Disclosed is a sample dispensing method. The method comprises: suctioning a urine sample from a sample container by a first nozzle; moving the first nozzle to a holding chamber after the first nozzle has suctioned the urine sample from the sample container, and discharging the urine sample into the holding chamber; moving the first nozzle to a first wash tank and washing the first nozzle in the first wash tank after the first nozzle has discharged the urine sample into the holding chamber; and moving a second nozzle to the holding chamber after the first nozzle has started moving to the first wash tank, and moving the second nozzle which has suctioned the urine sample from the holding chamber to respective plurality of processing chambers and discharging a part of the urine sample to the respective plurality of processing chambers.

Urine sample analyzer and urine sample dispensing method

In accordance with embodiments, a transport mechanism transports a first sample container to a sample aspiration position. A setting part may set a second sample container, that accommodates a sample to be measured, with priority over a measurement of a sample in a first sample container. A nozzle may be capable of moving a sample from a first sample container at a sample aspiration position, and aspirating the sample from the second sample container. A detector may detect components of the sample. A controller may control a transport mechanism such that the first sample container moves to a position distant from the sample aspiration position, when the first sample container has been transported and when sample aspiration of the second sample container is required. A controller may execute control to move the nozzle above the sample aspiration position in state in which the first sample container is distant from the sample aspiration position.

Sample analyzer, transportation apparatus, and method

Disclosed is a urine sample dispensing method. The method comprises: (i) suctioning a urine sample using a nozzle; (ii) flowing the urine sample suctioned by the nozzle through a filter for capturing foreign matter, the filter being provided in a flow path connected to the nozzle; and (iii) changing a flow course of the urine sample or a position of the filter so that the filter is not positioned on the flow course of the urine sample, when the urine sample that has passed through the filter is discharged from the nozzle.
