Detailed ways

The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Similar elements in different embodiments employ associated similar component numbers. In the following embodiments, many of the details are described in order to provide a better understanding of the application. However, those skilled in the art can easily realize that some of the features may be omitted in different situations, or may be replaced by other components, materials, and methods. In some cases, some operations related to the present application have not been shown or described in the specification, in order to avoid that the core portion of the present application is overwhelmed by excessive description, and those skilled in the art will describe these in detail. Related operations are not necessary, they can fully understand the relevant operations according to the description in the manual and the general technical knowledge in the field.

In addition, the features, operations, or characteristics described in the specification may be combined in any suitable manner to form various embodiments. At the same time, the steps or actions in the method description can also be sequentially changed or adjusted in a manner that can be apparent to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the various sequences in the specification and the drawings are only for the purpose of describing a particular embodiment, and are not intended to

In this paper, the serial number of the component itself, such as "first", "second", etc., is only used for the zone. The objects described by the subsection do not have any order or technical meaning. As used herein, "connected" or "coupled", unless otherwise specified, includes both direct and indirect connections (joining).

The one-step test item in the present invention means that only one step of incubation is required for one test item; accordingly, the multi-step test item means that one test item requires multiple steps of incubation, such as a two-step test item. This means that the test project requires two steps of incubation. First, add the reagents needed for the first step of incubation to the sample, then perform the first step of incubation. After the first incubation time is reached, add the second step to the incubation. The reagent is then subjected to the second step of incubation, and after the second incubation time is reached, magnetic separation is performed again, and then the measurement is performed. Generally speaking, a multi-step test project requires magnetic separation after the final step of incubation, and then the measurement can be performed. In a multi-step test project, except for the last step, after the other steps are incubated, it is not necessary. Magnetic separation depends on factors such as the type of test item. For example, a two-step test project, if the first step of the test requires magnetic separation after incubation, the two-step test project can be called a two-step two-separation test project, if the first test is The magnetic separation is not required after incubation, and the two-step test project can be referred to as a two-step, one-separation test project.

In the one-step test item or the multi-step test item, the number of reagents to be added for each step of incubation or each incubation may be one type or multiple types, which is determined according to factors such as the type of test item. When one-step or multi-step test is used in one-step or multi-step test, when the type of reagent to be added is increased, the test item can be called multi-component test. project.

The inventors have found that magnetic separation cleaning is an inevitable process and link in various test projects. Since magnetic separation cleaning requires a long fixed time, magnetic separation cleaning is also a long-term process. Especially for some multi-step test projects that require multiple magnetic separation cleaning. Moreover, since the cycle of other units or components in the device needs to be consistent with the above-mentioned magnetic separation cleaning, the test speed and test throughput of the device are limited.

The inventors also found that multi-step test items and multi-component test items are the main reasons that affect test throughput when working with immunoassays. Taking a multi-component test project as an example, since the time required for each suction and discharge of the reagent needle cannot be infinitely compressed, and based on the characteristics of the immune reaction, the reagent needle of the same cycle needs multiple suction and discharge to complete one test. Component dispensing, in order to avoid the introduction of cross-contamination through the outer wall when the reagent is sucked into the components of different reagent chambers, the outer wall of the reagent needle needs to be cleaned between the different components, resulting in a multi-reagent group in one step test. The dispensing is one of the longest time-consuming steps in the analysis device. This affects the test throughput. In addition, the immunological analyzer sometimes needs to carry out test procedures such as sample pre-dilution and pre-treatment. These "non-standard" test procedures are also a cause of affecting test throughput.

After discovering the above problems, in order to improve the test speed and test throughput, the inventors found that the separation time can be solved from the magnetic separation cleaning, the dispensing time of the multi-component reagents in the multi-component test item, and the multiple magnetic separation process. Simplification, process simplification of the multi-step test project, etc., to solve any of the above problems can achieve the effect of improving test speed and test throughput.

Through the concept of the inventor, the inventors first proposed an automatic analysis device comprising at least two magnetic separation units, each of which operates independently for magnetic separation cleaning of the reaction liquid in the cuvette. In one embodiment, the magnetic separation unit comprises a magnetic separation disk disposed in a disk-like configuration, the magnetic separation disk having one or more orbits of independent or simultaneous movement, each track including a plurality of placements for placing the cuvette The magnetic separation disc is rotatable and drives the cuvette rotation in its placement position for scheduling the cuvette to the injecting and aspirating positions in the magnetic separation disc to complete the magnetic separation cleaning. The automatic analysis device proposed by the invention has no fixed working step limitation for each magnetic separation unit, and can be used for magnetic separation cleaning in any one-step test in a one-step test project or a multi-step test project, which greatly improves the whole machine. Test speed and test throughput.

In the event that any one or more of the magnetic separation units in the automatic analysis device fails, the present invention also provides an operation method of the automatic analysis device for causing failure of one or more magnetic separation units. The automatic analyzer can continue to work unless all magnetic separation units have failed.

Referring to FIG. 2, in an embodiment, the working method of the automatic analyzing device includes steps S40-S42.

Step S40: Before the start of the test, it is detected whether each magnetic separation unit has a fault.

In an embodiment, the magnetic separation unit includes at least one functional motion function component and a detection module for detecting whether each of the motion function components can normally move, and each of the motion function components is configured to perform at least a required process in the magnetic separation cleaning process. A feature. Before detecting the start of the test, detecting whether each magnetic separation unit has a fault, controlling each of the motion function components of each magnetic separation unit to move, when the detection module of any magnetic separation unit detects that the magnetic separation unit has any motion function component When the movement is not normal, the magnetic separation unit has failed.

Step S41: Marking the faulty magnetic separation unit as a fault.

Step S42: When the signal for starting the test is received, the magnetic that is not marked as fault is activated. The separation unit works. In an embodiment, initiating operation of the magnetic separation unit not marked as faulting comprises: controlling each of the magnetic separation units not marked as faulty to receive the cuvette in respective corresponding cycles, wherein the magnetic device included in the automatic analysis device When there are N separation units, the period of the receiving cuvette corresponding to the i-th magnetic separation unit is kN+i periods, N is an integer greater than or equal to 2, and k is an integer greater than or equal to 0, i The value ranges from 1 to N, and i is an integer. In one embodiment, the magnetic separation unit is two; when only one magnetic separation unit is not marked as faulty, after it is activated, the magnetic separation unit is controlled to receive the cuvette during the period of its corresponding receiving cuvette. .

When all the magnetic separation units are working properly, by properly scheduling the test items, it is possible to have at most one cuvette in each cycle that is about to undergo magnetic separation cleaning, or to have one and only one complete incubation in each cycle. The magnetic separation cleaning reaction cup appears, so that the magnetic separation unit of each independent operation can be utilized to the utmost extent, and accordingly, other mechanisms and units of the automatic analysis device cooperate with each other, so that at most one cycle of each cycle is completed, magnetic separation cleaning is about to be performed. The cuvette appears, or one or more of the cuvettes that have undergone magnetic separation cleaning in each cycle.

When there is a failure of the magnetic separation unit, then the cycle of receiving the cuvette corresponding to the magnetic separation unit cannot have a cuvette for completing the magnetic separation cleaning, because there is no corresponding magnetic separation unit to receive the cuvette. Therefore, when there is a failure of the magnetic separation unit, other mechanisms and units in the automatic analysis device originally cooperate to make the malfunctioning magnetic separation unit receive the completion of the incubation and the magnetic separation in the period of the corresponding receiving cuvette. The action of the cleaning cuvette is also stopped accordingly; in other words, when a magnetic separation unit fails, other mechanisms and units of the automatic analysis device that cooperate with the magnetic separation unit need to stop operating in some cycles. The reaction cup that receives the cuvette corresponding to the magnetic separation unit does not appear to receive the cuvette that is ready for magnetic separation cleaning after completion of the incubation.

Therefore, in an embodiment, taking the magnetic separation unit as two examples, the working method further includes: when only one magnetic separation unit is not marked as a fault, after the startup is started, the sample dispensing mechanism and the reagent are also controlled. The unit and the reagent dispensing mechanism work in an intermittent operation mode of one cycle and then one cycle, respectively, to cooperate with the magnetic separation unit not marked as a fault, so that the cuvette that has been subjected to the magnetic separation cleaning has been completed in time series In the period of receiving the cuvette corresponding to the magnetic separation unit not marked as fault; wherein the sample dispensing mechanism in the automatic analysis device is used for sucking the sample and discharging to the reaction cup located at the sample loading position The reagent unit is used to carry the reagent; the reagent dispensing mechanism is used to draw the reagent and discharge it to the reagent location.

Referring to FIG. 3, in an embodiment, the working method of the automatic analyzing device includes steps S50-S52.

Step S50: Start the test.

In an embodiment, after the test is started, each magnetic separation unit is controlled to receive the cuvette in a corresponding period, wherein when the automatic analysis device includes N magnetic separation units, then the i-th magnetic separation unit corresponds to The period of receiving the cuvette is kN+i cycles, N is an integer greater than or equal to 2, k is an integer greater than or equal to 0, and i ranges from 1 to N, and i is an integer. In one embodiment, the two magnetic separation units are two, and the two magnetic separation units are controlled to receive the cuvettes in respective corresponding periods, wherein one of the magnetic separation units corresponds to a period of receiving the cuvettes with an odd period, and The period of the receiving cuvette corresponding to one magnetic separation unit is an even period.

Step S51: Monitor whether each magnetic separation unit has a fault.

In an embodiment, the magnetic separation unit not marked as faulty is maintained in normal operation, including controlling the magnetic separation unit to still receive the cuvette during the period of its corresponding receiving cuvette. After the test is started, the detection module of each magnetic separation unit detects whether the moving functional components of the magnetic separation unit are moving normally in real time, and when the detection module of any magnetic separation unit detects that any of the magnetic separation units has a moving function component, the normal operation is not normal. When moving, it is indicated that the magnetic separation unit has failed, and then the magnetic separation unit can be marked as a fault in step S52.

Step S52: When the faulty magnetic separation unit is detected, the magnetic separation unit is marked as a fault, and the operation of the magnetic separation unit is stopped, and the magnetic separation unit not marked as fault is maintained in normal operation. In an embodiment, the magnetic separation unit not marked as faulty is maintained in normal operation, including controlling the magnetic separation unit to still receive the cuvette during the period of its corresponding receiving cuvette. In an embodiment, taking two magnetic separation units as an example, when a magnetic separation unit is detected to be faulty and marked as a fault, the magnetic separation unit not marked as fault is maintained in normal operation, and includes: controlling sample points. The injection mechanism, the reagent unit and the reagent dispensing mechanism respectively operate in an intermittent operation mode of one cycle and one cycle, respectively, to cooperate with the magnetic separation unit not marked as a fault, so that the magnetic separation cleaning is about to be completed after the incubation is completed. The cuvette is in time series in the period of receiving the cuvette corresponding to the magnetic separation unit not marked as fault; wherein the sample dispensing mechanism in the automatic analyzing device is used for sucking the sample and discharging to the sampled position In the reaction cup; the reagent unit is used to carry the reagent; the reagent is dispensed The mechanism is used to draw the reagent and discharge it to the reagent location.

When a faulty magnetic separation unit is detected, then the magnetic separation unit is undergoing magnetic separation cleaning, the magnetic separation cleaning cannot be completed normally, and the test results need to be marked to distinguish normal test results; similarly, The cuvettes that have been tested and will be assigned to the faulty magnetic separation unit are also required to be marked because the failed magnetic separation unit cannot receive them and magnetically separate them. To distinguish between normal test results.

Therefore, in an embodiment, the working method further comprises: when the faulty magnetic separation unit is detected, marking the corresponding test result of the cuvette located in the faulty magnetic separation unit to distinguish the normal test result. In an embodiment, the working method further comprises: when the faulty magnetic separation unit is detected, performing a cupping operation on the cuvette that has started testing and is to be assigned to the faulty magnetic separation unit, and The test results corresponding to the cuvettes of the throwing cup are marked to distinguish normal test results.

In one embodiment, the magnetic separation unit performs a Y-order magnetic separation cleaning after receiving the cuvette, wherein Y is an integer greater than or equal to 1; for any one-stage magnetic separation cleaning, including: to the reaction cup The separation liquid is injected, and the reaction liquid in the reaction cup is magnetically separated and cleaned; the reaction cup is then aspirated to complete the magnetic separation cleaning of the present stage; the reaction cup for completing the Y-stage magnetic separation cleaning is waiting for the magnetic separation unit to be dispatched, for example When the magnetic separation cleaning is the non-final one of the multi-step test test items; or, the substrate is added to the reaction cup which completes the Y-stage magnetic separation cleaning, and waits for the magnetic separation unit to be dispatched.

A specific mechanism structure of the magnetic separation unit of the present invention is given below. Referring to FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, a magnetic separation unit separated by a fourth-order cleaning may be taken as an example. The figure includes a magnetic separation disk 901, a magnetic separation liquid absorption plate 902, a magnetic separation liquid injection plate 903, a magnetic separation disk drive motor 904, a magnetic separation liquid absorption plate upper and lower drive motor 905, a reaction cup mixing belt 906, and a magnetic separation chamber 907. , magnetic separation unit transfer operation position 911, first-order magnetic separation liquid suction needle 931, second-order magnetic separation liquid absorption needle 932, third-order magnetic separation liquid absorption needle 933, fourth-order magnetic separation liquid absorption needle 934, First-stage magnetic separation injection needle 941, second-order magnetic separation injection needle 942, third-order magnetic separation injection needle 943, fourth-order magnetic separation injection needle 944, substrate injection needle 945, magnetic separation injection Syringe, magnetic separation aspiration peristaltic pump, substrate injector, substrate injection valve, substrate bottle switching valve and substrate suction valve. Wherein, the reaction cup mixing belt 906 can simultaneously mix the second-stage injection, the third-order injection, the fourth-order injection and the substrate injection cup, and the magnetic separation chamber 907 is provided with a magnet as needed. The substrate bottle can be a bottom puncture substrate bottle. Therefore, in an embodiment, the moving function component may be a magnetic separation disk drive motor 904, a magnetic separation liquid-absorption upper and lower drive motor 905, a reaction cup mixing belt 906, various stages of liquid suction needles, and various order injections. Needle, magnetic separation injection syringe, magnetic separation aspiration peristaltic pump, substrate injector 950, and the like.

The transfer mechanism is for scheduling the cuvette at least between the cuvette loading mechanism 1, the reaction disk 4, the mixing mechanism, and the magnetic separation unit.

The control unit is used to control at least the operation and timing of the sample dispensing mechanism 3, the reagent unit 5, the reagent dispensing mechanism 6, the reaction disk 4, the mixing mechanism, the measuring unit 10, the magnetic separation unit, and the transfer mechanism.

A one-step test project is used to explain the cooperation of the above-mentioned agencies, units, and the like. Under the control of the control unit, the transfer mechanism dispatches a cuvette from the split cup position of the cuvette loading mechanism 1 to the loading position, and the sample dispensing mechanism 3 sucks the sample from the sample unit 33 and discharges it into the cuvette located in the sample loading position. The sample loading position can be set in the reaction disk 1, that is, the sample loading position is a placement position in the reaction disk 1, and the sample loading position can also be disposed outside the reaction disk 1. When the sample loading position is outside the reaction tray 1, the transfer mechanism dispatches the reaction cup located at the sample loading position and the sample loading is completed to the reaction tray 1, and the reaction cup is discharged by the reagent dispensing mechanism 6 in the reaction tray 1. Then, the reaction cup is again dispatched from the reaction tray 1 to the mixing mechanism for mixing operation, and then the reaction cup is again dispatched from the mixing mechanism to the reaction tray 1 for incubation. After the reaction cup is incubated, the reaction cup is incubated. Then, the transfer mechanism is dispatched from the reaction disk 1 to the magnetic separation unit for magnetic separation cleaning. After the magnetic separation cleaning is completed, the reaction cup is dispatched from the magnetic separation unit by the transfer mechanism to perform final measurement. In an embodiment, the reaction disk 1 may have a measurement bit if The measuring unit 10 is a photometric unit, and accordingly the reaction disk 1 has a light positioning position. In this case, after the magnetic separation cleaning is completed, the reaction cup is dispatched from the magnetic separation unit back to the reaction tray 1 by the transfer mechanism, and when the reaction tray dispatches the reaction cup 1 to its optical position, the photometric unit reacts the reaction. The cup is lighted.

For scheduling of the cuvette throughout the test, a number of scheduling-related locations may be placed in the reaction tray 4, which may be placements in the reaction tray 4. In one embodiment, the reaction disk 4 has a reagent addition position at the outer ring portion, a first front operation position, a first rear operation position, and a second rear operation position at the inner ring portion, as described in detail below.

When the sample loading position is located in the reaction tray 4, the first front operating position is used to receive the transfer mechanism to move the reaction cup from the split cup position to the reaction tray 4. When the sample loading position is outside the reaction tray 4, the first The front operating position is used to receive the reaction cup from the sample loading position to the reaction cup of the reaction tray 4. The first post operating position is for the transfer mechanism to dispatch the cuvette to the mixing mechanism or to receive the transfer cup from the magnetic separation unit to the reaction cup of the reaction tray. The second post operating position is for the transfer mechanism to dispatch the cuvette to the magnetic separation unit.

In order to cooperate with each of the scheduling-related positions and the like in the reaction tray 4, in one embodiment, the transfer mechanism may include a first gripper 2 and a second gripper 7. In an embodiment, the first gripper 2 is arranged to move the trajectory past the split cup position and the first front operating position, and when the loading position is outside the reaction tray 4, the movement trajectory of the first gripping cup 2 is further After the sample is added. The second gripper 7 is arranged to pass the first rear operating position, the second rear operating position, the mixing mechanism and the magnetic separating unit.

When the sample loading position is located in the reaction tray 4, the sample loading position may be the same position as the first front operating position, or may be a different position; when the loading position is outside the reaction tray 4, the reagent position is added. The first front operating position can be the same position or a different position.

For example, when the sample loading position is outside the reaction tray 4, the addition reagent position and the first front operation position are not the same position, for example, FIG. 4, from the viewpoint of the test flow of a one-step test item, each position is illustrated. Scheduling and coordination.

Under the control of the control unit, the first gripper 2 dispatches a cuvette from the split cup position of the cuvette loading mechanism 1 to the loading position 31, and the sample dispensing mechanism 3 draws the sample from the sample unit 33 and will absorb the sample. The sample is discharged to the cuvette on the loading position 31; the first gripper 2 then dispatches the refilled cuvette from the loading position 31 to the first pre-operating position 411 in the reaction tray 4, and the reaction tray 4 will The cuvette is dispatched from the first pre-operating position 411 to the reagent-adding position 412, and the reagent dispensing mechanism absorbs the reagent from the aspirating reagent position of the reagent unit 5 and then discharges to the reagent-adding position 412. In the cup, the reaction tray 4 then dispatches the reaction cup to the first post-operation position 413, and the second gripper 7 dispatches the cuvette from the first post-operation position 413 of the reaction tray 4 to the mixing mechanism for mixing operation. For example, one of the mixing

mechanisms

81, 82; after the mixing operation is completed, the second gripping cup 7 then dispatches the cuvette from the mixing mechanism to the second post-operation position 42 of the reaction tray for incubation; after the incubation is completed When the cuvette is not in the second post-operation position 42, the reaction tray 4 is scheduled in the reaction tray, the reaction cup is first dispatched to the second post-operation position 42, and then the second gripper 7 is used to the reaction cup. Dispatching from the second post-operation bit 42 to the magnetic separation unit for magnetic separation cleaning, such as one of the

magnetic separation units

91, 92; after the magnetic separation cleaning is completed, the second gripper 7 then dispatches the cuvette from the magnetic separation unit To the first post-operation position 413 of the reaction tray; thereafter, during the predetermined substrate incubation time, the reaction tray 4 can just dispatch the reaction cup to the assay site 414 for determination by the assay unit 10; thereafter, the reaction tray 4 will be the reaction cup Dispatching from the measurement position 414 to the aspiration liquid level 415, aspirating waste liquid The material 11 absorbs the waste liquid in the reaction cup at the waste liquid level 415, and the reaction tray 4 then dispatches the reaction cup from the waste liquid level 415 to the first pre-operation position 411, and the first gripper 2 then reacts the reaction. The cup performs a cupping operation. For example, the first cup driver 2 discards the first front operating position 411 of the cuvette to one of the bowl holes 201, 202, and the bowl hole 201 communicates with a receiving device for loading the waste cup, for example The waste bin 202 is also connected to a receiving device for loading the waste cup, and the control unit can control the first catcher 2 to discard the cuvette to be discarded from the first front operating position 411 to the throwing hole 201, when the cup hole 201 When the receiving device for the connected waste cup is filled, the control unit notifies the user to replace the containing device, and controls the first catcher 2 to discard the cuvette to be discarded from the first front operating position 411 to the bowling hole 202.

As described above, the control unit in the automatic analysis device controls some units and mechanisms to perform corresponding operations in accordance with the timing. Generally, according to the cycle mentioned above, according to the operation of each unit and mechanism, for example, after the set period is a specific time, each unit and mechanism needs to complete a complete set of action flow in the unit time period.

For the cuvette device 1 to ensure that there is a cup in the cup at each cycle, for example, after the cup of the cycle cup is dispatched, the cuvette mechanism 1 will supply and carry a new cuvette to Cup position.

For the sample dispensing mechanism 3, it is necessary to complete at least one set of actions from the suction sample to the reaction cup of the sample loading position in one cycle.

For the reagent unit 5, it is necessary to complete the reagent to be discharged to the cuvette on the reagent position in one cycle, and dispatch it to the suction test position for the reagent dispensing mechanism 6 to suck.

The reagent dispensing mechanism 6 needs to complete at least from the aspirating reagent to the adding reagent in one cycle. The reaction cup completes a set of actions for discharging reagents.

The reaction tray 4 completes the preset number of rotations of the rotation in one cycle. For example, the reaction tray 4 has at least completed scheduling the reaction cup on the first front operation position 411 to the reagent addition position 413 in one cycle, and then The reaction cup with the added reagent is dispatched from the reagent addition position 413 to the first post operation position 413.

The mixing mechanism needs to complete the mixing operation in one cycle.

The measuring unit 10 completes the measuring operation in one cycle.

When there are N magnetic separation units, each magnetic separation unit needs to advance a cup position in N cycles, for example, rotating the cuvette in its placement position to the next adjacent placement position. When there are two magnetic separation units, each magnetic separation unit needs to advance one cup position in two cycles.

The suction and waste liquid unit 11 completes the operation of sucking the waste liquid to the reaction cup of the waste liquid level.

The transfer mechanism is used to schedule the cuvettes in accordance with the cycle of each mechanism and unit.

For example, the automatic analysis device in Fig. 4 can achieve the shortest cycle of 7.5 seconds in the industry, and the test speed is also very fast and improved. At this time, the cuvette device mechanism 1, the first gripper 2, the sample dispensing mechanism 3, the reaction tray 4, the reagent unit 5, the reagent dispensing mechanism 6, the second gripper 7, the

mixing mechanism

81 and 82, and the measurement The period of the unit 10 and the waste absorbing unit 11 is 7.5 seconds. Since the two

magnetic separation units

91 and 92 are included, each magnetic separation unit can receive one cuvette 15 seconds apart and advance one cup position, so the actual duty cycle of each magnetic separation unit is 15 seconds; At this time, it is a magnetic separation unit, and the period of the magnetic separation unit is also 7.5 seconds. The disk of the magnetic separation unit is relatively large, which increases the processing difficulty and cost, and the magnetic separation performance is difficult to guarantee or even achieve. Since FIG. 4 can include two independently operating

magnetic separation units

91 and 92, one receiving the cuvette in an odd cycle and one receiving the cuvette in an even number of cycles, there is no fixed working step limitation, which can be used for the first One-step magnetic separation cleaning can also be used for the second magnetic separation cleaning, which greatly improves the testing speed and test throughput of the whole machine.

The above is a working method after a failure occurs for a plurality of magnetic separation units in an embodiment of the present invention. In the prior art, there are also two magnetic separation units, one of which is to implement a two-step test. Two units are arranged on the test flow. The two magnetic separation units can only perform the first step of magnetic separation or the second step of magnetic separation. The function of each unit is limited by the whole machine scheme and cannot be flexibly called in the test sequence. It has no effect on improving the test speed, and it is impossible to realize the working mode of single magnetic separation; the other is the technical scheme adopted by the electrochemiluminescence analyzer, which uses two sets of electrochemical measurement modules, but due to electrochemiluminescence measurement The uniqueness of the quantity principle can only support the test of magnetic separation once. The measurement module has the function of magnetic separation and metering. The test entering the module will not be able to return to the test sequence again without any flexibility. The multiple magnetic separation disk schemes employed by the present invention are not only critical to the speed of testing, but their flexibility and interchangeability are not achievable by other solutions.

The specific magnetic separation cleaning process of the magnetic separation unit will be described below.

In an embodiment, the working method further comprises: performing a Y-order magnetic separation cleaning on the cuvette after receiving the cuvette, wherein Y is an integer greater than or equal to 1; for any certain order of magnetic separation cleaning, including Adding the separation liquid to the reaction cup, magnetically separating and cleaning the reaction liquid in the reaction cup; then aspirating the reaction cup to complete the magnetic separation cleaning of the current stage; completing the reaction cup of the Y-stage magnetic separation cleaning waiting for the magnetic discharge The separation unit, or, adds a substrate to the cuvette that completes the Y-stage magnetic separation cleaning, and waits for the magnetic separation unit to be dispatched. For example, the magnetic separation cleaning of the one-step test project and the magnetic separation cleaning of the last step of the multi-step test project need to be added to the substrate because the next process of the reaction cup is determined, for example, by the photometric unit in the optical position For optical measurement; other magnetic separation cleaning, such as multi-step test, does not include any of the other step tests, such as the last one-step test, the magnetic separation does not require the addition of substrate after cleaning, so the reaction cup is still To perform a subsequent step test.

The specific working flow of the magnetic separation unit may be described by taking the

magnetic separation unit

91 or 92 in FIG. 4 as an example. Please refer to FIG. 7 and Table 1, wherein FIG. 7 is a diagram of a fourth-order magnetic separation disk of the magnetic separation unit of FIG. The cup position in Table 1 refers to the placement position on the magnetic separation disk for placing the cuvette.

Moreover, the present invention introduces a corresponding fault detection mechanism and a working method related to fault detection by the at least two magnetic separation discs, so that when one or more magnetic separation units fail, the automatic analysis device can continue to work. For example, a magnetic separation unit that is not marked as faulty continues to operate while other units and mechanisms in the automated analysis device adjust the duty cycle to match the magnetic separation unit that is not marked as faulty.
