20110255090 | PHOTOMETER AND ANALYZING SYSTEM PROVIDED WITH PHOTOMETER - In an analysis system for detecting amounts of components contained in samples, many samples can be measured simultaneously in the whole of the system by use of compact inexpensive photometers. An LED with low heat generation and a long life span is used as a light source. Compactness is achieved by bended optical axis instead of a straight one. Components for bending an optical axis and components for condensing light to ensure an amount of light are in common use to reduce the number of components. Compactness, reduction of the number of components, and integration achieve easy optical axis alignment and precise measurement. | 10-20-2011 |
20110293476 | SAMPLE ANALYZING DEVICE - To reduce measurement time, it may be considered to quicken reaction or speed up analytic determination. In existing analyzing devices, photometry is performed, typically, about every 15 seconds, so that it has not been possible to secure satisfactory reproducibility. Namely, reducing the measurement time and securing reproducibility have not been compatible. It has therefore been desired to increase the number of times of measurements performed in a short period of time. A cell disk is controlled to stop at a position for photometry during the time after a sample and a reagent are mixed and before measurement is finished and, while the cell disk is stopped, photometry is performed once or plural times thereby increasing the total number of times of measurements. | 12-01-2011 |

20120282139 | BLOOD COAGULATION ANALYZER - A blood coagulation analyzer that realizes both securement of a wide dynamic range and enhancement of sensitivity in blood coagulation analysis by selecting an appropriate angle of detection depending on the intensity of scattered light from each specimen without causing complexity of the analyzer. The analyzer has a reaction container. A storage unit is provided which takes in and stores multiple pieces of chronological light intensity variation data acquired from detectors arranged around a reaction container. A judgment unit selects light intensity variation data to be used for calculation of a blood coagulation time from the multiple pieces of light intensity variation data stored in the storage unit based on the amount of light intensity variation. A calculation unit calculates the blood coagulation time from the light intensity variation data selected by the judgment unit. | 11-08-2012 |
20120288409 | ANALYSIS DEVICE - An analysis device using scattering light is provided capable of, when a foreign substance such as a bubble is mixed in a measurement target or is attached in a reaction container, reducing the influence by the foreign substance while improving the S/N ratio characteristics. Two or more detectors are disposed on a plane orthogonal to an optical axis of light applied to the measurement target and on a circumference around the optical axis. A change in outputs from the detectors is observed, and a detector influenced by noise due to a foreign substance such as a bubble is specified for rejection, and outputs from the detectors are averaged. | 11-15-2012 |

20130132022 | AUTOMATIC ANALYZER AND AUTOMATIC ANALYSIS METHOD - An automatic analyzer is capable of reducing the influence of scattered light having noise components to enhance the S/N ratio properties of a light reception signal. Data is obtained at a plurality of angles by a plurality of detectors and a signal obtained by one detector selected from among the detectors is selected as a reference signal. An approximation is applied by an approximation selection unit, and an approximation calculation unit calculates an approximation using the selected approximation. A degree of variability of the reference signal is determined and a data correction unit corrects the signal of the detector by dividing the signal of the detector by the degree of variability of the reference signal. A concentration calculation processing unit performs the concentration calculation by use of the corrected signal data, and a result output unit outputs the results on a display. | 05-23-2013 |

20130301048 | AUTOMATIC ANALYZER - The scattered light from the measurement target substance passes through a light receiving window, and is received by a detector for +θ scattered light and a detector for −θ scattered light which are arranged symmetrically to each other across an optical axis at an equal angle or an equal interval in a vertical direction. A light source is fixed by a light-source holder (that is a base member on which the light source is arranged), and the detectors are arranged on and fixed to a detector holder (that is a base member on which the detectors are arranged). In this manner, drift of the light quantity data caused by the thermal deformation of the optical system can be corrected by comparing values of the light quantity data of the detectors. | 11-14-2013 |
