Specimen analysis system, specimen analyzer, and specimen analysis method
A specimen analysis system, a specimen analyzer, and a specimen analysis method are provided by which reexamination of a specimen can be executed more quickly than in conventional technology. A specimen analyzer measures a specimen and obtains an analysis result. The specimen analyzer determines the necessity of remeasurement of the specimen, based on a specimen analysis result. Also, the specimen analyzer determines, based on the specimen analysis result, whether or not determination of the necessity of remeasurement of the specimen based on examination information by the examination information management device is necessary. If it is determined that determination of the necessity of remeasurement of the specimen based on the examination information is necessary, the specimen analyzer makes a request to determine the necessity of remeasurement of the specimen based on the examination information, to the examination information management device.
APPARATUS FOR MOVING AND TESTING BIOLOGICAL SAMPLES
An apparatus for moving and testing biological samples is described, comprising a laboratory automation system for moving transporting devices of single test tubes containing biological material samples, a testing module of said biological material samples contained in said test tubes adapted to receive linear containers of a plurality of test tubes arranged in a series of consecutive housings along a line, and an interconnection module between said laboratory automation system and said testing module,
Sample Receiving System and Methods
Disclosed are high-throughput vessel receiving systems and methods of receiving sample vessels, such as samples stored in test tubes. A system for receiving a plurality of individual vessels that each contains a sample, and systems and apparatus for guiding, reorienting, collecting, and transporting a plurality of articles, including vessels, are disclosed.
Vehicle for transporting a biological sample, comprising a guide device
The invention relates to a vehicle for transporting a biological sample, the vehicle being movable on a circuit, the circuit comprising: an input path, a first output path and a second output path, a turn-off enabling the vehicle travelling on the input path to be redirected to the first output path or the second output path, a first guide path extending along the input path, the turn-off and the first output path, a guide device which can be configured in: a first configuration in which the guide device cooperates with the first guide path so as to direct the vehicle to the first output path when the vehicle passes through the turn-off, a second configuration in which the guide device does not cooperate with the first guide path, enabling the vehicle to reach the second output path.
