Abstract: A light irradiation device includes: a lamp that has a lamp back surface on which a lamp back surface electrode is provided, and a lamp major surface which faces the lamp back surface and on which a lamp major surface electrode is provided, and that emits light from the lamp back surface; a housing forming an internal space in which the lamp is disposed, together with a vacuum window that transmits the light emitted by the lamp; and a heat sink that discharges heat from the lamp. The heat sink is thermally connected to the lamp major surface. The housing includes a suction pipe joint serving as an inlet for compressed air to be supplied to the internal space, and a discharge pipe joint serving as an outlet for the compressed air that has received the heat from the heat sink.

Abstract: A connection device for connecting to a plurality of fluid containers that have openings, and a sample analyzer body for analyzing samples using reagent, is disclosed, which comprises: a plurality of tubular members for passing liquid, the plurality of tubular members being inserted in the fluid containers through the openings of the plurality of fluid containers; a holding member to hold the plurality of tubular members; and a plurality of cover members to be fitted to the opening of the fluid container, wherein the plurality of cover members are arranged in a predetermined positional relationship on the holding member side of the plurality of tubular members; configured with a continuously decreasing cross sectional area toward the fluid container side; and the shape of the cross section of the cover member is substantially the same as the shape of the corresponding opening of the fluid container.

Abstract: A reagent container set is disclosed which comprises: a first reagent container for accommodating a first reagent to be used in a sample analyzer, the top part of the first reagent container having a first aspiration opening for inserting a first reagent aspirating tube to aspirate the first reagent; a waste fluid container for accommodating the first reagent used in the sample analyzer as a waste fluid, the top of the waste fluid container having a discharge opening for inserting a waste fluid discharging tube to discharge the waste fluid into the waste fluid container; a box for accommodating the first reagent container and the waste fluid container; and a container holding member for holding the first reagent container and the waste fluid container so that the first aspiration opening and the discharge opening are disposed at predetermined positions, the container holding member being maintained at a predetermined position within the box.
