Disclosed is a specimen processing apparatus for genetic testing. The apparatus includes: a mode setting section configured to receive a setting of an operation mode from: an emulsion preparation mode for preparing a water-in-oil type (W/O type) emulsion having dispersed therein a plurality of droplets, each droplet containing a specimen which contains DNA and a bead to which a reagent component necessary for amplifying a target DNA molecule is bound; and an emulsion breaking mode for breaking the emulsion and collecting beads from the droplets; and a controller programmed to control the transfer unit and the dispensing unit in accordance with the operation mode set by the mode setting section.

An apparatus for performing immunometric tests is described. The apparatus includes a housing element which receives and allows tests on a single use-type for a single sample test device, a reaction well containing a solid phase, a plurality of wells for reagents, a well for a sample to be analyzed, a control unit for managing the apparatus, and an image detector for acquiring images of the reaction well in communication with the control unit. The control unit processes the acquired images and performs a macroarray test relative to the sample in the test device. During processing, the control unit identifies at the reaction well of the test device, points of a matrix that includes points of analysis related to a specific biomarker that represent measurement parameters of the macroarray test, and performs the macroarray test on the basis of the points. A corresponding method and use procedure are also disclosed.
