Biochemical analysis system

摘要

A biochemical analysis system includes a depositing mechanism which deposits a sample liquid on a chemical analysis slide having a reagent layer, an incubator which incubates the chemical analysis slide with the sample liquid at a predetermined temperature for a predetermined time, a transfer mechanism which loads the slide in the incubator and removes it therefrom, and an optical density measuring system which measures the optical density of the chemical analysis slide after incubation and determines the concentration of a specific biochemical component in the sample liquid through the optical density of the chemical analysis slide. The incubator has a rotary body in which a slide discarding hole is formed at the center thereof and a plurality of slide holding portions are formed to extend from the outer peripheral surface of the rotary body toward the center of the rotary body and communicate with the slide discarding hole. The transfer mechanism inserts the chemical analysis slides into the respective slide holding portions by moving each slide toward the center of the rotary body and drops the slides into the discarding hole after measurement by moving the slides further toward the center of the rotary body.
