Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To constitute a structure for executing a process of determining concerned items in a sample by connecting a prime mover to a process path to move a container, holding the sample, along the process path. SOLUTION: A prime mover 24 is connected to a process path 10 to move a container, holding a sample, along the process path 10, that is, a plurality of teeth are provided at the outer diameter surface of a disc 16 and meshed with a gear driven by the prime mover 24 fitted to a base 14 by a bracket 26. The prime mover 24 and the whole process path 10 are driven being connected to a control device such as a computer for executing appropriate routine or the like. The disc 16 moves corresponding to the motion of the gear driven by the prime mover 24. The base 14 guides the container along the process path 10 in correspondence with the motion of the disc 16. When the disc 16 moves, the container moves from one processing station to another processing station, and concerned items in the sample are determined.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To determine concerned items in a sample by moving a container along a process lane, and executing a process step selectively and automatically to the sample in the container. SOLUTION: A process step is executed selectively and automatically to a sample in a container while moving the container along a process path 10 (process lane), that is, a plurality of slots 18 are arranged at a disc 16 of the process path 10, and the slots 18 move the container along the process path 10. When the container moves from a charging lane to the process lane, the container moves along the process lane by the motion of the disc 16 in order to determine concerned items in the sample. The process of determining the concerned items in the sample includes separation of solid/liquid phase, suction and cleaning of contents in the container, and the like. The process path 10 has such constitution as to be able to execute all the processes of determining the concerned items.

Abstract: The embodiments disclosed relate to determination of an item of interest in a sample. One embodiment relates to a structure which comprises a process path. The process path comprises a process lane including a process step performance lane where a process step is performed, and a process step avoidance lane where the process step is avoided. A first prime mover is operatively connected with the process path for moving a container holding the sample along the process path. A first pipetting system is operatively associated with the process path for introducing the sample to the container. A second pipetting system is operatively associated with the process path for introducing a reagent to the container. A device is operatively connected with the process path and is selectively engagable with the container for mixing the sample and the reagent in the container. A second prime mover is operatively connected with the process path for selectively positioning the container in a selected one of the process step performance lane and the process step avoidance lane. A reader is operatively connected with the process path for determining the item of interest in the sample based upon a reaction between the sample and the reagent; the embodiments disclosed also related to determination of an item of interestin a sample. In one method, a process path comprising a process lane including a process step performance lane where a process step is performed, and a process step avoidance lane where the process step is avoided is provided. A container holding the sample is moved along the process path. The sample is introduced to the container. A reagent is introduced to the container. The sample and the reagent are mixed in the container. The container is selectively positioned in a selected one of the process step performance lane and the process step avoidance lane. The item of interest in the sample is determined based upon a reaction between the sample and the reagent; embodiments also described herein provide methods of performing a process for determining an item of interest in a sample. In one embodiment, a container for holding the sample is accepted in a process lane where a process step is selectively automatically performed on the sample in the container. The process step is selectively automatically performed on the sample in the container. An effective length of the process lane is maintained constant while a physical length of the process lane is selectively varied.

Abstract: Methods of constructing a structure for determining an item of interest in a sample are provided. According to one method, an effective length of movement of a container (15) for holding the sample in a process lane (28) where a process step is selectively automatically performed on the sample in the container (15) is determined. The process lane (28) is constructed such that the process lane (28) meets at least one of a predetermined throughput and a predetermined physical dimension. Elements are arranged along the process lane (28) such that the container (15) moves the effective length during performance of a determination of an item of interest.

Abstract: A method of constructing at least a first process lane and a second process lane, both for determining an item of interest in a sample; the method includes the steps of: (a) defining an effective length representing a total traveled distance of a container, in which the item of interest in the sample is determined, along a process lane where a process step comprises a process for determining the item of interest in the sample is performed; (b) constructing the first process lane to have a first physical length and the effective length; and (c) constructing the second process lane to have a second physical length different from the first physical length and the effective length; the sample is in particular a body fluid, for example, blood, on which tests are to be carried out for a component in the fluid, as part of the determination of the health of a person from whom the sample is obtained.
