Description
`/~!
s The invention is concerned with an ~utomatic analytical apparatus by means of which a plurality of biological specimens is investigated, more particularly an analytical apparatus for use in a medical diagnostic laboratory.
o In known analytical apparatuses of this type a group of specimen containers containing biological specimens to be tested is carried by a ca~ier disposed in the analytical apparatus. Loading of the analytical apparatus with a new group of specimen containers can not be performed until an entire working cycle has been 15 completed, i.e. until the procedural steps required in order to test all the specimens in the previous group have been performed and the analytical apparatus is again ready to test a new group of specimens. This way of operating limits the number of specimens which can be investigated with the analytical apparatus per unit of 20 time. It is desirable, however, to increase this number in order to make a more productive use of the analytical apparatus.
The object of the invention is therefore to offer an analytical apparatus wi~h which a larger number of specimens can be 2s investigated per uni~ of time.
Thus in one aspect the invention provides a~ ~pparatus for automatically analya:ing test specimens placed in specimen containers comprising:
3 o a) a stationary retention area in which a plurality of the carriers are retained, each carrier configured to accept the plurality of specimen containers during the analysis of the specimens in ~he apparatus;
and b) a number of display means equal to the number of camers, the respective display means operably corresponding to its respective carrier ~or simultaneously and continuously indicating the processing status OI the carrier in the retention area, such that the ,~ plurality OI display means indicate for eve~y car~er whether each carrier i8 awaiting processing, whether it i~ being proc~ed, and whcther processing of the carrier is completed, each display mean~
being positioned substantially adjacent to the position of its respective carrier in the stationary retention area.
The display means corresponding to its respective caxrier may include a plurality of light emitting diodes or indicator lamps or the L;ke.
In another embodiment the invention pro~ides a method for simultaneously aIld continuously displaying the processing status of each of a pluralit~ of carriers in an automatic analytical apparatus, each carrier containing a plurali~ of specimen containers, said mçthod comprising the step of providing a plurali~ of display devices operably cormected to the apparatus and its ~orresponding carrier, each of l;he display devices being capable of ~ndicating for its correspondmg carrier when the carrier is awaiting processing, when the carrier is being processed, and whe~ processing of the carrier is completed.
The advantage of an analytiçal apparatus embodying the invention is that groups of containers which have already been processed and which are no longer required in the analytical apparatus can be replaced continually with new groups of containers requiring processing while the analytical apparatus is operating. This is achieved by dividing the containers housed in the analytical apparatus into groups, each group being carried by one container carrier, and by permanently displaying the current processing condition of the container carriers. As soon as processing of all the containers in one container carrier is complete this is indicated by the associated display unit, and the carrier already processed can be replaced by another unprocessed ca~Tier, even while processing of the specirnen containers in the other carriers is still under way. ~n this way an increase is achieved in the number of specimens investigated in the analy~ical apparatus per unit of time.
