Abstract
A specimen analysis apparatus according to an embodiment includes a first probe, a second probe and processing circuitry. The first probe aspirates a liquid biological sample from a sample container in which the biological sample is contained and dispenses the aspirated biological sample. The second probe aspirates a liquid reagent from a reagent container in which the reagent is contained and dispenses the aspirated reagent. The processing circuitry controls the first probe such that the biological sample is dropped into a water-repellent concave portion and controls the second probe such that the reagent is dropped into the concave portion.
Claims7
A specimen analysis apparatus comprising:
- a first probe configured to aspirate a liquid biological sample from a sample container in which the biological sample is contained and dispense the aspirated biological sample;
- a second probe configured to aspirate a liquid reagent from a reagent container in which the reagent is contained and dispense the aspirated reagent;
- and
- processing circuitry configured to control the first probe such that the biological sample is dropped into a water-repellent concave portion and control the second probe such that the reagent is dropped into the concave portion.
A dispensing apparatus comprising:
- a first probe configured to aspirate a liquid sample from a sample container in which the sample is contained and dispense the aspirated sample;
- a second probe configured to aspirate a liquid reagent from a reagent container in which the reagent is contained and dispense the aspirated reagent;
- and
- processing circuitry configured to control the first probe such that the sample is dropped into a water-repellent concave portion and control the second probe such that the reagent is dropped into the concave portion.
A specimen analysis method comprising:
- causing a first probe to aspirate a liquid biological sample from a sample container in which the biological sample is contained and dispense the aspirated biological sample;
- causing a second probe to aspirate a liquid reagent from a reagent container in which the reagent is contained and dispense the aspirated reagent;
- and
- causing processing circuitry to control the first probe such that the biological sample is dropped into a water-repellent concave portion and to control the second probe such that the reagent is dropped into the concave portion.
