Abstract
An apparatus that detects a cap attached to a container containing a specimen or a reagent, and includes: an imager that acquires an image of the container together with a pattern arranged in a background of the container; and a controller that decodes from the image a code attached to the container. The controller recognizes specific classified results including the pattern from the image, and detects the cap based on presence or absence of the specific classified results.
