Abstract: Disclosed is a specimen analyzer comprising: a rack transport part configured to transport a rack accommodating a plurality of specimen containers; an agitating part configured to agitate a specimen in each of the specimen containers; a suction part configured to suction the specimen from the specimen container; a container transport part configured to transport the specimen container between the rack on the rack transport part, the agitating part, and a suction position for specimen suctioning by the suction part; a measurement part configured to measure a measurement sample prepared from the specimen suctioned by the suction part; and a controller configured to control at least the agitating part, the suction part, and the container transport part, wherein the specimen analyzer is configured such that control by the controller causes, during a period from start to end of agitation of one of the specimen containers, at least one of transferring to the suction position, suctioning of a specimen, and returning

Abstract: A specimen measurement apparatus may include: an aspirator via which a specimen is aspirated. A flow path may be connected to the aspirator. A first pump may be connected to the flow path. A second pump may be connected to the flow path. A controller may select and cause either the first pump or the second pump to aspirate the specimen via the aspirator.

Abstract: A sample analyzer for aspirating and analyzing a sample in a sample tube is disclosed. The sample analyzer comprises: a fluid processing section for aspirating liquid contained in a tube with a pipette and flowing the liquid through a fluid circuit; an obtaining section for obtaining identification information for identifying type of tube to be aspirated from; and a control unit. When identifying that the tube to be aspirated from is a cleaning liquid tube, the control unit controls the fluid processing section to aspirate substantially all the cleaning liquid in the cleaning liquid tube with the pipette and use all or partial amount of the aspirated cleaning liquid to clean the fluid circuit.
