    摘要: Consumables for use with multi-channel liquid dispensing devices and multi-channel testing devices and workflows for use thereof are described. Consumables of the disclosure can comprise a plurality of containers, preloaded with a reagent such as, known dilutions of a reagent, such as a standard, a protein, a chemical, or other desirable material. A multi-channel liquid dispensing device can be used to simultaneously withdraw amounts of the reagent from all containers of the consumable and to further simultaneously deposit the reagent into rows of a multi-well device (such as a micro-well plate) for further downstream reactions and/or testing. Downstream testing can be in a testing machine, such as a spectrophotometer, a fluorometer, or others. Consumables of the disclosure provide advantages such as saving time over individually preparing the dilution of a reagent, and individually measuring and dispensing the reagent/dilution of reagent into each individual well of a multi-well device for downstream reactions/testing. Consumables of the disclosure can comprise multiple rows, each row comprising a consumable with multiple containers or tubes.

    摘要: Provided is an automated analysis device with which sufficient reaction process data can be acquired irrespective of the scale of the device, and with which it is possible to ensure freedom of the device configuration. An automated analysis device 100 is provided with: a reaction disk 1 which circumferentially accommodates a plurality of reaction vessels 2; a specimen dispensing mechanism 11 which dispenses a specimen into the reaction vessels 2; a reagent dispensing mechanism 7 which dispenses a reagent into the reaction vessels 2; a measuring unit 4 which measures a reaction process of a mixture of the specimen and the reagent in the reaction vessels 2; and a cleaning mechanism 3 which cleans the reaction vessels 2 after measurement. Further, the automated analysis device 100 includes a controller 21 which controls the drive of the reaction disk 1 such that in one cycle the reaction vessels 2 move by an amount Ain the circumferential direction in such a way that N and A are mutually prime, B and C are mutually prime, and the relationship A×B=N×C±1 holds, where N is the total number of reaction vessels 2 accommodated in the reaction disk 1, the reaction disk 1 moves through C (where C>1) rotations+an amount equivalent to one reaction vessel after B (where B>2) cycles, and the number of reaction vessels 2 moved in one cycle is A (where N>A>N/B+1).
