A pharmaceutical injection device may comprise a main body case having a cartridge holder, a piston that pushes out the pharmaceutical of a pharmaceutical cartridge held in the cartridge holder, a light emitting component, a light receiving component, and a controller. The light emitting component may shine light of different colors on the pharmaceutical cartridge disposed in the cartridge holder. The light receiving component receives light that has been shined from the light emitting component onto the pharmaceutical cartridge and reflected by the pharmaceutical cartridge. The controller may shine from the light emitting component and identify the type of pharmaceutical cartridge.

Pharmaceutical injection device, and method for controlling pharmaceutical injection device

The pharmaceutical injection device of the present invention comprises a cartridge holder, a main case, a piston, a motor, an opening component, an open/closed detection switch, and a controller. The motor drives the piston in either an insertion direction in which the piston is inserted into a pharmaceutical cartridge, or a pull-out direction in which the piston is pulled out of the pharmaceutical cartridge. The opening component opens the cartridge holder in conjunction with the movement of the piston in the pull-out direction. The open/closed detection switch detects whether the cartridge holder is open or closed. When the open/closed detection switch detects that the cartridge holder is open, the controller controls the motor so as to stop the piston.

Pharmaceutical injection device

A pharmaceutical injection device may comprise a main body case in the interior of which a pharmaceutical syringe can be mounted; a drive means that is provided inside the main body case and pushes out the pharmaceutical inside the pharmaceutical syringe through a syringe needle; a cover that opens and closes an opening on the side of the main body case where the syringe needle is mounted; an outside air temperature sensor that measures a first temperature, which is the temperature outside the main body case; a display component; and a controller that controls the drive means and the display component and acquires the first temperature at predetermined intervals. When the cover is closed, the controller causes the display component to display information about the storage state of the pharmaceutical in the mounted pharmaceutical syringe on the basis of the first temperature.

Pharmaceutical injection device, and pharmaceutical management system

Disclosed is a method for analyzing a sample solution, including introducing a sample solutionthrough a sample introduction partand developing the sample solutionto a developing layerthrough a capillary phenomenon to analyze an analyte contained in the sample solution, the sample introduction partbeing provided on one side of a test stripand the developing layerbeing provided on the other side of the test strip, wherein the test stripis disposed in such a development posture that the downstream region of the developing layer faces downward during the development. By this method, the developing rate is less susceptible to the viscosity of the sample solutionand thus has a small difference even among sample solutionsdiffering in viscosity. As a result, the analytical accuracy and reliability can be improved.

Method for analyzing sample solution and apparatus for analyzing sample solution

By measuring a luminance difference between predetermined two points or a luminance variation in a predetermined region in a state in which a liquid sample is developed in a chromatography specimen, and comparing the luminance difference or the luminance variation with a preset reference value, it is possible to automatically detect degradation such as a decrease in hydrophilicity in the lower portion of a liquid-impermeable sheet materialduring a chromatography inspection, thereby enabling an accurate inspection.

Chromatography inspection apparatus and method for judging degradation of chromatography specimen

Provided is a liquid sample analyzing method for analyzing an analyte in a liquid sample by using a test piece () on which overflow blocking lines () are formed to prevent the liquid sample from flowing to the outside from a passage region () of an extended layer (). In a state in which the liquid sample is not extended in the passage region () of the extended region (), the test piece () is measured so as to cross the passage region () of the extended layer () and the overflow blocking lines (). Thus in a state in which a difference in brightness is large between the passage region () of the extended region () and the overflow blocking lines (), it is possible to properly recognize the boundary portions between the passage region () of the extended region () and the overflow blocking lines ().

Liquid sample analyzing method

A liquid sample analysis device includes a holder partholding a test piece, an optical systemthat optically detects a reaction state of a liquid sample and a reagent, and a support memberthat integrally supports the holder partand the optical system. The orientation of the test pieceis changed with respect to the direction of gravitational force by rotating the support member

Liquid sample analysis device

Provided is a device in which light from a samplefixed in a test pieceis captured by an image sensorthrough an optical system made up of a lens, a diaphragm, and so on and concentration information is obtained, wherein a wide-band light sourcefor illuminating the test pieceis combined with an optical filterfor optionally selecting a wavelength of the light captured by the image sensor. Thus it is possible to reduce a measurement error caused by a change of the light quantity distribution of the light source
