Patent number: 11668708Abstract: A method for avoiding the influence of a blood sample on a measurement error in a latex agglutination immunoassay. The measurement error caused by a blood sample in a latex agglutination immunoassay can be reduced by a method which includes a step of bringing the sample into contact, in a liquid phase, with latex particles carrying a substance having a specific affinity for an analyte in the presence of imidazole.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2017Date of Patent: June 6, 2023Assignee: SEKISUI MEDICAL CO., LTD.Inventors: Kengo Fujimura, Junichi Kondou, Mitsuaki Yamamoto

Publication number: 20220113328Abstract: A reagent container lid opening and closing mechanism capable of opening and closing a reagent container lid, and an automated analysis device. A reagent container lid opening and closing mechanism includes an opening and closing operation body being movable, and including an opening and closing engagement portion to engage engagement portions provided in upper surfaces of container lids of reagent containers. The opening and closing operation body is movable along a longitudinal axis direction of the opening and closing operation body between a retreated position where the opening and closing operation body is separated from the reagent containers, and an engaged position where an opening and closing engagement portion of the opening and closing operation body engages the engagement portions of the container lids. The opening and closing operation body is movable along a predetermined circular arc trajectory between the engaged position and a lid opening position.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 23, 2021Publication date: April 14, 2022Inventors: Satoshi YAMAMURA, Hirokazu YAGO, Junichi KONDOU, Hiroshi TAKAHASHI
