Abstract
A sample measuring method of optically measuring a sample housed in a container in a sample measurement device, the method including: loading the container such that the container is shielded from light; starting to read information regarding a measurement to be performed on the sample in response to the loading the container; and measuring the sample based on the read information.
Claims20
A sample measuring method of optically measuring a sample housed in a container in a sample measurement device, the method comprising:
- loading the container such that the container is shielded from light;
- starting to read information regarding a measurement to be performed on the sample in response to the loading the container;
- and
- measuring the sample based on the read information.
A sample measurement device that optically measures a sample housed in a container, comprising:
- a housing;
- a load section that enables to load the container;
- a reader that starts to read information regarding a measurement to be performed on the sample in response to the loading the container;
- a measurement unit that measures the sample;
- a mechanical unit that is movable for the container loaded by the load section to be shielded from light;
- a detecting unit that detects that the loaded container is shielded from light;
- and
- a control unit that controls the reader and the measurement unit in response to detection by the detecting unit.
