    Abstract: In a sample-analyzing system including an analyzer (10) for analyzing a sample, an auto-sampler (20) for sequentially introducing a plurality of samples into the analyzer (10), and a controller (40) for controlling operations of the analyzer (10) and the auto-sampler (20), the auto-sampler (20) is provided with a sample rack holder (24) for holding a sample rack (21) having a plurality of wells (22) in which sample containers (23) are to be set and a sample rack imager (27) for taking, directly from above or obliquely from above, an image of the sample rack (21) held in the sample rack holder (24), whereby an incorrect input of the position information of the sample container (e.g. the well number or rack number) into an analysis schedule table is prevented.

    Abstract: A first attachment portion to which a packed column is attachable and a second attachment portion to which a chip column is attachable are housed in a column oven. Designation of a temperature of the column oven is received by a designated temperature receiver. In a case in which the chip column is not attached to the second attachment portion, an upper limit temperature of the column oven is set to a first temperature by a setter. An upper limit temperature of the column oven is set to a second temperature lower than the first temperature in a case in which the chip column is attached to the second attachment portion. A temperature of the column oven is adjusted to a received temperature by a temperature adjuster in a case in which the received temperature is equal to or lower than an upper limit temperature.

    Abstract: A column accommodation device (1) includes a housing in which a column accommodation space (4) is provided, and a chip column (6) having a plate-shape and having an internal flow path (40) filled with a separation medium (41) is accommodated in the column accommodation space (4). An outer surface of the chip column (6) is provided with openings (42) respectively communicating with both ends of the internal flow path. Inside of the column accommodation space (4) is provided with a guide (18) for guiding the chip column (6) to a predetermined position. The column accommodation device (1) includes a seal device (32) for connecting and releasing pipes (44) to and from the openings (42) of the chip column (6), and a controller (46) configured to perform operation control of the seal device (32), and the controller (46) is configured to fluidly connect the pipes (44) with respect to the openings (42) of the chip column (6) when it is determined that the chip column (6) is arranged at the predetermined position.

    Abstract: The sample plate has a principal plane in which a plurality of wells is arranged. The sample plate has a plurality of through-holes each allowing a sampling needle to pass through in a region of the principal plane where the wells are not provided, and positions of the wells and positions of the through-holes are designed such that when two pieces of the sample plates are arranged up and down with a predetermined positional relationship in a state in which respective principal planes are arranged in parallel each other, the through-holes of the sample plate arranged on an upper side is arranged at positions directly above respective wells of the sample plate arranged on a lower side.

    Abstract: Provided is a spectroscopic detector including: a light source for generating polychromatic light 11; a single diffraction grating 13; an excitation optical system for guiding the light from the light source 11 onto the diffraction grating 13, for selecting one wavelength from the light diffracted by the diffraction grating 13, and for casting the selected wavelength of light into a sample as excitation light; a detection optical system for guiding observation light emitted from the sample irradiated with the excitation light onto the diffraction grating 13 to disperse the observation light; and a photodetector 15 for detecting the observation light dispersed by the detection optical system. By using one diffraction grating 13 in both the excitation optical system and the detection optical system, the number of diffraction gratings is reduced, whereby both the cost reduction and the downsizing of the device are achieved.

    Abstract: A first liquid sending controller of an analysis control device controls a first liquid sender such that a mobile phase is supplied to a fluorescence detector through an analysis column and a junction during an analysis of a sample. A sample introduction controller controls a sample introducer such that the sample is introduced into a mobile phase by the sample introducer at a position farther upstream than the analysis column during the analysis of the sample. The second liquid sending controller causes a second liquid sender to start supplying a fluorescent reaction liquid such that the fluorescent reaction liquid arrives at the junction later than a point in time at which supply of the mobile phase starts and before the sample introduced into the mobile phase arrives at the junction during the analysis of the sample. A generator generates a chromatogram based on an output signal of the fluorescence detector during the analysis of the sample.
