ALIQUOTING METHOD FOR AUTOMATIC SAMPLE EXAMINATION

摘要

An object of the present invention is to improve the precision and reproducibility of determination and prevent failure of dispensing means due to inclusion of bubbles in automatic sample analysis systems performing multiple random determinations. A diluent is discharged by a dispensing means into a dilution bath 11 containing a sample, and a given amount of a diluted sample 12 is sucked from the upper face by the dispensing means and discarded by discharging it into a waste fluid cup to remove many small bubbles 13 generated during the preparation of the diluted sample used for determination. The diluted sample 12 remaining in the dilution bath 11 is used for determination to improve the precision and reproducibility of determination and to prevent failure of the dispensing means due to inclusion of bubbles.
