Abstract
In blood examinations, first basic items such as the number of red blood cells, the number of white blood cells and the volume of hemoglobins are measured (primary examination), then, on the basis of the results thereof, further specific additional items are measured such as leukocyte classification and measurement of reticulocytes (secondary examination). In this case, the basic items are measured by the basic analyzing module and the results of the measurement are analyzed to judge whether additional items are necessary or not, and only specimens requiring additional items are measured in the additional analyzing module. The additional analyzing module is provided with a temporary sump for temporarily retaining the measuring solution from the measuring solution preparing device. Thus, the blood examination may be done efficiently.
