Abstract
An apparatus for providing an object to be medically examined by blowing is provided where air is blown into a container in which an object to be medically examined is stored, so as to make the uniform distribution state of the object to be medically examined from the inside of the container, thereby ensuring the sameness of the object to be medically examined, which is to be extracted from the container.
Claims19
An automated method for handling examination objects, the method comprising:
- delivering air upwardly through a cap filter to cause examination objects adjacent an upper side of the cap filter to be spread in a solution held by a container;
- after spreading the examination objects, sucking the solution downwardly through the cap filter to cause the examination objects to be collected along the upper side of transfer filter;
- mechanically moving the transfer filter, carrying the collected examination objects, away from the container and to a solution removal position, sucking solution from the transfer filter, which is located at the solution removal position;
- after sucking the solution from the transfer filter, mechanically moving the transfer filter from the solution removal position to a transfer position;
- and
- blowing the collected examination objects from the upper side of the transfer filter, which is located at the transfer position, onto a surface.

An apparatus-implemented method for handling examination objects, the method comprising:
- delivering fluid into a container to cause examination objects to be spread apart in a volume of solution held by the container;
- after spreading the examination objects, drawing solution through a filter such that at least some of the examination objects are collected along a collection surface of the filter;
- mechanically moving the filter, carrying the collected examination objects, away from an opening of the container and to a first position;
- drawing solution from the filter located at the first position;
- and
- after drawing the solution from the filter, blowing the examination objects from the collection surface to another surface.
3 more elements
An automated method comprising:
- delivering fluid into a container to cause examination objects to spread apart in a volume of liquid held by the container;
- drawing liquid through a filter to cause at least some of the examination objects to collect along a collection surface of the filter;
- robotically transporting the filter away from the container while the filter carries the collected examination objects;
- after the filter has been moved away from the container,
- drawing excess liquid from the filter;
- and
- delivering gas that passes through the filter to cause the collected examination objects to move from the filter to a surface.
