自動化診断用分析器および方法
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP4550131
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
An automated analyzer for performing multiple diagnostic assays simultaneously includes multiple stations, or modules, in which discrete aspects of the assay are performed on fluid samples contained in reaction receptacles. The analyzer includes stations for automatically preparing a specimen sample, incubating the sample at prescribed temperatures for prescribed periods, performing an analyte isolation procedure, and ascertaining the presence of a target analyte. An automated receptacle transporting system moves the reaction receptacles from one station to the next.; The analyzer further includes devices for carrying a plurality of specimen tubes and disposable pipette tips in a machine-accessible manner, a device for agitating containers of target capture reagents comprising suspensions of solid support material, and a device for holding containers of reagents in a temperature controlled environment. A method for performing an automated diagnostic assay includes an automated process for isolating and amplifying a target analyte.
