<p>When specimen racks in a loop are used many times in a system in order to prevent an increase in size and complication of a device, the processing speed often decreases due to intersection of conveying lines. In order to prevent such intersection, a complicated mechanism such as an elevating mechanism or a robot hand mechanism is required. To avoid this, empty rack conveying lines are independently disposed at lower positions of a main conveying line, an emergency passing line, and a return line, and are connected to inclined conveying lines in a rack stocker between a storing module and a charging module. With this, the conveying lines can be prevented from intersecting with each other, and empty racks can be continuously supplied and collected. As a result, the conveying lines can be prevented from intersecting with each other using a simple structure without an increase in size or complication of the device, and the empty racks can be continuously supplied and collected without a reduction in processing capacity. In addition, an automated specimen testing system that is highly expandable in accordance with the scale of facilities can be provided.</p> |
