Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zur eindeutigen Anordnung und Identifizierung von Proben gemäß dem Oberbegriff der Ansprüche 1 bzw. 3, Die zu untersuchenden Proben werden dabei nacheinander in die Vorrichtung eingegeben, die die Analyse durchführt.The present invention relates to a method and a device for unique arrangement and identification of samples according to the preamble of claims 1 and 3, respectively, the samples to be examined are entered one after the other into the device that is performing the analysis.
Gebräuchlich ist das Prinzip, nach dem eine Probe aus dem ursprünglichen Probenröhrchen, in dem die Probe in das Labor gebracht wird, zunächst in ein in den Analysator passendes Becherglas umgefüllt wird, um möglicherweise für eine Vielzahl verschiedener Analysen oder in einer Vielzahl von Analysatoren verwendet zu werden., Der nächste Schritt besteht darin, die Probenbecher in eine Scheibe oder in einen entsprechenden Rahmen einzulegen und die Daten in den Analysator oder in ein anderes entsprechendes Teil einer Datenverarbeitungsanlage einzugeben»Commonly used is the principle according to which a sample is taken from the original sample tube, in which the sample is brought to the laboratory, first transferred to a beaker that fits into the analyzer, to possibly be used for a variety of different analyzes or in a variety of analyzers to be., The next step is to put the sample cup into a disk or into a corresponding one Insert frame and the data in the analyzer or in another corresponding part of a data processing system to enter »
Dabei besteht das Risiko, daß die Probenröhrchen verwechselt werden. Das Blut- bzw. die Probenröhrchen können bereits beim Umfüllen recht leicht vertauscht werden, und die gleiche Gefahr besteht bei der Einordnung der Proben, da das Röhrchen in beliebiger Position in das Probenmagazin eingeführt werden kann.There is a risk that the sample tubes will be mixed up. The blood or sample tube can easily be swapped when decanting, and there is the same risk with the classification of the samples, as the tubes can be inserted into the sample magazine in any position can.
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, das Risiko der Verwechslung von Laborproben bei den Vorarbeiten und bei der Einordnung zur Analyse in einem Laboranalysator auszuschließen.The object of the present invention is to reduce the risk of confusion between laboratory samples Preliminary work and to be excluded when classifying for analysis in a laboratory analyzer.
Um das zu erreichen, ist das Verfahren der Erfindung dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß gleichzeitig das ursprüngliche Probenröhrchen in einen Probenrohrchenhalter gestellt wird und die Identifizierungsdaten und Testprogramme in die Vorrichtung eingegeben werden, woraufhin ein Bewegungsglied für die Proben die gewünschte Probenmenge entnimmt und sie in das Probenmagazin an die vom Computer der Vorrichtung bestimmte Stelle überträgt, die während des gesamten Arbeitsvorgangs gespeichert bleibt.To achieve this, the method of the invention is characterized in that at the same time the original sample tube is placed in a sample tube holder and the identification data and test programs are entered into the device, whereupon a moving member for the Samples the desired amount of sample is taken and transferred to the sample magazine by the computer of the device specific point that remains stored during the entire work process.
Gemäß einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung wird das nicht umgefüllte ursprüngliche Probenröhrchen als das Probenröhrchen zur Einführung in den Probenrohrchenhalter des Bewegungsglieds benutzt. Dadurch wird z.B. ermöglicht, das.Probenröhrchen nach erfolgter Einordnung bzw. Darbietung und Vorabfüllung zu einer weiteren Analysestation zu übertragen. Die ganze Arbeitsweise im Labor wird dadurch wirtschaftlicher gestaltet. According to a development of the invention, the original sample tube that has not been transferred is used as a the sample tube is used for insertion into the sample tube holder of the mover. This will E.g. enables the sample tube after classification or to transfer presentation and pre-filling to a further analysis station. The whole way of working This makes the laboratory more economical.
Die Vorrichtung zur Ausführung des Verfahrens ist durch ein Probenbewegungsglied gekennzeichnet, das · mit einem Flüssigkeitsstandfühler versehen ist und einen Probenrohrchenhalter aufweist, der Probenröhrchen verschiedener Größen aufnehmen kann.The device for carrying out the method is characterized by a sample moving member which is provided with a liquid level sensor and has a sample tube holder, the sample tube can accommodate different sizes.
Gemäß einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist der Probenrohrchenhalter ein mit Federn bestücktes konisches Einsatzstück.According to a further development of the invention, the sample tube holder is a conical one fitted with springs Insert.
Der Analysator hat gewöhnlich nur einen Ort, der jeweils ein Probenröhrchen aufnehmen kann. Dies verhindert, daß eine Probe, die für sich korrekt eingeordnet worden ist, an falscher Stelle eingeführt wird. Die Abgabe im Vorhinein erübrigt die Notwendigkeit eines größeren Probenvolumens, da der Computer die für die eingegebenenThe analyzer usually has only one location that can accommodate one sample tube at a time. This prevents that a sample that has been correctly classified for itself is introduced in the wrong place. The delivery in In advance, the need for a larger sample volume is superfluous, since the computer is responsible for the entered
Analysen benötigte Menge berechnet» Da das Original Probenröhrchen nicht in den Analysatoren aufbewahrt wird, kann eine größere Anzahl von Proben auf kleinstem Raum untergebracht werden, vorausgesetzt, daß bei normaler Arbeitsweise während des Tages kein Wechsel des Probenmagazins notwendig ist.Analyzes required amount calculated »As the original sample tube is not stored in the analyzers, a large number of samples can be stored in a small space provided that the sample magazine is not changed during the day during normal operation necessary is.
Die Erfindung wird in einem Beispiel anhand beigefügter Zeichnungen näher erläutert, die das Probenaufnahme- bzw. - bewegungsglied und dessen Arbeitsweise zeigteThe invention is explained in more detail in an example with reference to the accompanying drawings, which show the sample receiving or - moving member and its mode of operation showed
Das ursprüngliche Röhrchen mit der Blutprobe * .· wird in den Halter 2 des Bewegungsglieds 4 eingegeben. Die Identifizierungsdaten des Patienten werden mit einem optischen Codeleser vom Etikett 3 an der Seite des Röh'rchens abgelesen. Die Daten werden an den Speicher des Analysators weitergegeben» Daraufhin entnimmt der Arm des Bewegungsglieds 4 mit seiner Saugspitze die gewünschte P.robenmenge und überführt sie in das Probenmagazin zu der vom Computer der Vorrichtung gewählten Stelle.The original tube with the blood sample *. · Is placed in the holder 2 of the moving member 4. The identification data of the patient are provided with a optical code reader read from label 3 on the side of the tube. The data is sent to the memory of the Analyzer passed on »Then the arm of the moving member 4 removes the desired one with its suction tip P.sample quantity and transfers them to the sample magazine at the location selected by the computer of the device.
Ein separates Probenabgabesystem trägt dann die exakt dosierte Probenmenge zur Analyse in den Probenbecher. Dies führt zu einem absolut sicheren Beibehalten der Probenidentifizierung.A separate sample delivery system then carries the precisely dosed amount of sample into the sample cup for analysis. This leads to an absolutely secure retention of the sample identification.
Es versteht sich, daß die Erfindung nicht ausschließlich auf das gegebene Beispiel beschränkt ist und innerhalb der beigefügten Ansprüche modifiziert werden kann. Beispielsweise ist das Verfahren in jedwedem Bereich der Chemie anwendbar, in dem eine Vielzahl von Proben gleichzeitig in einen Analysator oder in eine Vorrichtung zur Verarbeitung eingegeben wird und die Identifizierung während des gesamten Prozesses beibehalten werden muß.It goes without saying that the invention is not restricted exclusively to the example given and can be modified within the appended claims. For example, the method is in any Applicable to the field of chemistry in which a large number of samples are simultaneously placed in an analyzer or in a Device for processing is entered and the identification maintained throughout the process must become.
Die Identifizierung der Probe kann automatisch z.B, mit einem optischen oder magnetischen Codeleser eingelesen werden, oder sie kann mit einer Tastatur eingegeben werden»The identification of the sample can be read in automatically, e.g. with an optical or magnetic code reader or it can be entered with a keyboard »
