A cerebral infarction treatment support system () includes a detection device (), a display (), and an image controller (), and the image controller () includes a receiver () configured to receive at least one of first information () generated by the detection device () or second information () related to a susceptibility gene generated based on the first information (), and a video output () configured to output at least one of the received first information () or second information () to the display ().

Cerebral infarction treatment support system

The present invention is a method for detecting a specific disease based on the result of a measurement in which the amount of a peptide serving as a biomarker contained in a biological sample is determined by using an LC-MS. A pretreatment process performed before the measurement using the LC-MS includes the steps of preparing a mixed sample solution by adding a stable isotope reagent and a trifluoroacetic acid to the biological sample, where the stable isotope reagent is prepared beforehand by labeling the peptide with a stable isotope; boiling the mixed sample solution; injecting the mixed sample solution after boiled into a solid-phase extraction column to make the peptide be retained in the solid-phase extraction column; and passing a water-soluble organic solvent through the solid-phase extraction column to elute the peptide retained in the solid-phase extraction column and collect the eluate.

Disease detection method

A pretreating apparatus includes a transferring mechanism configured to transfer a storing container storing an unpretreated sample or a pretreated sample, a pretreating portion having a port in which the storing container storing the sample is installed by the transferring mechanism, configured to pretreat the sample in the storing container installed in the port, and a diluting portion configured to suck a predetermined amount of the pretreated sample from the storing container and supply the sample and a diluent to an empty storing container to dilute the sample.

Autonomous preprocessing device and analysis system provided with the autonomous preprocessing device

To provide a preprocessing apparatus with a function of stirring and sucking a sample in a sample container carried on a conveyor line outside the preprocessing apparatus. The preprocessing apparatus includes a sampling unit, a unit that stirs a sample before suction, and a stirring operation control unit. The sampling unit includes a sample probe that sucks a sample in the sample container, and is configured to move the sample probe to the sample container set in the sample container setting part and to an external suction location set on a conveyor line located outside the preprocessing apparatus. The unit that stirs a sample before suction includes a stirring probe which stirs a sample in the sample container, and moves the stirring probe at least to the external suction location or a location upstream of the external suction location on the conveyor line. The stirring operation control unit is configured to control operation of the sampling unit and the unit that stirs a sample before suction so that a sample in the sample container is stirred by the stirring probe before the sample is sucked by the sample probe.
