SAMPLE PROCESSING SYSTEM, METHOD FOR SAVING ELECTRICITY CONSUMED BY SAMPLE PROCESSING SYSTEM, AND NON-TRANSITORY STORAGE MEDIUM

摘要

A sample processing system is disclosed which comprises at least one processor and at least one memory that stores programs executable collectively by the at least one processor. According to the stored programs, the at least one processor transports sample containers through a conveying path along which there are arranged at least one first module for testing of samples and at least one second module for processing of samples which have been tested by the at least one first module. The at least one second module is switchable between an active state and an inactive state. The at least one processor further obtains a determination result as to whether a sample which has been tested by the at least one first module is necessary to be processed by the at least one second module. If the sample is determined necessary to be processed by the at least one second module, the at least one processor transports a sample container containing the sample to the at least one second module for processing. If the at least one second module is in the inactive state, at least one processor places the at least one second module in the active state to make it ready to process the sample.
