Input of a STAT sample is irregular and a STAT sample is inputted, interrupting the course of input of samples online. Meanwhile, a device having a centrifuge unit processes arriving samples by batch processing in order to carry out one session of centrifugal operation and therefore is often configured not to start centrifugal operation while samples can be retained on an adapter. When a STAT sample which needs to be centrifuged is inputted in the system, a measure to quickly realize centrifugation of the STAT sample is necessary. In view of the foregoing problem, the invention provides a specimen processing and conveying system in which a centrifuge module incorporated, the centrifuge module being capable of discriminating the operation status of the system at the time point when a STAT sample is inputted and the attribute of the inputted sample and starting centrifugation operation on the basis of the input interval of samples or the arrival interval at the device carrying out centrifugation, and thus capable of starting centrifugation operation quickly when a single or a group of plural samples of urgency is inputted. |
