Abstract: A pharmaceutical injection device may comprise a main body case having a cartridge holder, a piston that pushes out the pharmaceutical of a pharmaceutical cartridge held in the cartridge holder, a light emitting component, a light receiving component, and a controller. The light emitting component may shine light of different colors on the pharmaceutical cartridge disposed in the cartridge holder. The light receiving component receives light that has been shined from the light emitting component onto the pharmaceutical cartridge and reflected by the pharmaceutical cartridge. The controller may shine from the light emitting component and identify the type of pharmaceutical cartridge.

Abstract: The pharmaceutical injection device of the present invention comprises a cartridge holder, a main case, a piston, a motor, an opening component, an open/closed detection switch, and a controller. The motor drives the piston in either an insertion direction in which the piston is inserted into a pharmaceutical cartridge, or a pull-out direction in which the piston is pulled out of the pharmaceutical cartridge. The opening component opens the cartridge holder in conjunction with the movement of the piston in the pull-out direction. The open/closed detection switch detects whether the cartridge holder is open or closed. When the open/closed detection switch detects that the cartridge holder is open, the controller controls the motor so as to stop the piston.

Abstract: A pharmaceutical injection device may comprise a main body case in the interior of which a pharmaceutical syringe can be mounted; a drive means that is provided inside the main body case and pushes out the pharmaceutical inside the pharmaceutical syringe through a syringe needle; a cover that opens and closes an opening on the side of the main body case where the syringe needle is mounted; an outside air temperature sensor that measures a first temperature, which is the temperature outside the main body case; a display component; and a controller that controls the drive means and the display component and acquires the first temperature at predetermined intervals. When the cover is closed, the controller causes the display component to display information about the storage state of the pharmaceutical in the mounted pharmaceutical syringe on the basis of the first temperature.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for analyzing a sample solution, including introducing a sample solution 50 through a sample introduction part 6 and developing the sample solution 50 to a developing layer 2 through a capillary phenomenon to analyze an analyte contained in the sample solution 50, the sample introduction part 6 being provided on one side of a test strip 100 and the developing layer 2 being provided on the other side of the test strip 100, wherein the test strip 100 is disposed in such a development posture that the downstream region of the developing layer faces downward during the development. By this method, the developing rate is less susceptible to the viscosity of the sample solution 50 and thus has a small difference even among sample solutions 50 differing in viscosity. As a result, the analytical accuracy and reliability can be improved.

Abstract: By measuring a luminance difference between predetermined two points or a luminance variation in a predetermined region in a state in which a liquid sample is developed in a chromatography specimen 1, and comparing the luminance difference or the luminance variation with a preset reference value, it is possible to automatically detect degradation such as a decrease in hydrophilicity in the lower portion of a liquid-impermeable sheet material 8 during a chromatography inspection, thereby enabling an accurate inspection.

Abstract: Provided is a liquid sample analyzing method for analyzing an analyte in a liquid sample by using a test piece (1) on which overflow blocking lines (7) are formed to prevent the liquid sample from flowing to the outside from a passage region (3a) of an extended layer (3). In a state in which the liquid sample is not extended in the passage region (3a) of the extended region (3), the test piece (1) is measured so as to cross the passage region (3a) of the extended layer (3) and the overflow blocking lines (7). Thus in a state in which a difference in brightness is large between the passage region (3a) of the extended region (3) and the overflow blocking lines (7), it is possible to properly recognize the boundary portions between the passage region (3a) of the extended region (3) and the overflow blocking lines (7).

Abstract: A liquid sample analysis device includes a holder part 11 holding a test piece 1, an optical system 20 that optically detects a reaction state of a liquid sample and a reagent, and a support member 30 that integrally supports the holder part 11 and the optical system 20. The orientation of the test piece 1 is changed with respect to the direction of gravitational force by rotating the support member 30.

Abstract: Provided is a device in which light from a sample 7 fixed in a test piece 1 is captured by an image sensor 5 through an optical system made up of a lens 3, a diaphragm 4, and so on and concentration information is obtained, wherein a wide-band light source 12 for illuminating the test piece 1 is combined with an optical filter 13 for optionally selecting a wavelength of the light captured by the image sensor. Thus it is possible to reduce a measurement error caused by a change of the light quantity distribution of the light source 12.

Abstract: In a biosensor for measuring the concentration of an object to be analyzed by optical signal detection, when a liquid sample is supplied to a supply part (12), the liquid sample is developed in a development part (13), and color development takes place in a reaction part (14) depending upon the concentration of the object to be analyzed. The absorbance of the reaction part (14) is read. In this case, the amount of the liquid sample supplied into the supply part (12) can be measured by reading the development speed.
