to achieve a uniform temperature inside the lumber. The pressurizing and heating step including providing saturated steam in the pressure-vessel type production machine; discharging the saturated steam of the production machine; introducing saturated steam back into the pressure-vessel type production machine for additional pressurization and heating. This introduction and discharging process can be repeated using varying pressures and the steam is provided providing in the machine in the range of 40 to 90 seconds.
摘要:
A buffer solution is sampled from a buffer solution vessel and is dispensed into a reaction vessel on a reaction table by first sampling/dispensing means, and a specimen containing an antigen or antibody to be measured is sampled from a specimen vessel and is dispensed into the reaction vessel by second sampling/dispensing means. A reagent containing insoluble carriers to which is bonded an antibody or antigen that specifically reacts with the antigen or antibody in the specimen is sampled from a reagent vessel and dispensed into the reaction vessel by third sampling/dispensing means. The entire reaction table is shaken continuously during mixing of the buffer solution, reagent and specimen, and the reaction vessel is maintained in an isothermal state. A stable antigen-antibody reaction in the resulting reaction solution is thus promoted to form an agglutinate of the insoluble carriers. The reaction solution is sampled from the reaction vessel and dispensed into a sample chamber by fourth sampling/dispensing means. The dispensed reaction solution is transferred to a detector through which the insoluble carriers are passed and in which a signal is generated based upon a difference in terms of electrical or optical characteristics. The degree of agglutination of the insoluble carriers is obtained as a numerical value, thus making it possible to quantify the antigen or antibody of interest contained in the specimen.
