AUTOMATIC ANALYZING APPARATUS AND ANALYSIS METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To facilitate combination for each of a plurality of different functional modules and increase total processing capacity by suppressing an influence on existing functional modules.SOLUTION: An analyzing apparatus where no congestion occurs and which has high analysis efficiency as a whole is provided even when the automatic analyzing apparatus is configured by connecting a plurality of functional modules having different functions and processing performances. In addition, an automatic analysis system is provided in which even when a new functional module is added, consideration of an influence on the existing functional modules or reconstruction of a carrying plan or the like for improving the processing performance as a whole is not required. A buffer unit paired with a functional module is connected to a specimen carrying line and a carrying instruction to the functional module corresponding to a request from each specimen is made by an operating-section computer to perform carrying-in/out operation while managing a state capable of conveying between the respective buffer units and functional modules.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
