DISTRIBUTING AND WEIGHING APPARATUS FOR LIQUID SPECIMEN

摘要

PURPOSE:To distribute efficiently various kinds of liquid specimens into various kinds of containers and to automate work for weighing the distributed specimen accurately. CONSTITUTION:A transfer part 50 takes out a specimen container grasped by a grasping part 90 from a container storage part 5 and transfers the container to a weighing part 27 by moving it in X, Y, or Z direction. The weighing part measures the weight of the vacant specimen container, and the container is sent to a specimen supply part 20 by the transfer part. The specimen supply part feeds a specified fluid specimen to the container. The transfer part transfers the container with the specimen again to the weighing part, where the weight of the container with the specimen is measured. The weight of the liquid specimen in the container is calculated from these values of weight. The container with the fluid specimen is returned by the transfer part to a specified position of the container storage part.
