Disclosed is a fraction collector for dispensing liquids into plural receptacles (P1,P2) arranged in a two dimensional array. The fraction collector comprises a table (22) for supporting said receptacles, and an arm supported above the table, in turn supporting a liquid dispenser (35), the fraction collector arm is rotatable about an arm axis (C) and the liquid dispenser is movable along the arm on a carriage 34 (FIG. 2). Thereby, the dispenser is low cost and is repositionable simply above the receptacles as a result of said rotation and as a result of said movement along the arm, without occupying too much laboratory bench space.

This automated analysis device is provided with a plurality of analysis units for analyzing a specimen, a buffer portion which holds a plurality of specimen racks on which are placed specimen containers holding the specimen, a sampler portion which conveys the specimen racks held in the buffer portion to the analysis units, and a control portion which, when performing a process to deliver the specimen racks to the plurality of analysis units, outputs synchronization signals to all the plurality of analysis units, wherein the analysis unit performs a delivery process starting from the synchronization signal, and the analysis unit performs a delivery process starting from the synchronization signal.

An automatic sample injection device includes: an; and a management device. The injector includes: a turret; and a vial sensor. The management device includes: a condition setting unit configured to set a condition relating to a type of a vial to be used in the sample injection operation, based on information input by a user; and a vial determination unit configured to determine, before the injector initiates the sample injection operation, whether or not there is a missing vial on the turret out of the vials of the plurality of types set to be used in the sample injection operation under a condition set by the condition setting unit, by using a detection result of the vial sensor.

A feeding system (2) for feeding disc-shaped objects such as sample cups (4) to an analyzer. The system (2) includes as infeed trade (22) angled downward from horizontal and the outfeed track (24) angled downward, plus a reject chute. The disc feeding system (2) uses two RFID readers/writers, one (32) a standalone desktop and a second (190) proximate the sample bay of the analyzer for more comprehensive track-and-trace capability. The information read from the cup (4) tag as it is scanned is also stored with the resultant spectra so that predictive processing is applied properly and without error. For post scan (after the sample scan is completed) the scan information itself may be written directly to the sample cup RFID tag including, reflection/transmission, characteristics, constituent results etc.

The present invention relates to a diagnostic cartridge for microfluidics and an on-site molecular diagnosis system including same, wherein an infuser, an extraction chamber, and an amplification chamber are arrayed vertically to minimize the flow path of a fluid, and thus the extraction, amplification and analysis results of a nucleic acid can be detected in real time.

Provided are an automatic sampling device and method and, more specifically, are an automatic sampling device and method which automatically remove a lid when collecting a sample in order to analyze the state of a chemical solution (medicinal fluid) and which automatically reverse a sample collection container so that the container can be used after being washed with ultrapure water, and thus the device prevents medicinal fluid contamination caused by the sample collection container, lid, adjacent objects in contact therewith, or space during sampling, without being affected by outside conditions during the sampling, prevents safety accidents such as errors or risk caused by manual work, and is improved so as to increase the reliability of sampling.

The present invention relates to an automated system for the determination of polymer properties and the use of this system for monitoring the processing of the respective polymer.

Provided is an automatic analyzer in which a linear movement unit and a rotational movement unit that access to a same location can be arranged in a same plane. The automatic analyzer includes a linear movement unit configured to access to an access point by a linear movement, a rotational movement unit configured to access to the access point by a rotational movement, and a control unit configured to control an operation of the linear movement unit and the rotational movement unit so that the linear movement unit and the rotational movement unit do not interfere with each other.

An automatic analyzer includes a cleaning pool, a discharge port, a waste fluid pipe, a valve, and a guiding unit. The cleaning pool is used to clean a predetermined member with a fluid. The discharge port discharges the fluid. The waste fluid pipe connects the cleaning pool and the discharge port. The valve is disposed to the waste fluid pipe. The guiding unit guides a cleaning fluid to the cleaning pool via the waste fluid pipe.
