  • Publication number: 20250003997
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20240402205
    Abstract: To relax restrictions, which are associated with the access of a transfer mechanism and a nozzle to the same installation location, on an operation time chart of an automatic analyzer. In a control method of an automatic analyzer according to the present disclosure: the automatic analyzer is configured so that a transport mechanism of a container and a nozzle may not be simultaneously accessible to an installation part of the container; and the transport mechanism installs a second container to the installation part before the nozzle discharges a liquid to the second container installed at the installation part after the nozzle aspirates the liquid from a first container installed at the installation part.

  • Publication number: 20240201218
    Abstract: Provided is an automatic analyzer capable of preventing precipitation of a solute in a cleaning liquid in a reservoir used for cleaning a dispensing probe. The automatic analyzer for analyzing a sample includes a dispensing probe configured to dispense the sample or a reagent, a reservoir configured to reserve a cleaning liquid used for cleaning the dispensing probe, a flow path connected to the reservoir and through which the cleaning liquid flows, and a control unit configured to control each unit. The control unit draws the cleaning liquid in the reservoir into the flow path, and then supplies system water to the reservoir.

  • Publication number: 20240066426
    Abstract: 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.
