  • Patent number: 10288635
    Abstract: Provided is a sample analyzing apparatus with which multiple analyses can be performed at the same time in a rapid and accurate manner using a small quantity of a liquid to be measured. This biochemical analyzing apparatus (50) is provided with a chip holder (53) into which an analysis chip (10) can be installed, a chip holder rotation unit (54) for rotating the chip holder (53), a pipetting unit (90) for injecting a candidate liquid into injection ports (22) in the analysis chip (10), and a measurement unit (80) capable of collectively measuring the respective reactions of the candidate liquid and multiple types of antigens (30). The chip holder (53) is rotated by the chip holder rotation unit (54), and injection of the candidate liquid is performed by the pipetting unit (90).

  • Patent number: 10286394
    Abstract: Provided are an analysis chip and a sample analysis device by which it is possible to perform analysis rapidly and accurately on a plurality of items simultaneously using a small amount of liquid for measurement. An analysis chip (10) is provided with: a substrate (20) formed in a substantially disc shape; an insertion hole (22) formed in the center of the substrate (20), a liquid to be measured being inserted into the insertion hole (22); and micro-flow paths (23) into which the liquid to be measured can be guided from the insertion hole (22) by capillary action, each of the micro-flow paths (23) having therein a plurality of types of antigens (30) that are fixed in place with gaps therebetween, the antigens (30) selectively reacting to components in the liquid to be measured.

  • Patent number: 10031146
    Abstract: To provide a sample analysis device for speedily and accurately analyzing a plurality of items for a fluid to be measured, a biochemical analysis device comprises: a measurement unit that captures images of and obtains image information about each reaction between a target fluid and a plurality of types of antigen; a storage unit that stores antigen position information for the plurality of types of antigen fixed in a microchannel; and a determination unit that determines a plurality of items for a specimen, based on the antigen position information and the image information. The storage unit stores arrangement state determination information for determining the arrangement state of analysis chips. The determination unit determines the arrangement state of the analysis chips during imaging, based on the arrangement state determination information and the image information, and analyses the specimen based on the antigen position information and the image information.
