Abstract
An automatic analyzing apparatus is provided which includes a member 401 fixed at a predetermined level which presses down the sample container sealed with the sealing plug that is floated from the rack due to friction between the probe and the sealing plug when pulling out the probe from the sample container sealed with the sealing plug, and a mechanism 402 that pushes down, toward the rack, the sample container sealed with the floated sealing plug in which the sample container sealed with the floated sealing plug is transported by the transport line, and disposed on a path of the transport line until re-inspection is performed after pulling out the probe from the sample container sealed with the sealing plug.
Claims14
An automatic analyzing apparatus including a transport line configured to transport a sample container mounted in a rack, and a probe that suctions a sample from the sample container at a suction position and discharges the sample into a reaction vessel, the probe pierces a sealing plug that seals the sample container, the automatic analyzing apparatus comprising:
- a member fixed at a predetermined level which presses down the sample container sealed with the sealing plug that is floated from the rack due to friction between the probe and the sealing plug upon the probe pulling out from the sample container sealed with the sealing plug;
- a mechanism that pushes down the sample container sealed with the sealing plug toward the rack upon transportation of the sample container on the transport line;
- and wherein the mechanism includes a contact portion that comes in contact with the floated sealing plug, and wherein the transport line transports the rack and the contact portion pushes down the floated sample container without stopping transportation of the rack.
