A nucleic acid amplification apparatus for amplifying a target nucleic acid derived from living organism, comprising: a measurement unit for amplifying the target nucleic acid in a measuring sample prepared from the living organism, and measuring a product of the amplification of the target nucleic acid; a measurement value obtaining unit for obtaining a measurement value related to an amount of the product of the amplification; and a judging unit for judging whether amplification inhibition of the target nucleic acid occur or not based on a first measurement value and a second measurement value, the first measurement value obtained from a first measurement sample and the second measurement value obtained from a second measurement sample having a difference dilution ratio from the first measurement sample.

Nucleic acid amplification apparatus and method

A sample analyzer for analyzing a sample with a liquid in a container is disclosed. The sample analyzer comprises: a reader that reads an information of a liquid in a container, the information of the liquid being stored in a storage medium; a display; and a controller including a processor and a memory under control of the processor, the memory storing instruction causing the processor to carry out operations comprising: determining whether the sample analyzer is ready to read the information of the liquid by the reader; and causing, when the sample analyzer is determined to be ready, the display to display an indication that indicates the sample analyzer is ready to read the information of the liquid by the reader.

Sample analyzer

An analyzers that comprise a container holder for placing containers; a detector for detecting whether or not a container is placed at the container holder; a controller for acquiring the status of the container holder based on the output of the detector; and a display for displaying the status of the container holder is disclosed.

Analyzer

An automatic sample analyzer includes: a pipette, a pipette driving device which moves the pipette to a sample vessel present in a predetermined position to cause the pipette to suck up a sample from the sample vessel, and then moves the pipette to an open vessel provided in another predetermined position to cause the pipette to discharge the sample into the open vessel, and an analyzing section for analyzing the discharged sample, the pipette driving device comprising a vertically movable main arm and an elongated guide arm cantilevered by the main arm and extending horizontally, the guide arm having a smaller flexural rigidity than the main arm, wherein the main arm vertically moves the pipette when the sample is to be sucked up from the sample vessel, and the guide arm guides the pipette to the open vessel and then vertically moves the pipette when the sample is to be discharged into the open vessel.
