AUTOMATIC ANALYZERS AND REAGENT WHEELS THEREOF

摘要

This disclosure provides automatic analyzers and reagent wheels thereof. The reagent wheel can have one or more rings of reagent bottle seats that may be used for placing a reagent container and distributed along a circumferential direction. An included angle may be formed between a symmetrical centerline of the reagent container placed on the reagent bottle seat and a radius of a circle where the reagent wheel is located, where the included angle is not equal to zero. Compared with the situation in which the symmetrical centerline of the reagent container overlaps with the radius of the circle where the reagent wheel is located, an improved balance can be achieved between the capacity and the diametric size of the reagent wheel, thus making an improvement in meeting application requirements of the analyzers.

主权项

1. A reagent wheel of an automatic analyzer, comprising one or more rings of reagent bottle seats that are capable of placing a reagent container and are distributed on the reagent wheel along a circumferential direction; wherein the reagent container placed on the reagent bottle seats has a distal end face away from a circle center of the reagent wheel and a proximal end face proximate to the circle center of the reagent wheel; a line segment representing a vertical distance between the distal end face and the proximal end face is defined as a distance line; wherein an included angle ranging from substantially 0 degree to substantially 180 degree is formed between the distance line of the reagent container placed on at least one ring of reagent bottle seats and a radius of the circle where the reagent wheel is located.
