A sample analyzer comprises an input to select a sample type to be measured from a plurality of platelet sample types of differing concentrations, a measurement part to obtain optical information of a sample, a processing part that calculates platelet aggregation information from the optical information, and an alarm part. The processing part determines whether the actual measured sample type differs from the inputted sample type based on the optical information from the measurement part, and actuates the alarm part accordingly.

Sample analyzer and sample analysis method

The present invention relates to an anti-FDP monoclonal antibody selected from the first, second and third monoclonal antibodies having different reactivity towards FDP. The present invention also relates to a reagent and reagent kit for the measurement of FDP and a method for measurement of FDP using the anti-FDP monoclonal antibodies.

Anti-FDP monoclonal antibody, FDP measurement reagent and reagent kit using same, and FDP measurement method

The present invention relates to a reagent for the measurement of FDP comprising a carrier sensitized with at least two monoclonal antibodies selected from three monoclonal antibodies having different reactivity towards FDP. The present invention also relates to a reagent kit comprising the reagent and a method for measurement of FDP using the reagent or reagent kit.

Reagent and reagent kit for measurement of FDP, and measurement method

A platelet aggregation measuring method comprising: preparing a measurement sample which contains a sample and a reagent which includes a platelet activator; mixing the measurement sample at a first speed; mixing the measurement sample at a second speed which is greater than the first speed after mixing the sample at the first speed; obtaining optical information from the measurement sample while mixing the measurement sample at the second speed; and analyzing aggregation of platelets in the sample based on the optical information is disclosed. A platelet aggregation measuring apparatus is also disclosed.

Platelet aggregation measuring method and platelet aggregation measuring apparatus

A sample analyzer includes (a) a measuring part for measuring optical information of a sample at first wavelength, second wavelength, and third wavelength, first light of the first wavelength and second light of the second wavelength being absorbed by a second substance but substantially not absorbed by a first substance, and third light of the third wavelength being absorbed by the first substance; and (b) an obtaining part for obtaining content of the first substance in the sample, and content of the second substance in the sample, influence by the second substance being excluded from the content of the first substance, based on the optical information at the first wavelength, second wavelength, and third wavelength measured by the measuring part.
