A determination mechanism which obtains information about the weight of the specimen housed in the specimen container is arranged on a conveyor line for connecting between a loading module and an automatic centrifugal unit, the specimens are held without being installed at an adaptor until the number of the specimens which can be subjected to a centrifugal processing at once by the automatic centrifugal unit arrives, and the specimens are installed after the arrival in an order from a heavier specimen at the adaptors to be paired, which are installed at the symmetric positions to each other across the rotation central axis. Also, the specimen is installed at the gravity-center position of the adaptor first, and the subsequent specimens are installed from the inner side at the point-symmetric positions to each other across the gravity-center position.

Automatic centrifuge, pre-analysis system with automatic centrifuge and the control techniques of that system

An automatic analysis system, which is capable of quickly performing reinspection, includes a sample rack which holds a sample vessel containing a sample; a sample rack input unit in which the sample rack is input; a carrier line which carries the sample rack; a plurality of automatic analyzers arranged along the carrier line; a sample rack holding unit which holds the sample rack storing an analyzed sample; a sample rack collection unit which collects the sample rack storing an analyzed sample; a carrier line for reinspection which returns the sample rack containing a sample subjected to reinspection depending on analysis results; and a controller for returning the sample rack from the sample rack holding unit through the carrier line for reinspection and controlling any one of automatic analyzers different from one that has previously performed analysis to perform reanalysis of the sample.

Automatic analyzer

A processing device has a personal authentication information receiving unit for receiving personal authentication information, a security information DB, and a processing information managing unit. The processing information managing unit converts the personal authentication information received by the personal authentication receiving unit to a user ID, detects an event concerning a processing operation, and associates the event with the user ID, thereby creating or updating an access management table for processing performance information, for storage in the security information DB. The processing information management unit then controls access to the processing performance information based on the access management table and the user ID obtained by conversion of the personal authentication information received by the personal authentication information receiving unit.

Processing device capable of implementing flexible access control

An automated analyzer device has a main conveyance line capable of conveying a sample rack holding a sample, a plurality of analysis units arranged along the main conveyance line, a rack supplying device for supplying the sample rack to the main conveyance line and a rack housing device for housing the sample rack conveyed by the main conveyance line. The automated analyzer includes a controller for confirming that there is no sample rack on the main conveyance line before the main conveyance line receives the sample rack from the rack supplying device. The controller controls operation of the main conveyance line so as to convey the sample rack received from the rack supplying device by the main conveyance line to a position corresponding to a specific one of the plurality of analysis units by which the sample rack is to be received without stopping.
