Provided is an automatic analyzer that can perform a reagent preparation/disposal operation comfortably and smoothly as when printing a reagent list such as a reagent preparation/disposal list on paper even without printing the reagent list. The automatic analyzer that performs analysis using a sample and a reagent, the automatic analyzer including: a storage unit that stores reagent information related to a reagent remaining amount or a reagent expiration date of each of reagent containers; and a display unit that displays a reagent list in which reminder information that gives a reminder to an operator is assigned to each of setting positions of the reagent containers based on the reagent information stored in the storage unit. The reagent managing unit updates display of the reagent list such that a reagent container selected by the operator is visually identifiable while the reagent list is displayed.

The automatic analyzer includes: a device state managing unit that manages a device state of the automatic analyzer; an abnormality detecting unit that detects abnormality of the automatic analyzer based on information of the device state managed by the device state managing unit and a predetermined reference; an alarm planning unit that plans at least two alarms including an abnormality occurrence alarm and an handling available alarm regarding each of abnormality items detected by the abnormality detecting unit, the abnormality occurrence alarm being planned for notification to a user in a case where the abnormality occurs, and the handling available alarm being planned for notification to the user in a case where the automatic analyzer is in a device state where the automatic analyzer is available for handling the abnormality; and a notifying unit that notifies the alarms planned by the alarm planning unit.

Automatic analyzer

It is an object to provide a system for a service department to contact a customer for improving customer service when it is determined that the customer has difficulty in handling an alarm by themselves in the case where the alarm is generated due to abnormality of an automatic analyzer and the automatic analyzer is deactivated. The automatic analyzer includes: a display to display an alarm screen; a computer that generates alarm generation information that indicates that an alarm has been generated due to abnormality and alarm deletion information that indicates that the customer has deleted the alarm displayed on the alarm screen based on the alarm generation information; and an information sharing portion that shares the alarm generation information and alarm deletion information that are generated by the computer with an external alarm maintenance system.

Continuous polymerization method using a tubular continuous polymerization apparatus, wherein a peg 1 for tube cleaning is passed through a polymerization solution in polymerization tube 6 while contacting with the inner wall of the tube during the polymerization. The apparatus used in the method is equipped with polymerization tube 6; a first raw material inlet tube 8 connected with polymerization tube 6; a peg inlet tube 4 connected with polymerization tube 6; a second raw material inlet tube 10 connecting tube 8 with tube 4; valve 5 for opening and shutting between polymerization tube 6 and tube 8; valve 3 for opening and shutting between tube 10 and tube 4; and valve 7 for opening and shutting a connection between the tube 8 and tube 10. The invention can (1) eliminate the washing and cleaning of the polymerization tube at the exchange of species; (2) reduce loss in raw material and time which goes on until the inside of the tube reaches a steady state and (3) prevent scale production on the inner wall of the polymerization tube.
