SAMPLE INTRODUCTION SYSTEM

摘要

Provided is a sample introduction system for sequentially introducing a plurality of samples into an analyzer 200, the system including: an auto-sampler 300 including a sampling needle 302 for suctioning a sample from each well 312 provided in a plate 311 placed on a sample rack 310 or from a sample container 313 placed in the well 312, a needle drive mechanism 303 for driving the sampling needle 302 in horizontal and vertical directions; an operation section 10 for allowing a user to command the needle drive mechanism 303 to drive the sampling needle 302; and a display controller 28 for displaying, on a screen of a display section 30, an identification of the well 312 related to a reference point defined on the plate 311 in a correction process conducted by the user by manipulating the operation section 10 no as to operate the needle drive mechanism 303 so that the sampling needle 302 is transferred to a predetermined position serving as the reference point.

1. A sample introduction system for sequentially introducing a plurality of samples into an analyzer which analyzes a sample contained in each of wells provided on a plate placed on a sample rack or a sample contained in a sample container placed in each of the wells, the system comprising:
a) an auto-sampler including a sampling needle for suctioning the sample from each of the wells or the sample container and a needle drive mechanism for driving the sampling needle in horizontal and vertical directions; b) an operation section for allowing a user to command the needle drive mechanism to drive the sampling needle; and c) a display controller for displaying, on a screen of a display section, an identification of the well related to a reference point defined on the plate in a correction process conducted by the user by manipulating the operation section so as to operate the needle drive mechanism so that the sampling needle is transferred to a predetermined position serving as the reference point.
