A clinical specimen processing apparatus that includes: a preparation device that is configured to conduct operations to perform predetermined processing of clinical specimen; a controller in communication with the preparation device, wherein the controller is configured to detect an operating condition of the preparation device which performs the predetermined processing; a central processing unit that is configured to: 1) compare a detection value detected by the controller to a first threshold value and a second threshold value; and 2) determine whether or not the preparation device is in any one of three condition stages.

Clinical specimen processing apparatus and clinical specimen processing system

Provided is a specimen preparation apparatus capable of supplying a specimen from the specimen preparation apparatus to a specimen analyzer without burdening an operator. This specimen preparation apparatus comprises a stained specimen preparation part for preparing a specimen on a slide glass and staining the specimen, a keeping part for storing the stained specimen slide glass prepared in the stained specimen preparation part and a control part for deciding whether to supply the stained specimen slide glass to the keeping part or to the external apparatus.

Specimen preparation apparatus, specimen preparation/analysis system and specimen plate

The clinical specimen processing apparatus is provided with a discharge pipette and supply pipette for staining in conjunction a blood smear sample preparation operation, a top sensor for detecting whether or not the operations of raising the discharge pipette and supply pipette are performed normally, and a controller for re-executing the operations of raising the discharge pipette and supply pipette based on the top sensor detecting that the operations of raising the discharge pipette and supply pipette are not performed normally.

Clinical specimen processing apparatus

A sample imaging apparatus comprising: a sample image obtainer for obtaining an image of a sample smeared on a sample holder, the sample holder comprising an identification part which comprises identification information of the sample; an identification detector for detecting the identification information; an identification part image obtainer for obtaining an identification part image comprising an image of at least a portion of the identification part; an output device; and a controller for controlling the output device, such that the image of the sample and the identification part image are output when the identification detector can not detect the identification information is disclosed. A sample analyzing system, a sample analyzing apparatus, and a sample imaging method are also disclosed.

Sample imaging apparatus, sample analyzing apparatus, and sample imaging method

The sample preparing apparatus comprises a smear forming means for forming a sample smear on a slide glass, a print means for printing sample identification information on a slide glass, a mode selecting means for selecting one operating mode from among a plurality of operating modes including a print mode, and a control means for selectively controlling the print means and the smear forming means. The control means operates the print means without operating the smear forming means when the print mode is selected.
