Blood coagulation analyzer and blood coagulation analyzing method

A blood coagulation analyzing method comprising:

• generating light from light sources including a first light source configured to generate light of a first wavelength for blood coagulation time measurement, a second light source configured to generate light of a second wavelength for synthetic substrate measurement, and a third light source configured to generate light of a third wavelength for immunonephelometry measurement, wherein the respective light sources are held by light source holders;
• making the lights from the light sources incident on incident ends of optical fiber parts, wherein the incident ends of the optical fiber parts are held by incident end holders such that the incident ends face the respective light sources;
• applying light emitted from each of exit ends of the optical fiber parts onto a container configured to contain a measurement specimen storing a sample and a reagent;
• detecting light transmitted through the container so as to analyze the sample using the detected light.

A blood coagulation analyzer comprising:

• a first light source configured to generate light having a wavelength of 620 nm to 690 nm which is applied to blood coagulation time measurement,
• a second light source configured to generate light having a wavelength of 390 nm to 420 m which is applied to synthetic substrate measurement,
• a third light source configured to generate light having a wavelength of 690 nm to 820 nm which is applied to immunonephelometry measurement;
• light source holders holding the first to third light sources;
• optical fibers, arranged correspondingly to respective light sources, each configured to lead light from one end to the other end, the one end being held by an incident end holder such that a center axis of the optical fiber is aligned with an optical axis of corresponding light source, and the other end being arranged to emit the light led through the optical fiber onto a container storing a measurement specimen prepared from a sample and a reagent;
• a light reception part configured to receive light transmitted through the container;
• and
• a computer configured to analyze a data generated based on electric signal outputted from the light reception part.
