Application: Automatic analyzer (Patent ID: US20240192244A1)
The automatic analyzer described in the patent filed by Hitachi Ltd. aims to reduce the burden on operators by improving reagent handling mechanisms, ultimately enhancing device throughput and reducing required installation space. The analyzer includes multiple reagent dispensing mechanisms, reagent disks for storing reagent bottles, and a carrying mechanism to transport bottles between different positions. The reagent carrying position is strategically located between the putting-in positions on the front side of the device when viewed from above, optimizing efficiency and space utilization.
Furthermore, the patent outlines additional features such as a reagent putting-in port for operator convenience, a reagent holding unit with a carrying tray, and a gripper mechanism that can move in multiple directions. The design also includes mechanisms for opening reagent bottle caps, waiting positions for the gripper mechanism to avoid interference during operations, and the ability to detach the reagent holding unit from the device. These features collectively contribute to a more streamlined and user-friendly automatic analyzer system, addressing key challenges in reagent handling and device operation efficiency.
