The present invention relates to an analyzing apparatus () for analyzing a sample using a container () accommodating reagents sealed therein, while raising the temperature of the reagents up to a predetermined temperature. The analyzing apparatus () comprises a first temperature measuring means () for measuring temperature of the container (), a second temperature measuring means () for measuring temperature around the container (), a heater () for supplying heat energy to the container (), and a controller for controlling the heater () based on a measurement result at the first and second measuring means ().

Method of raising temperature of received object, and analyzing device

An analysis method using an analysis apparatus are described herein. By way of an example, the analysis method includes a first step of driving a pressurizing pump and a pressure-reduction pump, and of filling a liquid from a supply piping in an interior of a resistive body through which a sample passes, a second step of discharging, from a discharging piping, some of the liquid filled in the interior of the resistive body, and of securing a space in the interior of the resistive body for filling the sample, a third step of supplying the sample into the space, a fourth step of causing the sample to travel in the interior of the resistive body, and a fifth step of measuring a travel time of the sample in the interior of the resistive body by using the flow rate sensor.

Analysis device and analysis method

A test apparatus is disclosed for measuring a component. The test apparatus maintains the amount of a specimen to be used for a reaction with a reagent at a constant value by allowing all of a fluid specimen to be measured and thus improves the accuracy and reproducibility of a test. The test apparatus includes a solution storage unit capable of holding a solution beforehand or allowing a solution to be filled therein, a capillary having a first end part and a second end part for storing the fluid specimen, and a test piece for measuring the component to be measured in the specimen. The solution storage unit and the second end part of the capillary are communicable with each other, and the first end part of the capillary is placed so as to be in contact with the test piece.

Test apparatus

A sample analysis device is provided in which a target component to be analyzed is prevented from being contaminated by a sample itself, which can be formed in an appropriate size, and which has excellent operability. In a sample analysis devicein which a sample is to be held in a porous sheet, supporting filmsandare stuck on front and rear faces of the porous sheet, respectively, and a sample supply holeis formed in a part of the supporting films.

Specimen analyzing implement

The present invention relates to a test piece supplying device () comprising a container () for containing a plurality of test pieces, and also includes a movable body () moving relative to the container () with the test piece accommodated in a recess () so as to take the test piece out of the container (). The container () includes a sweeping portion () for interfering with the test pieces, in the container (), located above the test piece accommodated in the recess (), when the movable body () moves relative to the container (). When a warped test piece accommodated in the recess () is moved relative to the container (), the interfering portion () flattens the test strip to be accommodated in the recess () so that the test piece is easily taken out of the container ().

Analyzer-supplying device

A clinical test apparatus includes a reaction table ( ) for placing a test piece thereon for reaction of the test piece with an analyte at a predetermined temperature to perform analysis. The clinical test apparatus includes a primary coil ( ) fixed, as molded and sealed in resin, on a base facing the reverse surface of the reaction table ( ) and supplied with alternating power, a secondary coil ( ) mounted, as molded and sealed in resin, on the reverse surface of the reaction table ( ) in facing relation to the primary coil ( ) for inducing an electromotive force due to the alternating power supplied to the primary coil and a heater ( ) built in the reaction table ( ) for generating heat due to the electromotive force induced in the secondary coil.
