Description

  The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for sampling a sample of blood or the like collected by a blood collection tube or the like and cleaning a sampling tube in a blood test apparatus or the like, and in particular, a sealed sample container and an open sample container are commonly used. The present invention relates to a sample sampling apparatus and a sampling method that can be appropriately and smoothly performed by the sample sampling apparatus.

Today, an automatic blood cell counter is known as a typical blood test apparatus. As shown in FIG. 7, for example, the automatic blood cell counter includes a blood quantification / dilution processor A, a blood cell detector B, and a counter processor C. In the automatic blood cell counter configured as described above, blood containing a certain amount of anticoagulant from the blood collection tube A1 is appropriately sampled into the dilution containers A3 and A4 via the sampling tube A2. Next, the blood sampled in the dilution containers A3 and A4 is transferred to the reaction chamber and the counting chamber together with an appropriate amount of diluent and hemolytic agent A5, and in the blood cell detector B, the red blood cell / platelet B1, white blood cell B2, and hemoglobin concentration B3 is detected. In this way, the measurement signals detected by the blood cell detector B are respectively subjected to arithmetic processing C1, C2, C3 by the counting processor C, and the measurement results are output and displayed by the display means C4. Yes.

  However, in the conventional blood cell counter configured as described above, for example, when the blood of the blood collection tube is sucked (sampled) into the dilution detector via the suction tube (sampling tube), the suction tube (sampling tube) If the sample blood adheres to the outer peripheral portion, this blood is mixed into the blood to be diluted, and the dilution factor varies. Therefore, in such a case, there is a problem that a significant measurement error occurs in the measurement result of the blood cell count.

  From this point of view, the applicant can first remove the blood adhering to the outer peripheral portion of the suction tube (sampling tube) without using a dedicated cleaning solution, and can accurately remove blood cells. Was developed and a patent was obtained (see Patent Document 1). That is, the blood cell counter described in Patent Document 1 is a blood cell counter including a suction tube that sucks sample blood and discharges it into a counting container that counts the number of blood cells in the blood. And a cleaning means for cleaning and removing the blood adhering to the outer periphery of the suction tube with a cleaning liquid after the sample blood has been sucked, and a cleaning drainage liquid for cleaning the counting container after blood cell counting for the suction tube It has a configuration in which liquid feeding means for feeding liquid to the washing means is provided as a cleaning liquid.

  Further, regarding a pipette device in an automatic analyzer configured to suck a required amount of liquid and discharge the liquid at another position, the pipette is bent even from inside a container with a rubber stopper. There has been proposed a pipette device having a simple configuration that can easily suck a liquid without damaging it and that does not require a separate liquid level detecting means (see Patent Document 2). That is, the pipette device described in Patent Document 2 includes a fixed outer cylinder and an inner cylinder that can be moved up and down and is housed in the fixed outer cylinder, and the inner cylinder and the fixed outer cylinder. The gap portion is configured to be supplied with cleaning water.

  Furthermore, as a sample collection device that can automatically collect blood from a blood collection tube in the past, when collecting a sample (blood) inside a sample container (collection tube) by piercing the nozzle into a rubber stopper, a collection nozzle is provided. A sampling device that prevents direct contact with the rubber stopper has been proposed (see Patent Document 3). That is, in the sample collecting device described in Patent Document 3, the nozzle portion is composed of an inner nozzle and an outer nozzle, and when puncturing the rubber stopper, the puncturing is performed with the inner nozzle stored in the outer nozzle. After the puncture, the sample is collected by lowering the tip of the inner nozzle from the tip opening of the outer nozzle, and after the sample is collected, the nozzle is cleaned using a cleaning tank. is there.

However, in the past , an open type and a sealed type are used as blood collection tubes for collecting blood in blood tests, blood analysis, and the like . Therefore, when sampling (sampling) samples from these blood collection tubes, different sampling mechanisms are used.
That is, when sampling from a sealed blood collection tube, it is necessary to use a sampling mechanism provided with a sampling tube whose tip is formed in a needle shape. On the other hand, when sampling from an open-type blood collection tube, the sampling mechanism including the sampling tube is dangerous, and its use is avoided. In addition, in order to perform sampling from a sealed blood collection tube with high accuracy, it is necessary to open the blood collection tube to the atmosphere in advance, and a mechanism for that purpose is required. Therefore, it is difficult to share the sampling mechanism. It was.

In general, in the case of a sealed blood collection tube, when an automated blood test apparatus or blood analysis apparatus is applied, it can be set so as to be integrated with a sampling mechanism for sampling. On the other hand, in the case of an open type blood collection tube, since manual operation is required for sampling, it is necessary to expose the sampling tube to the outside. For this reason, when the sampling tube is cleaned after each sampling, it is difficult to make the cleaning operation common because of the difference in operation of the sampling mechanism.
