Abstract
A sample analysis system and a sample management method are provided. The sample analysis system includes: one or more analysis devices configured to test a sample; a scanning component configured to scan the sample to obtain scanning information before testing the sample by the analysis devices; an image information obtaining component configured to acquire image information of a region in the sample containing a sample identifier; a processor configured to identify the sample identifier of the sample according to at least one of the scanning information or the image information of the sample. The system can obtain the sample identifier of a sample in two ways, thus improving the efficiency of sample test.
Claims14
A sample analysis system, comprising:
- a scanning component configured to scan a region containing a sample identifier of a sample on a sample holding container containing the sample, to obtain scanning information of the sample identifier;
- an image information obtaining component configured to obtain an image of the region containing the sample identifier of the sample on the sample holding container;
- and
- a processor configured to determine the sample identifier of the sample based on the scanning information of the sample identifier,
- wherein, when the processor fails to determine the sample identifier of the sample based on the scanning information, the processor is further configured to;
- perform image recognition on the image of the region containing the sample identifier of the sample on the sample holding container to determine the sample identifier of the sample, and determine at least one test item to be performed for the sample based on said determined sample identifier.
A sample management method, performed by a sample analysis system, comprising:
- scanning, by a scanning component of the sample analysis system, a region containing a sample identifier of a sample on a sample holding container containing the sample, to obtain scanning information of the sample identifier;
- determining, by a processor of the sample analysis system, the sample identifier of the sample based on the scanning information;
- performing, by the processor, image recognition on n image of the region containing the sample identifier of the sample on the sample holding container to determine the sample identifier of the sample, when the sample identifier of the sample is failed to be determined based on the scanning information of the sample identifier;
- and
- determining, by the processor, at least one test item to be performed for the sample based on the sample identifier determined based on the image.
