  • Patent number: 11360069
    Abstract: An inspection apparatus includes a container, a connection interface, and a controller. The container stores a specimen. The connection interface is provided inside the container and allows detachable connection of detection units that detect different substances. The controller judges a quality of the specimen stored in the container on the basis of a substance emitted by the specimen and detected by a detection unit connected to the connection interface.

  • Patent number: 11162930
    Abstract: An inspection apparatus includes a container, first and second detectors, and a controller. The container stores a specimen. The first detector detects a substance emitted by the specimen stored in the container. The second detector detects a different component than the substance in the atmosphere inside the container. The controller corrects the result of detection of the substance by the first detector on the basis of the component detected by the second detector and judges a quality of the specimen.
