Embodiment Construction

[0072] Hereinafter, preferred modes for implementing the present invention (hereinafter referred to as "embodiments") will be described with reference to the drawings. figure 1It is a diagram schematically showing the configuration of a dispensing device according to an embodiment of the present invention. The dispensing device 1 shown in this figure has: a thin tube-shaped probe 2 that directly sucks or discharges the liquid Lq to be dispensed; a probe transfer unit 3 that moves the probe 2 vertically or horizontally The rotation action moves the probe 2; the syringe 4 sucks and discharges the cleaning fluid Wa as a medium for transmitting pressure to the probe 2; the tube 5 is connected to the probe 2 and the syringe 4 and serves as the cleaning fluid Wa. The flow path; and the pressure measurement part 6, which detects the pressure applied to the probe 2. Here, the cleaning liquid Wa is made of an incompressible fluid such as ion-exchanged water or distilled water.

Abstract

A dispensing apparatus in which, while the manufacturing cost is maintained, dispensing abnormality can be detected with high accuracy regardless of the characteristics of the dispensing apparatus, and an automatic analyzer including the dispensing apparatus are provided. The dispensing apparatus includes a probe (2) that directly sucks or discharges a liquid; a syringe (4) that generates a pressure necessary for the probe (2) to suck or discharge the liquid; a pressure measuring unit (6) that detects the pressure applied to the probe (2); a setting unit (14) that sets a correction coefficient used when correcting a physical amount based on characteristics of the dispensing apparatus; a storage unit (15) that stores therein information including the correction coefficient set by the setting unit (14), and a correcting unit (16) that corrects the physical amount using the correction coefficient stored in the storage unit (15).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a dispensing device for dispensing a liquid, and an automatic analyzer equipped with the dispensing device for analyzing a sample. Background technique [0002] In an automatic analyzer for analyzing components of a sample, a dispensing device is used for dispensing a sample or a reagent into a reaction container. The dispensing device has a structure in which a tube-shaped probe is connected to a syringe that generates pressure required to suck or discharge a sample or reagent through the probe through a pipeline, and the pressure generated by the syringe is transmitted to the probe through the pipeline. [0003] In the past, the following technology is known: in the dispensing device having the above-mentioned structure, the pressure applied to the probe is detected using a pressure sensor, and dispensing abnormalities such as clogging at the tip of the probe are detected based on the detection result (for example, re...
