When a bypass transport line is provided between multiple types of analyzers arranged on the main transport line, and a series of analysis items are sequentially analyzed by passing a sample through the multiple types of analyzers, The waiting time for analysis of each sample is minimized by comparing the processing capacity of each analyzer with the number of samples waiting to be analyzed by each analyzer and the number of samples to be analyzed preferentially by each analyzer due to emergency designation. A sample transport method in which each sample is distributed to the main transport line and the bypass transport line. 2. A bypass transport line is provided between multiple types of analyzers arranged on the main transport line, and when a series of analysis items are sequentially analyzed by passing a sample through the multiple types of analyzers, a bypass transport line is provided between the multiple types of analyzers arranged on the main transport line, and when a series of analysis items are sequentially analyzed by passing the sample through the multiple types of analyzers, the analysis wait time of each analyzer is Compare the number of samples for analysis with the processing capacity of each analyzer, and if there is an analyzer for which the number of samples waiting to be analyzed exceeds its processing capacity, the samples waiting for analysis will be transported to another analyzer via the bypass transport line. A sample transport method in which the sample is first analyzed by another analyzer and then returned to the analyzer through which it has not passed. 3. A bypass transport line is provided between multiple types of analyzers arranged on the main transport line, and when a series of analysis items are sequentially analyzed by passing a sample through the multiple types of analyzers, a bypass transport line is provided for each analyzer. If there is a specimen designated as an emergency, the specimen transportation method is to preferentially transport the specimen to an analysis device corresponding to the emergency designation via the bypass transport line. 4. A bypass transport line is provided between multiple types of analyzers arranged on the main transport line, and when a sample is passed through the multiple types of analyzers to sequentially analyze the first analysis items, instructions for retesting are provided. If there is a sample, the sample is transported to the analyzer again via the bypass transport line. 5. A bypass transport line in the forward direction and a bypass transport line in the reverse direction are provided between the plurality of types of analyzers arranged on the main transport line, and a series of analysis items are passed through the specimens to the plurality of types of analyzers. When performing sequential analysis, the processing capacity of each analyzer is compared with the number of samples waiting to be analyzed by each analyzer and the number of samples to be analyzed with priority by each analyzer due to emergency designation, and the analysis of each sample is performed. A sample transport method in which each sample is distributed to the main transport line, a forward bypass transport line, and a reverse bypass transport line so that waiting time is minimized. 6. A clinical test automation system to which the specimen handling method according to any one of claims 1 to 5 is applied. 7. A plurality of types of analyzers are arranged continuously on the main transport line, a bypass transport line is provided in parallel to the main transport line, and the main transport line and the bypass transport line are installed before and after each of the analyzers. A bypass transport line is provided to connect the above, and data such as the number of samples waiting to be analyzed by each of the analyzers and the number of samples to be analyzed with priority by each analyzer due to emergency designation is imported. A control device is provided for controlling switching of the main transport line, bypass transport line, and bypass transport line side path so that the analysis waiting time for each specimen is minimized by comparing the throughput of each of the analyzers. Operation device.
