Abstract
The present invention is a blood cell analyzer. When only measuring one or more measurement items included in one group, a first sample supplying operation is performed which includes aspirating a blood sample by a first amount. When measuring one or more measurement items included in the one group and another measurement item not included in the one group, a second sample supplying operation and a third sample supplying operation are performed. The second sample supplying operation includes aspirating the blood sample by the first amount for the measurement items included in the one group, and the third sample supplying operation includes aspirating the blood sample by a second amount for the another measurement item.
Claims20
A blood cell analyzer, comprising:
- a sample aspirating section which comprises an aspiration tube for aspirating a blood sample, and which aspirates a blood sample from a sample container by using the aspiration tube;
- a sample preparing section configured to prepare a measurement sample from the blood sample aspirated by the sample aspirating section and a reagent;
- a measuring section configured to measure the measurement sample prepared by the sample preparing section;
- and
- an information processing section configured to:
- control the sample aspirating section so as to perform a first sample supplying operation when the information processing section has received an instruction to only measure one or more measurement items included in one group with respect to the blood sample, wherein the first sample supplying operation includes aspirating the blood sample by a first amount and supplying the aspirated blood sample to the sample preparing section;
- and
- control the sample aspirating section so as to perform a second sample supplying operation and a third sample supplying operation when the information processing section has received an instruction to measure one or more measurement items included in the one group and another measurement item not included in the one group with respect to the blood sample, wherein the second sample supplying operation includes aspirating the blood sample by the first amount for the measurement items included in the one group and supplying the aspirated blood sample to the sample preparing section, and the third sample supplying operation includes aspirating the blood sample by a second amount for the another measurement item and supplying the aspirated blood sample to the sample preparing section.

- and
- when an instruction has been received to measure one or more measurement items included in the one group and another measurement item not included in the one group in the receiving step, a second sample supplying operation and a third sample supplying operation are performed in the supplying step, wherein the second sample supplying operation comprises an operation of aspirating the blood sample by the first amount for the measurement items included in the one group and an operation of supplying the aspirated blood sample to the sample preparing section, and the third sample supplying operation comprises an operation of aspirating the blood sample by a second amount for the another measurement item and an operation of supplying the aspirated blood sample to the sample preparing section.
5 more elements
At least one non-transitory storage medium which stores programs executable collectively by at least one processor to perform processes comprising:
- receiving an instruction of a measurement item with respect to a blood sample;
- and
- controlling a sample aspirating section to aspirate a blood sample in a sample container using an aspirating tube, and supplying the aspirated blood sample to a sample preparing section, wherein
- the processor controls the sample aspirating section so as to perform a first sample supplying operation when an instruction has been received to only measure one or more measurement items included in one group with respect to the blood sample, wherein the first sample supplying operation comprises an operation of aspirating the blood sample by a first amount and an operation of supplying the aspirated blood sample to the sample preparing section;
- and
- the processor controls the sample aspirating section so as to perform a second sample supplying operation and a third sample supplying operation when an instruction has been received to measure one or more measurement items included in the one group and another measurement item not included in the one group with respect to the blood sample, wherein the second sample supplying operation comprises an operation of aspirating the blood sample by the first amount for the measurement items included in the one group and an operation of supplying the aspirated sample to the sample preparing section, and the third sample supplying operation comprises an operation of aspirating the blood sample by a second amount for the another measurement item and an operation of supplying the aspirated sample to the sample preparing section.
3 more elements
