AUTOMATIC ANALYZER

摘要

A high-throughput automatic analyzer integrates a biochemical analysis section and a blood coagulation analysis section. The analyzer is capable of achieving a reduction in size, system cost, and lifecycle cost. The automatic analyzer includes: a reaction disk; a first reagent dispensing mechanism that dispenses a reagent to reaction cells on the reaction disk; a photometer that irradiates a reaction solution in the reaction cell with light; a reaction cell cleaning mechanism; a reaction vessel supply unit that supplies a disposable reaction vessel for mixing and reacting a sample and a reagent with each other; a second reagent dispensing mechanism that dispenses a reagent to the disposable reaction vessel; a blood coagulation time measuring section that irradiates a reaction solution in the disposable reaction vessel with light to detect transmitted or scattered light; and a sample dispensing mechanism that dispenses a sample to the reaction cell and the disposable reaction vessel.

1. An automatic analyzer comprising:
a reaction disk having a reaction cell arranged circumferentially thereon, the reaction cell mixing and reacting a sample and a reagent with each other, the reaction disk repeating rotation and stop; a first reagent dispensing mechanism that dispenses the reagent to the reaction cell; a photometer that irradiates a reaction solution in the reaction cell with light to thereby detect transmitted light or scattered light; a reaction cell cleaning mechanism that cleans the reaction cell; a reaction vessel supply unit that supplies a disposable reaction vessel for mixing and reacting a sample and a reagent with each other; a second reagent dispensing mechanism with a reagent heating function that dispenses a reagent to the disposable reaction vessel; a blood coagulation time measuring section that irradiates a reaction solution in the disposable reaction vessel with light to thereby detect transmitted light or scattered light; and a sample dispensing mechanism that dispenses a sample to the reaction cell and the disposable reaction vessel.
