Abstract: A sample apparatus includes a sampling valve having a sample inlet through which a sample such as urine is introduced from the outside of the sampling valve to the inside thereof; a sample outlet through which the sample is sent from the inside of the sampling valve to the outside thereof; and a sampling passage for setting apart a predetermined amount of the sample between the sample inlet and sample outlet. It further includes a first electrode section located close to the sample inlet so that the sample can come into contact with the first electrode section, a second electrode section located close to the sample outlet so that the sample can come into contact with the second electrode section, and a sensor circuit for measuring the impedance between the first and second electrode sections and for using the measured impedance to determine whether or not the sampling passage contains a predetermined amount of the sample.

Abstract: An analyzer for analyzing urine material components is provided, which comprises: a sheath flow cell for forming a sample stream by surrounding a sample liquid containing preliminarily stained particles of the urine material components with a sheath fluid; a light source for illuminating the sample stream; a photodetecter section for detecting optical information from the illuminated material component particles; and an analyzing section for analyzing the material components on the basis of the detected optical information; the analyzing section including a parameter extracting section for extracting a fluorescent light emission duration Flw and a scatter light emission duration Fscw as parameters from the detected optical information, a distribution diagram generating section for generating an Fscw-Flw scattergram, and a judging section for judging whether or not a material component particle being analyzed is a cast, on the basis of location of a data point of the material component particle in the generate

Abstract: An optical particle analyzing apparatus includes a flow cytometer in which laser light and lamp light having a wavelength shorter than that of the laser light are used simultaneously when particles in a blood specimen or the like are analyzed by the flow cytometer. Scattered light emitted by a particle due to irradiation with the laser light and fluorescence emitted by the particle due to irradiation with the lamp light are detected. A signal indicative of the scattered light is used as a timing signal to detect the fluorescence. This arrangement makes it possible to reduce the size and cost of the apparatus.
