AUTOMATIC ANALYZER AND CONTROL PROGRAM FOR AUTOMATIC ANALYZER
The invention has an object to provide an automatic analyzer and a control program that can shorten total analysis time. The automatic analyzer comprises: a sample rack that houses a sample; a sample dispensing mechanism that aspirates the sample from the sample rack and dispenses the sample into a reaction container; a plurality of detection units that detect a reaction liquid in the reaction container; and a control unit that controls the sample dispensing mechanism and the detection units. The control unit checks the measurement item specified for the sample and checks one of the detection units that is specified by the measurement item. When measurements specifying the same detection unit among the detection units are specified consecutively, the order of dispensing by the sample dispensing mechanism is changed so that measurements specifying different detection units are made consecutively.

The incubation device includes: an incubation unit (120) for incubating reaction containers (130) that contain a reactant or for buffering the cleaned and separated reaction containers (130), wherein the incubation unit (120) includes an incubation assembly (121) and an incubation driving assembly (122), the incubation driving assembly (122) is connected to the incubation assembly (121) so as to drive the incubation assembly (121) to move linearly along a third direction (30), and incubation positions (1211) for placing the reaction containers (130) are provided on the incubation assembly (121); and a transfer unit (110) for moving the reaction containers (130) into or out of the incubation unit (120), wherein the transfer unit (110) includes a pick-and-place assembly (112) and a pick-and-place driving assembly (111), the pick-and-place driving assembly (111) is connected to the pick-and-place assembly (112).
SYSTEM AND METHOD OF BIOCHEMICAL MOLECULE SYNTHESIS AND DETECTION IN A POINT OF COLLECTION SETTING
A system for nucleic acid amplification is to synthesize amplified target nucleic acids or determine the presence of target nucleic acid. The mobile device of the system implements with an interface for controlling the reaction as well as optionally recording or delivering the reaction results or protocols to a cloud for sharing. In addition, current invention also discloses an airborne molecule detector integrating both air sampler and biochemical analysis component. The device can monitor the bioaerosols on real time. The reaction product can be used for nucleic acid sequencing as well. Furthermore, a pH test strip is used to replace a halochromic agent in a reaction mix for determining the nucleic acid amplification.
Sample feed device
A sample feed device is provided, including: a body; a sample tray provided on the body; a moving part provided on the body and capable of reciprocating on the body, and the moving part provided with a transfer chamber, the transfer chamber capable of receiving a sample from the sample tray and transferring the sample to an analyzer with the movement of the moving part; a processing system provided on the body, and capable of performing helium gas purging and vacuum processing to the sample. The sample feed device may feed the sample automatically through relay transfer of the sample by the sample tray and the moving part. The processing system may perform the helium gas purging and vacuuming to the sample, which strips adsorbate on the surface of the sample by the helium gas purging, and removes the stripped adsorbate on the surface of the sample by vacuuming.
