Publication number: 20250003997Abstract: Provided is an automatic analyzer capable of reducing bumping of a liquid sample. The automatic analyzer includes a reaction container, a heating member, an exhaust unit, and a reaction container moving member. The automatic analyzer executes a first evaporative concentration step in which the exhaust unit aspirates vapor in the reaction container and the heating member heats the reaction container with a first heat quantity in a state where the reaction container is at a separation position, and a second evaporative concentration step in which the exhaust unit aspirates vapor in the reaction container and the heating member heats the reaction container with a second heat quantity larger than the first heat quantity in a state where the reaction container is at a contact position.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 28, 2022Publication date: January 2, 2025Inventors: Shingo OHTA, Taichiro YAMASHITA, Takumi ITO, Shinya MATSUOKA, Mayuko ITO, Susumu SAKAIRI

Publication number: 20240066426Abstract: An evaporation concentration mechanism is realized that can control a depressurization rate by an inexpensive and simple mechanism to inhibit bumping at the time of evaporation and concentration. The evaporation concentration mechanism includes a reaction vessel that holds a sample solution, a depressurization channel connected to the reaction vessel, and a depressurization source that is connected to the reaction vessel via the depressurization channel and depressurizes the inside of the reaction vessel. The evaporation concentration mechanism further includes at least one of solenoid valves provided in the depressurization channel, and a control unit 8 that controls an operation of the solenoid valves. The control unit 8 intermittently opens and closes the solenoid valves during a depressurization period in which the inside of the reaction vessel is depressurized by the depressurization source.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 6, 2022Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Mayuko ITO, Shinya MATSUOKA
