Abstract:
A sample processing apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a sample processing section configured to perform a process on a sample; and a controller configured to execute an order defining a process to be performed on a sample and to cause the sample processing section to perform the process on the sample according to the order. When the controller receives an instruction to perform a shutdown operation, the controller performs the following operations comprising: prohibiting the execution of the shutdown operation if an unexecuted order remains; and causing the sample processing section to perform the shutdown operation if there is no unexecuted order.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a sample analyzer for analyzing a sample, including: a preparing unit that mixes a sample, a surfactant-containing diluent, and a nucleic acid staining reagent to prepare a measurement specimen in which nucleic acids of nucleated cells are stained and red blood cells are hemolyzed; a detecting unit that irradiates particles included in the measurement specimen with light to receive scattered light and fluorescence light emitted from the particles and output a detection signal; and a processing unit that counts white blood cells and fungi in the sample based on the detection signal.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for displaying a result of analysis performed on a specimen containing formed components. The method includes: obtaining, from each of the formed components, measurement values of at least three parameters; displaying a screen including a three-dimensional distribution chart in which the three parameters are used as axes and the formed components are represented by dots; and hiding specific dots on the three-dimensional distribution chart or changing a display format of the specific dots, according to an operation performed by a user.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a management method for an analyzer that is not communicably connected to a management device, the management method being performed by using the management device, a terminal that is communicably connected to the management device, and the analyzer, the management method comprising: preparing, by the analyzer, management information that is to be obtained by the management device and that is included in information stored in the analyzer; obtaining the prepared management information by the terminal; and transmitting the obtained management information from the terminal to the management device.
