    摘要: An automated system and method for storing/retrieving vessel holders is presented. A first storage compartment comprises first storage sections. A first translating mechanism vertically translates one storage section to a loading level for loading holders into the first storage compartment and translates one storage section to a handing-in level for handing in holders to/from an analyzer. A second storage compartment comprises second storage sections. A second translating mechanism vertically translates one second storage sections to a handing-out level and translates one storage section to an unloading level for unloading holders from the second storage compartment. A first transport mechanism comprises a first conveyor for transporting holders from a first storage section at the handing-in level to a handing-over station. A second transport mechanism comprises a second conveyor for transporting holders from the handing-over station to a second storage section at the handing-out level. A controller operates the mechanisms.

    摘要: An automatic analyzing apparatus capable of obtaining an analysis result of a specimen high in urgency in a shorter time is provided. When a first rack 50 is present in a sampling line 103 and an analysis request for a second rack higher in the degree of urgency for analysis than the first rack 50 is detected, a control unit unloads the first rack 50 onto a transport line 100 through a return line 102, allows the first rack 50 to stand by at a rack standby position 120 on a transport line 101 between a loading line 101 and the return line 102 under control, and loads the second rack from the transport line 101 onto the sampling line 103 through the loading line 101 and transports the second rack to the dispensing position 111 under control while allowing the first rack 50 to stand by.
