- a blood sample a blood sample
- the blood analyzer will pre-specify the required blood volume.
- venous blood collection a larger blood sample is usually collected, usually not less than 1 mL (milliliter), which is suitable for adult subjects.
- peripheral blood is often collected, but in this case, the amount of blood that can be collected is less, usually no more than 200 ⁇ L (microliters). ).
- blood samples are usually loaded with blood collection tubes containing anticoagulants.

Description
本发明实施例涉及样本检测领域,尤其是涉及一种样本分析仪以及一种样本分析仪方法。
在血液分析仪对血液样本(以下简称血样)的检测中,需要从受试者采集一定量的血样。通常血液分析仪都会事先规定所需的采血量。目前有两种采血方式,即采集静脉血和采集末梢血。对于静脉血采集而言,通常采集较多的血样,通常不少于1mL(毫升),适合于成年受试者。而对于婴幼儿、儿童或重症患者而言,有时难以采集到静脉血,这种情况下往往采集末梢血,但在该情况是能采集到的血量较少,通常不多于200μL(微升)。
为了防止血液凝固,通常会采用含有抗凝剂的采血管来装载血样。血液由血细胞和血浆构成,由于血细胞和血浆的比重不同,抗凝采血管中的血液静置一段时间后会产生分层,因此在测量前需先将血样充分混匀,否则测量结果会产生较大偏差。目前主要采用将试管往复颠倒的方法实现血样的混匀,这种混匀方式往往仅适用于静脉血样本混匀。这是因为末梢血样本的血量少,流动性差,如果采用往复颠倒的方法进行混匀,末梢血往往会黏附在采血管的管壁,浪费原本就比较少的血样。
除此以外,静脉血样本容器和末梢血样本容器的内腔底部与试管底部的距离通常不同,吸样针在插入样本容器吸样时,需要配合样本容器内腔底部高度,否则吸样针会刺穿末梢血样本容器的内腔底部或导致静脉血样本吸不到血样。前者会在一定程度上损坏吸样针或缩短吸样针的使用寿命,更进一步的,被刺穿内腔底部的末梢血样本容器会发生血样泄露,一方面造成生物污染,另一方面由于血样损失而需要对受试者二次采血。

目前通常采用不同类型的样本容器来装载静脉血样本和末梢血样本,如图1至图7所示。
图1示出第一类样本容器91,其包括管体911和帽体912。管体911中设有用于收纳样本的内腔,管体911的内腔底部911a到管体911底端的距离d1为管体911的管壁厚度。帽体912的至少中部区域由橡胶材料构成。吸样针需要刺破帽体912才能进入第一类样本容器91内腔中吸移样本。由于第一类样本容器91的内腔底部紧靠样本容器底端,在此也可以将第一类样本容器称为低底型样本容器。
图2示出第二类样本容器的一种实施方式。第二类样本容器92包括管体921。管体921中设有用于收纳样本的内腔,管体921的内腔底部921a到管体921底端的距离d2远大于管壁厚度,通常d2大于管体长度的五分之一。在第二类样本容器92的管体921的内腔下方形成一个半开放式的空腔921b,也称为凹部。
如图3所示,第二类样本容器92还可以包括帽体925。帽体925的至少中部区域由橡胶材料构成。更进一步的,帽体925的由橡胶材料构成的中部区域中设有贯通的十字切缝925a,如图4所示。吸样针在不需要刺破帽体925情况下可通过贯通的十字切缝925a轻易进入第二类样本容器92内腔吸移样本。
图5示出第二类样本容器的另一种实施方式。第二类样本容器93包括外管体931和内管体932。内管体932套设在外管体931之内,如图6所示。内管体932和外管体931可以通过过盈配合、螺纹配合、粘接或其他方式连接并固定在一起。内管体932中设有用于收纳样本的内腔,内管体932的内腔底部932a到外管体931底端的距离d3远大于外管体931的管壁厚度,通常d3大于外管体长度的五分之一。第二类样本容器93在内管体932的内腔下形成一个全封闭式的空腔933。
如图7所示,第二类样本容器93也可以包含帽体935,帽体935的结构和材料可以与第二类样本容器92的帽体925相同,在此不再复述。
第二类样本容器92、93的区别是:样本容器92的内腔下形成一个半开放式的空腔921b,而样本容器93的内腔下形成一个全封闭式的空腔933。
由于所述第二类样本容器92、93的内腔底部远离样本容器底端,所以可以称其为高底型样本容器。
第一类样本容器91的内腔容积较大,通常用于容纳样本量较大的静脉血样本,也可以称为常量血样本容器。而第二类样本容器92、93的内腔容积较小,通常用于容纳样本量较少的末梢血样本,也可以称为微量血样本容器。
如开头所提及的,由于常量血样本容器和微量血样本容器的内腔底部与容器底端的距离不同以及静脉血样本与末梢血样本的特性不同,往往需要采用不同的方式进行吸样和混匀,以免导致吸样针和样本容器损坏、无法吸样、检测结果出现偏差等。为了在处理样本容器中的样本之前先识别样本容器的类型,目前通过使用不同的样本架放置不同类型的样本容器,这要求用户在检测之前确保将样本容器放在正确的样本架上,对用户要求高且容易出错。另外,现有技术中通过识别样本容器的底部是否存在 凹部(例如第二类样本容器92的凹部)来判断样本容器的类型,然而该方法不能用于区分第二类样本容器93与第一类样本容器91,适用范围有限。
因此,为了区分装载不同样本或不同样本量的样本容器,本发明第一方面首先提出一种样本分析仪,其通过检测样本容器中的样本量或样本在样本容器中的样本位置来识别样本容器中所装载的样本的类型,由此能够适用于各种不同的样本容器,无需对样本容器的结构提出特殊的要求。即使采用完全相同的样本容器来装载静脉血和末梢血,按照本发明第一方面提出的样本分析仪也能够可靠地区分出样本容器中装载的是静脉血还是末梢血。换言之,按照本发明第一方面提出的样本分析仪是通过检测样本容器中的样本量或样本位置来区分静脉血样本和末梢血样本,而不是通过检测样本容器本身的特殊结构或特殊标记来区分样本容器类型。
如图8至10所示,按照本发明第一方面的样本分析仪1包括样本容器容纳装置90、样本量检测装置7、样本处理装置50以及控制装置30。样本容器容纳装置90设置用于容纳装载样本的样本容器91、92、93。样本量检测装置7设置用于以不接触样本的方式检测样本容器中的样本100的样本量或样本位置。样本处理装置50设置用于对样本容器中的样本进行处理。控制装置30设置用于与样本量检测装置7和样本处理装置50通信连接并且配置用于:从样本量检测装置7获取样本容器的样本信息,所述样本信息包括样本量信息和样本位置信息中的至少一种,以及根据所述样本信息控制样本处理装置50的处理动作或确定样本处理装置50是否实施处理动作。
按照本发明的样本分析仪1例如可以是用于血常规检测的血液样本分析仪或用于制备血涂片的涂片制备装置。在此,血涂片为涂覆有血液样本的玻片。
在本发明实施例中,“样本100的样本位置”可理解为,当样本容器91、92、93放置在样本容器容纳装置90中时,样本100在样本容器中的液面离样本容器容纳装置90的底部的高度,如图20所示s1和s2。
在一些实施例中,为了防止样本分析仪和样本容器被损坏以及提高检测结果的准确性,处理不同样本或不同量的样本需要采用不同的处理方式,因此,控制装置30可以进一步配置用于在根据样本信息控制样本处理装置50的处理动作时执行下列步骤:
如果所述样本信息表明所述样本容器91装载有第一类样本,则控制样本处理装置50用第一处理条件来处理所述样本容器91中的样本;
如果所述样本信息表明所述样本容器92、93装载有第二类样本,则控制样本处理装置50用不同于第一处理条件的第二处理条件来处理所述样本容器92、93中的样本,其中,所述第一类样本和所述第二类样本的区别在于样本量不同和样本位置不同中的至少一种。
在本发明的意义中,第一类样本和第二类样本的区别可以在于样本量不同,即,样本容器91装载有第一量的第一类样本或样本容器92、93装载第二量的第二类样本,第二量不同于、例如小于第一量。备选地,第一类样本和第二类样本的区别也可以在于样本在样本容器中的位置不同,即,第一类样本在样本容器91中的位置为s1,第二类样本在样本容器91中的位置为s2,s2不同于、例如大于s1。当然,第一类样本和第二类样本的区别可以在于样本量不同和样本位置不同,即第一类样本和第二类样本的样本量和样本位置均不同。
在一些实施例中,第一类样本为静脉血样本或常量血样本,第二类样本为末梢血样本或微量血样本。
在一些实施例中,样本处理装置50可以包括具有吸样针61的吸样装置6。相应地,当第一类样本的量大于第二类样本的量时,例如样本容器91(常量血样本容器)装载有第一量样本,而样本容器92、93(微量血样本容器)装载有第二量样本为时,第一处理条件包括使吸样针61下降第一距离(如图20所示,从A下降到C)以采集 样本容器、例如常量血样本容器91中的样本,第二处理条件包括使吸样针61下降第二距离(如图20所示,从A下降到B)以采集样本容器、例如微量血样本容器92、93中的样本,其中,第一距离大于第二距离。
备选的或附加的,第一处理条件包括使吸样针61从样本容器91中吸取第一样本量,第二处理条件包括使吸样针61从样本容器92、93中吸取第二样本量,所述第一样本量大于所述第二样本量。
吸样装置6的一个实施例如图11所示,吸样装置6还包括电机62和63,吸样针61可以在电机62的驱动下沿Y1、Y2方向移动以及在电机63的驱动下沿Z1、Z2方向移动。吸样针61沿Y1、Y2移动至位于样本容器容纳装置90中的样本容器上方,然后沿Z1、Z2方向移动以插入样本容器91的内腔中吸移样本。
进一步地,样本分析仪1还可以包括用于与样本类型或样本容器类型相关联地存储有下移高度信息的存储部件(未示出),控制装置50根据样本量检测装置7的检测结果和存储部件存储的下移高度信息来控制吸样针61下降到样本容器的容腔中。该存储部件例如集成在控制装置50中。此外,样本分析仪1还可以包括对存储部件中的下移高度信息进行设置或更改的设置部件(未示出),控制装置将经由设置部件更改的下移高度信息存储到存储部件中。该设置部件可以是样本分析仪1的显示屏2的组件。例如,显示屏2可以提供如图12所示的设置界面,其中可以分别设置针对第一量样本的下针高度和针对第二量样本的下针高度。
当然,样本分析仪1也可以没有设置部件,而提供一个接受部件,通过接受部件接受样本分析仪1之外的另一装置发送的吸样针下针高度的配置参数。另一装置例如可以是PC机,通过通信接口向样本分析仪1发送吸样针下针高度的配置参数。
在一些实施例中,样本处理装置50可以包括混匀装置,该混匀装置包括彼此独立的第一混匀部件4和第二混匀部件5。相应地,第一处理条件包括用第一混匀部件4对样本容器中的样本进行混匀,第二处理条件包括用第二混匀部件5对样本容器中的样本进行混匀。例如,第一混匀部件4构造为通过摆动的方式对样本容器中的样本进行颠倒混匀,而第二混匀部件5通过旋转的方式对样本容器中的样本进行旋转混匀。换言之,当控制装置30根据样本量检测装置7检测到的样本信息判断出样本容器(例如常量血样本容器91)中的样本为第一类样本、例如静脉血(即血量较大)时,控制第一混匀部件4通过摆动的方式对样本容器中的静脉血进行颠倒混匀;而当控制装置30根据样本量检测装置7检测到的样本信息判断出样本容器(例如微量血样本容器92、93)中的样本为第二类样本、例如末梢血(即血量较小)时,控制第二混匀部件5通过旋转的方式对样本容器中的末梢血进行旋转混匀。
第一混匀部件4的一个实施例如图13所示,第一混匀部件4包括夹爪41和三个电机42、43、44。夹爪41可以在电机42的驱动下沿Z1或Z2方向移动、在电机43的驱动下沿Y1或Y2方向移动以及在电机44的驱动下绕轴沿R1或R2方向摆动。因此,夹爪41在电机42、43的驱动下沿Y1、Y2和Z1、Z2方向移动至位于样本容器容纳装置90中的样本容器、例如第一类样本容器91处并将该样本容器从样本容器容纳装置90夹出,然后通过沿R1、R2方向的摆动对第一类样本容器91中的样本实施颠倒混匀。混匀后,夹爪41在电机42、43的驱动下将已经混匀的样本容器送回至样本容器容纳装置90中。
第二混匀部件5的一个实施例如图14至18所示,第二混匀部件5包括支架51、固定座52以及电机53。支架51用于固定电机53。电机53、例如步进电机作为动力源,可以驱动固定座52顺时针或逆时针转动。固定座52与步进电机53转动连接,固定座52可直接固定在电机53转轴上。
如图15所示,固定座52顶部设置有容置腔521,容置腔521可以放入装有样本的第二类样本容器92或93。
进一步地,第二混匀部件5还包括固定在支架51上的传感器54,传感器54用于检测固定座52是否转动,以及检测固定座52的转速。固定座52下方设置有传感器感应部524以及缺口525。固定座52转动时,传感器感应部524和缺口525会循环交替进入传感器54的感应区,传感器54的感应区会在遮挡态和非遮挡态交替切换,传感器54的输出端对应输出如图15的(a)或(b)所示脉冲。通过检测传感器54是否输出脉冲信号可以判断固定座52是否转动,通过检测传感器54输出的脉冲信号个数可以判断固定座52的转动圈数是否符合预期,即可以通过检测图15所示的脉冲信号的周期T来判断固定座52的转速是否符合预期。
固定座52的内部结构如图17所示。容置腔521入口处直径略大于第二类样本容器92或93的外径。在容置腔521的下方设置有抵接部522,固定座52的底部开设有固定孔523。固定孔523用于与电机53的转轴连接。固定孔523的轴心A1即固定座52的转动轴心。如图17所示,固定孔523的轴心A1与容置腔521的中轴线A2可以不重合,即容置腔521可以相对固定座52的转轴偏心设置,偏心量d4可以处于0mm~5mm的范围内,优选处于1mm~2mm的范围内。
抵接部522的作用在于使得放入容置腔521的样本容器、例如第二类样本容器92或93保持倾斜,如图18所示。此时固定座52的转轴A1与第二类样本容器92或93的中轴线A3相交,轴A1与轴A3的夹角为α,α取值范围可以是0<α≤45°,α优选处于2°至10°的范围内。轴A1与轴A3的交点Q位于样本容器的容腔底部的上方。当固定座52绕轴A1转动时,样本容器中的血样100在离心力作用下被甩离固定座52转轴A1,并沿样本容器92或93的容腔内壁上升。
通过固定座52带动装有样本100的样本容器旋转,通过旋转产生样本100混匀动力。当固定座52旋转时,样本100沿样本容器容腔内壁旋转和爬升;当固定座52停止旋转时,之前爬升的样本回流至样本容器的底部。通过样本100在样本容器中的旋转运动以及样本100在样本容器中的爬升运动和回流运动,实现样本100的混匀。特别是,通过设置抵接部522使得样本容器放入固定座52时保持倾斜,并且使固定座52的转轴A1与样本容器的轴线A3的交点Q位于样本容器的容腔底部的上方,既可以起到防止样本泼洒的作用,又可以起到降低样本100在混匀时粘附在容器内壁上的损耗的作用,这对于采血量少(末梢血)的情况来说是极为重要的,因为过多的挂壁损耗会影响样本混匀后吸样的可靠性。
此外,样本分析仪1还可以设有样本容器搬运装置,设置用于在需要采用第二混匀部件5对样本容器中的样本进行混匀时,将样本容器从样本容器容纳装置90中搬运出来,然后移送到第二混匀部件的固定座52的样本容器固定孔521中,在混匀结束之后再将样本容器搬运回到样本容器容纳装置90中。优选地,第一混匀部件4可以用作样本容器搬运装置。
在一些备选的实施例中,混匀装置也可以包括唯一的混匀部件,该唯一的混匀部件采用不同的混匀条件对不同的样本进行混匀。不同的混匀条件例如可以包括不同的混匀时间。例如,该唯一的混匀部件对装载有静脉血的样本容器进行第一时间的混匀,而对装载有末梢血的样本容器进行第二时间的混匀,第二时间长于第一时间。
在一些实施例中,样本处理装置50还包括样本制备部件(未示出),该样本制备部件用于通过将试剂与样本容器中的样本混合来制备待测试样。相应地,第一处理条件包括用样本制备部件按第一比例混合样本和试剂,第二处理条件包括用样本制备部件按第二比例混合样本和试剂,在第二比例中,试剂占比大于第一比例。
附加的或备选的,第一处理条件包括用样本制备部件按第一倍比率稀释所述待测试样,第二处理条件包括用样本制备部件按大于所述第一倍比率的第二倍比率稀释所述待测试样。
进一步可选的,第一处理条件包括用样本制备部件使试剂和样本反应第一时间, 第二处理条件包括用样本制备部件使试剂和样本反应比第一时间长的第二时间,即静脉血反应时间短,末梢血反应时间长。
在一些实施例中,样本处理装置50包括检测部件(未示出),该检测部件设置用于检测待测试样中的粒子。相应地,第一处理条件包括用检测部件检测第一检测量的待测试样,第二处理条件包括用检测部件检测多于第一检测量的第二检测量的待测试样。这是因为,静脉血试样稀释比小,试样中血细胞占比多,测量统计时间短,故试样的用量小;而末梢血试样稀释比大,试样中血细胞占比小,测量统计时间长,故试样的用量大。
在一些实施例中,样本处理装置50包括用于分析检测部件测得的检测数据的分析部件。第一处理条件包括通过分析部件按照第一分析条件分析检测数据,第二处理条件包括通过分析部件按照不同于第一分析条件的第二分析条件分析检测数据。分析部件例如可以集成到控制装置30中。
在本发明实施例中,样本容器容纳装置构造为能容纳多个样本容器的样本架90。例如,一个样本架90可以用于仅容纳用于装载第一类样本的第一类样本容器91或用于装载第二类样本的第二类样本容器92、93,或者可以用于混合容纳第一类样本容器91和第二类样本容器92、93,如图20所示。即,样本架90构造用于能容纳第一类样本容器和第二类样本容器中的至少一种,第一类样本容器和第二类样本容器分别用于装载不同类型的样本或用于装载不同量的样本。
如图19所示,样本架90上设置有多个固定孔901,每个固定孔901对应设有开口902,开口902用作对样本容器的身份信息进行扫描的扫码窗口。样本架90还设有用于设置样本架标签的标签设置区903,在标签设置区中可粘贴条形码标签、二维码标签、RFID标签等。固定孔901可用于固定第一类样本容器91或第二类样本容器92、93,如图20所示。从图20可以看出,在样本架90中,第二类样本容器92、93(即高底型样本容器)中的样本位置(液面高度)s2要高于第一类样本容器91(即低底型样本容器)中的样本位置(液面高度)s1。
此外,所述样本分析仪还包括设有样本量检测位置(检样位置)P3、混匀位置P1和吸样位置P2的样本分析区P,如图21所示。样本分析仪1还包括与控制装置30通信连接的样本架运送装置3,设置用于在样本分析区P中运送样本架90,使得样本架90上的各个样本容器依次到达样本量检测位置P3、混匀位置P1和吸样位置P2。其中,样本量检测装置7设置用于检测样本架90上处于样本量检测位置P3的样本容器的样本信息。混匀装置4、5设置用于对样本架90上处于混匀位置P1的样本容器中的样本进行混匀。吸样装置6设置用于对样本架90上处于吸样位置P2的样本容器中的样本进行吸样。
如图21和22所示,样本架运送装置3包括样本架支撑部件31、样本架送入部件32、样本架双向运送部件33以及样本架送出部件34。
样本架支撑部件31包括用于放置固定有盛放分析前样本的样本容器的样本架90的分析前样本架存放区311、用于放置若干固定有盛放分析后样本的样本容器的样本架90的分析后样本架存放区312以及位于分析前样本架存放区311和分析后样本架存放区312之间的样本分析区313(P)。在分析前样本架存放区311中设有样本架送入转向区311a,在分析后样本架存放区312中设有样本架送出转向区312a。
样本架送入部件32可以沿Y2方向运送样本架90,样本架双向运送部件33可以沿X1和X2两个方向在样本分析区313(P)中运送样本架90,样本架送出部件34可以沿Y1方向运送样本架90。
当启动样本分析仪1的自动进样测量时,样本架送入部件32首先将存放在分析前样本架存放区311的样本架90沿Y2方向逐个推到样本架送入转向区311a。进入样本架送入转向区311a的样本架90由样本架双向运送部件33继续沿X1方向运送,样 本架双向运送部件33将样本架90中的各个样本容器依次运送至样本分析区313(P)的样本量检测位置P3进行样本信息检测,然后送至混匀位置P1进行混匀,然后送至吸样位置P2进行取样。当样本架90被样本架双向运送部件33运送至样本架送出转向区312a后,样本架送出部件34将样本架90推移到分析后样本架存放区312。
在一些实施例中,样本量检测位置P3可以沿X1方向设置在混匀位置P2上游,也可以与混匀位置P2重合。样本量检测位置P3优选与混匀位置P2重合。当然,样本量检测位置P3也可以沿X1方向设置在混匀位置P2下游。
进一步的,如图9所示,样本分析仪1还可以包括扫码部件9,设置用于获取粘贴在样本容器上的一维条码或二位条码信息。相应地,样本分析区P可以设有扫码位置P4。在样本容器在被运送至样本量检测位置P3或混匀位置P2之前,还可以先在扫码位置P4被扫码部件9扫码。扫码部件9对应扫码位置P4设置。
此外,如图9所示,样本分析仪1还可以包括样本容器旋转部件8。样本容器旋转部件8同样对应扫码位置P4设置。如图23和24所示,样本容器旋转部件8的一对压紧轮81可以在电机82驱动下沿Y1、Y2方向移动,旋转轮83可以在电机84驱动下绕轴转动。当有样本容器位于扫码位置P4时,电机82驱动一对压紧轮81沿Y1方向运动将样本容器推向旋转轮83,使样本容器紧贴旋转轮83外圈。然后,电机84驱动旋转轮83转动,在摩擦力作用下,样本容器跟随旋转轮83转动,当样本容器表面粘贴的条码标签信息101转到朝向扫码部件9时,电机84停止转动,电机82驱动压紧轮81沿Y2方向缩回。旋转轮83外圈可以为橡胶材料,以增大与样本容器间的摩擦。
由以上描述可知,在样本分析仪1的检测分析过程中,样本一般会经历送入、扫码、样本量检测、混匀、吸样、稀释、反应、检测、送出等操作。在样本量检测的操作后,样本被判定为第一量的样本(例如静脉血样本)或小于第一量的第二量的样本(例如末梢血样本)。针对第一量的样本实施下列处理中的至少之一:采用第一混匀部件4混匀该样本;吸样装置6下移第一高度吸移该样本并且吸移第一吸移量的样本;样本制备部件按照第一稀释比稀释该样本,和/或按照第一比例混合该样本和试剂,和/或使该样本和试剂反应第一时间;检测部件检测第一检测量的待测试样;分析部件按照第一分析条件分析检测部件测得的检测数据。而针对第二量的样本实施下列处理中的至少之一:采用第二混匀部件5混匀该样本;吸样装置6下移小于第一高度的第二高度吸移该样本并且吸移少于第一吸样量的第二吸移量的样本;样本制备部件按照大于第一稀释比的第二稀释比稀释该样本,和/或按照第二比例混合该样本和试剂,在第二比例中试剂占比大于第一比例,或/和使该样本和试剂反应比第一时间长的第二时间;检测部件检测多于第一检测量的第二检测量的待测试样;分析部件按照不同于第一分析条件的第二分析条件分析检测部件测得的检测数据。
在本发明实施例中,样本量检测装置7可以是一种能探测样本容器中的样本的样本量或样本位置的传感器。
如图10所示,在一些实施例中,样本量检测装置7可以固定在样本架运送装置3上,例如固定在样本架支撑部件31的样本分析区313(P)中。例如,样本量检测装置7可以对应于样本量检测位置P3设置,使得样本量检测装置7能够对固定于样本架90上的被样本架运送装置3运输至样本量检测位置P3的样本容器91、92、93进行样本量或样本位置检测。
在一些备选的实施例中,如图25所示,样本量检测装置7可以设置在样本分析仪区P之外。此时,样本分析仪2还设有至少能移动的样本容器搬运装置,设置用于将样本架90上处于样本量检测位置P3的样本容器从该样本架90中提出并移动到样本量检测装置7的检测范围内,以便样本量检测装置7能检测所述样本容器中的样本的样本量或样本位置。进一步地,如图26所示,样本容器搬运装置还构造为可摆动 的,样本容器搬运装置夹取样本架90上固定的样本容器沿Z1方向上升,然后带动该样本容器摆动特定角度(该特定角度≤75°),使该样本容器进入样本量检测装置7的检测范围,从而通过样本量检测装置7检测样本容器中的样本量或样本位置。这里的样本容器搬运装置可以是第一混匀部件4,也就是说,第一混匀部件4可以同时用作对第一类样本容器中的样本(静脉血样本)或者第一类样本进行混匀的装置以及将样本架上处于样本量检测位置P3的样本容器搬运至样本量检测装置7的检测范围的装置,以及还可以用作将样本架上的第二类样本容器92或93搬运到第二混匀部件5中的装置,由此能够节省样本分析仪1的空间以及成本。
此时优选的,样本量检测位置P3与混匀位置P1重合,由此能够将样本量检测的流程与样本混匀的流程结合,提高样本分析仪的速度。即,对于样本量检测位置P3与混匀位置P1设置在同一位置且第一混匀部件4用作样本容器搬运装置的情况,控制装置30可以进一步配置用于:
控制样本架运送装置3运送样本架90,使得样本架90上的各个样本容器依次到达混匀位置P1(或者说样本量检测位置P3);
控制第一混匀部件4将样本架90上处于混匀位置P1的样本容器从该样本架90中提出并移动到样本量检测装置7的检测范围内;
从样本量检测装置7中获取样本容器的样本信息;
根据该样本信息控制第一混匀部件4或第二混匀部件5的动作。
进一步地,控制装置30可以配置用于在根据样本信息控制第一混匀部件4或第二混匀部件5的动作时执行下列步骤:
如果所述样本信息表明样本架90上处于混匀位置P1的样本容器中装载有第一类样本,则控制第一混匀部件4对所述样本容器中的样本进行混匀;
如果所述样本信息表明样本架90上处于混匀位置P1的样本容器中装载有第二类样本,则控制第一混匀部件4将所述样本容器移动到第二混匀部件5中,并且然后控制第二混匀部件5对所述样本容器中的样本进行混匀。
在混匀结束后,控制装置30然后控制第一混匀部件4将样本容器搬运回到样本架90中。
可以理解的,也可以设置独立于第一混匀部件4的样本容器搬运装置。
在一种优选的实施例中,样本量检测装置7为电容传感器。
电容传感器的检测原理是:当目标物体靠近电容传感器时,会产生一个变化的电容值△C,电容传感器的有效电容C=C0+△C,其中C0为电容传感器的初始电容值,△C取决于目标物体与电容传感器电极间的距离、目标物体材料介电常数、目标物体的体积等。当目标物体与电容传感器电极间的距离和目标物体材料介电常数相对确定时,△C仅受目标物体的体积影响。通过检测电容传感器△C的大小可以检测检测目标物体的体积。
样本容器91~93的管体通常由玻璃或塑料制成。常温下,玻璃、塑料的相对介电常数在1~5之间,而水的相对介电常数在80左右,血液中水占比约90%,即使样本容器91~93管体表面贴有条码标签,条码标签纸的相对介电常数同样在1~5之间。因此,样本容器91~93中样本的相对介电常数远大于样本容器91~93自身(介电常数越大,电容值越大)。
如图27和图28所示,图27中的第一类样本容器91的中轴线到电容传感器7的检测面71的距离m1与图28中的第二类样本容器92的中轴线到电容传感器7的检测面71的距离m2相当,而样本容器的管体材质的介电常数远小于血液的介电常数,因此电容传感器的△C变化的主要取决于第一类样本容器91或第二类样本容器92(或93)中样本量的多少,故可以通过电容传感器△C的变化量来检测出第一类样本容器91或第二类样本容器92(或93)样本量的多与少。例如,第一类样本容器91是常量 血样本容器,通常装有不少于1ml的血样,而第二类样本容器92或93是微量血样本容器,通常装有不大于200uL的血样。假如电容传感器7探测到第一类样本容器91引起的变化电容值为△C1,探测到第二类样本容器92或93引起的变化电容值为△C2,显然△C1远大于△C2。
为了尽可能避免样本分析仪1中可能存在的金属部件、尤其是可动金属部件的影响,电容传感器7这样固定设置在样本分析仪1中,使得样本分析仪1的金属部件不干扰电容传感器7的检测,或者使得样本分析仪1的金属部件不在电容传感器7的检测范围内。
在一些实施例中,电容传感器7可以是模拟量输出的电容传感器,也可以是数字量输出的电容式接近开关,其中数字量输出的电容式接近开关是优选的。
在一些实施例中,电容传感器7可以为阈值可调的电容传感器,尤其是阈值可调的数字量输出的电容式接近开关。通过设定电容传感器7对于△C的检测阈值,可以间接设置电容传感器7对于第一类样本容器91或第二类样本容器92或93中样本量的检测阈值。例如,可以将电容传感器7的检测阈值设为△Ca,其中△Ca为样本容器中容纳的样本量为V1时所对应的电容值,样本量V1位于第一类样本容器91中规定容纳的样本量和第二类样本容器92(或93)中规定容纳的样本量之间。例如,样本量V1取值为第一类样本容器91中规定容纳的样本量和第二类样本容器92(或93)中规定容纳的样本量之间的中值,比如V1处于0.5mL~0.7mL的范围内。
对于模拟量输出的电容传感器,可以通过检测算法将检测阈值设为△Ca;对于阈值不可调的数字量输出的电容式接近开关,可以通过调整电容式接近开关到样本容器的距离将检测阈值设为△Ca;对于阈值可调的数字量输出的电容式接近开关,可以通过调节旋钮将将检测阈值设为△Ca。
在一些实施例中,电容传感器7这样固定设置在样本分析区P中,使得电容传感器7的检测面71面向样本架90上处于样本量检测位置P3的样本容器并能对该样本容器的样本信息进行检测。
在一些备选的实施例中,如以上描述的,为了更灵活地设置电容传感器7,以减少金属部件、尤其是可动金属部件对其检测的干扰,电容传感器7优选设置在样本分析区P之外。这尤其是能够避免样本架90上的金属部件(例如可能的RFID)对电容传感器7的干扰。
进一步地,电容传感器7可以被设计为具有至少10毫米的检测范围并且这样固定设置在样本分析区P中,使得在电容传感器7的检测期间样本容器的管壁与电容传感器7的检测面71的最小距离处于0.5毫米至10毫米的范围内,优选处于2毫米至5毫米的范围内。由此能够可靠地检测样本容器中的样本量大小。例如,电容传感器7这样设置在样本分析区P中,使得样本架上处于样本容器检测位置P3的样本容器的管壁与电容传感器7的检测面的最小距离处于0.5毫米至10毫米的范围内,优选处于2毫米至5毫米的范围内。
在一些实施例中,电容传感器7以静态检测的方式检测样本容器中的样本量,即,在检测样本容器中的样本量期间,电容传感器与样本容器不发生相对运动。例如当样本架90上的样本容器到达样本量检测位置P3时,电容传感器7即能够对该样本容器中的样本量进行检测,无需将该样本容器从样本架90中移出。
例如,如果采用静态检测的方式检测样本容器中的样本量,为了能够区分不同样本量,电容传感器7这样布置在样本分析仪区P中,使得当样本架90上处于样本容器检测位置P3的样本容器为第一类样本容器(装载有规定的第一量样本)时电容传感器7检测到第一值,以及当样本架90上处于样本容器检测位置P3的样本容器为第二类样本容器(装载有规定的第二量样本)时电容传感器7检测到第二值,第一值明显不同于第二值。
电容传感器7以静态检测的方式探测容纳于样本容器中的样本量的流程如图29所示。
在步骤S101中,电容传感器7检测位于样本量检测位置P3的样本容器中样本所引起的电容变化值△C;
在步骤S102中,将电容变化值△C与预先设定的阈值△Ca比较,若△C≥△Ca,说明样本容器中容纳的样本量≥V1,则跳到步骤S103,判定该样本容器中容纳的是第一量的样本(例如常量样本或静脉血样本);若△C<△Ca,则说明样本容器中容纳的样本量<V1,则跳到步骤S104,判定该样本容器中容纳的是比第一量小的第二量的样本(例如微量样本或末梢血样本)。
对于模拟量输出的电容传感器,△C与△Ca的比较通过控制装置30实现;对于数字量输出的电容式接近开关,△C与△Ca的比较在传感器内部完成,控制装置30只需要获取数字量输出的电容式接近开关的输出电平信号并转化成对应的检测结果即可。
图29所示的流程对于样本量检测位置P3与混匀位P1重合或不重合的情况均可适用。
在一些实施例中,电容传感器7还可以以动态检测的方式检测样本容器中的样本的样本量或样本位置,即,在检测样本量或样本位置期间,电容传感器7固定不动,而样本容器相对于电容传感器7发生相对运动,通过电容传感器7的信号动态变化来检测样本量或样本位置。
例如,电容传感器7固定设置在样本分析区P中,即与样本量检测位置P3对应设置。样本分析仪1包括上述与控制装置30通信连接的样本容器搬运装置4。电容传感器7具有第一检测状态和第二检测状态,在第一检测状态下电容传感器7检测到的电容变化值大于等于预设电容变化阈值,在第二检测状态下电容传感器7检测到的电容变化值小于所述预设电容变化阈值。电容传感器7这样固定设置在样本分析区P中,使得在样本容器搬运装置4将样本架90上处于样本量检测位置P3的样本容器提出的过程中电容传感器7至少从第一检测状态变化到第二检测状态。此时,所述样本信息包括所述第一检测状态的持续时间和/或所述第一检测状态变化到第二检测状态的变化时刻。
动态检测的方式尤其是适用于样本量检测位置P3与混匀位置P1重合以及第一混匀部件4用作样本容器搬运装置的情况。由此能够将电容传感器7的检测过程与混匀装置的混匀过程结合,加快样本分析检测分析速度。
在动态检测的一种实施例中,电容传感器7为检测阈值可调的数字量输出的电容式接近开关。将电容传感器7的检测阈值设为△Cb,其中△Cb为样本容器中容纳的样本量为V2时所对应的电容值,样本量V2小于第二类样本容器92(或93)中规定容纳的样本量,比如V2取40uL。那么当样本容器中的样本量V大于等于V2时,电容式接近开关输出第一电平L1,当样本容器中的样本量V<V2时,电容式接近开关输出不同于第一电平L1的第二电平L2。假定L1为低电平,L2为高电平。在第一混匀部件4的夹爪41夹取样本架90上固定的样本容器并沿Z1方向上升时,电容传感器7检测样本容器中的样本量或样本位置。
如图30所示,当夹爪41夹取第一类样本容器91沿Z1方向上升时,电容传感器7将产生如图31(a)或(b)所示信号。如图32所示,当夹爪41夹取第二类样本容器92(或93)沿Z1方向上升时,电容传感器7将产生如图33(a)或(b)所示信号。其中,t0为夹爪41夹取第一类样本容器91或第二类样本容器92(或93)沿Z1方向上升的起始时刻,t2为夹爪41夹取第一类样本容器91或第二类样本容器92(或93)沿Z1方向上升的结束时刻,t1为第一类样本容器91或第二类样本容器92(或93)中的样本在电容传感器7的检测区域内的有效体积开始小于V2的时刻。图31(a)示 出,在夹爪41夹取第一类样本容器91沿Z1方向上升的起始时刻,第一类样本容器91中的样本未处于电容传感器7的检测范围内;图31(b)示出,夹爪41夹取第一类样本容器91沿Z1方向上升的起始时刻,第一类样本容器91中的部分样本已经处于电容传感器7的检测范围内。图33(a)示出,夹爪41夹取第二类样本容器92(或93)沿Z1方向上升的起始时刻,第二类样本容器92(或93)中的样本未处于电容传感器7的检测范围内;图33(b)示出,夹爪41夹取第二类样本容器92(或93)沿Z1方向上升的起始时刻,第二类样本容器92(或93)中的部分样本已经处于电容传感器7的检测范围内。
第一类样本容器91是常量血样本容器,通常装有不少于1ml的血样,血样在第一类样本容器91中沿Z1、Z2方向的分布高度较大;而第二类样本容器92(或93)是微量血样本容器,通常装有不多于200uL血样,血样在第二类样本容器92(或93)中沿Z1、Z2方向的分布高度较小。因此,在夹爪41夹取第一类样本容器91沿Z1方向上升过程中电容传感器7输出L1电平的持续时间△t1比夹爪41夹取第二类样本容器92(或93)沿Z1方向上升过程中电容传感器7输出L1电平的持续时间△t2的时间要长,即△t1>△t2。
因此,可根据上述t0、t1、t2、△t1、△t2来选取阈值,并按照如图34、图35或图36所示的流程来探测容纳于样本容器中的样本量。
如图34所示,在步骤S201中,第一混匀装置部件4的夹爪41夹取样本容器沿Z1方向上升,在夹爪上升过程中,控制装置30求取电容传感器7输出的L1电平的持续时间△t。其中,电容传感器7输出L1电平表示电容传感器检测出样本容器中有样本。在步骤S202中,控制装置30判断夹爪42是否已经沿Z1上升到达顶部,若判断结果为否,说明夹爪41夹取样本容器沿Z1方向上升动作未结束,需要继续上升;若判断结果为是,说明夹爪41夹取样本容器沿Z1方向上升动作完成,跳转到步骤S203。在步骤S203中,控制装置30判断△t是否大于等于阈值Ta(Ta例如为△t1和△t2的平均值),若判断结果为是,说明样本容器中的样本沿Z1、Z2方向分布高度较大,则跳到步骤S204,判定该样本容器中容纳的是第一量的样本(常量样本或静脉血);若判断结果为否,说明样本容器中的样本沿Z1、Z2方向分布高度较小,则跳到步骤S205,判定该样本容器中容纳的是比第一量小的第二量的样本(微量样本或末梢血)。
如图35所示,在步骤S301,第一混匀装置部件4的夹爪41夹取样本容器沿Z1方向上升,控制装置30记录夹爪41向Z1方向运动的启动时刻t0,其中t0可以为零。在步骤S302中,控制装置30监控电容式接近开关输出电平从L1变为L2的时刻t2,电容式接近开关输出电平从L1变为L2,代表电容式接近开关检测区域内的样本体积V从≥V2变成<V2,即电容式接近开关的检测区域内的样本即将离开检测区域。在步骤S303中,控制装置30计算△t=t1-t0,△t越大,说明样本越靠近样本容器底部。在步骤S304中,控制装置30判断△t是否≥阈值Tb,若判断结果为是,说明样本靠近样本容器底部,则跳到步骤S305,判定该样本容器中容纳的是第一类样本;若判断结果为否,说明样本远离样本容器底部,则跳到步骤S306,判定该样本容器中容纳的第二类样本,其中第一类样本为常量样本或静脉血,第二类样本为微量样本或末梢血。
如图36所示,在步骤S401中,第一混匀装置部件4的夹爪41夹取样本容器沿Z1方向上升,控制装置30记录夹爪41向Z1方向运动的夹爪初始位置s0。在步骤S402中,控制装置30监控电容式接近开关输出电平从L1变为L2时夹爪的位置s1,电容式接近开关输出电平从L1变为L2,代表电容式接近开关检测区域内的样本体积V从≥V2变成<V2,即电容式接近开关检测区域内的样本即将离开检测区域。在步骤S403中,控制装置30计算△s=s1-s0,△s越大,说明样本越靠近样本容器底部。在步骤S404中,控制装置30判断△s是否≥阈值Sb,若判断结果为是,说明样本靠近样本容器底部,则跳到步骤S405,判定该样本容器中容纳的是第一类样本;若判断结果为 否,说明样本远离样本容器底部,则跳到步骤S406,判定该样本容器中容纳的第二类样本,其中第一类样本为常量样本或静脉血,第二类样本为微量样本或末梢血。
在一些备选的实施例中,样本量检测装置7可以是一对对射型光电传感器7a和7b,如图37所示。由于第一类样本容器91和第二类样本容器92(或93)由透明的玻璃或塑料制成,在样本容器内没有血样的区域,对射型光电传感器的发光管发出的光可以透过样本容器被对射型光电传感器的接收管接收,而在样本容器内有血样的区域,发光管发出的光被血样遮挡,无法被接收管接收。在夹爪41夹取样本容器沿Z1上升过程中,同样可以产生如图31、图33所示的信号。然而,在采用对射型光电传感器的情况下不利的是,当样本容器表面粘贴有条码标签时,对射型光电传感器的光难以穿透标签。
在另一些备选的实施例中,样本量检测装置7可以是图像传感器,例如灰度图像传感器或彩色图像传感器,优选为彩色图像传感器。通过图像传感器拍摄样本容器的照片并对该照片进行算法识别,可以获取样本容器中样本量的多少。通过设置合理的阈值,将样本容器中容纳的样本区分为第一量样本和第二量样本。然而同样地,采用图像传感器会受到样本容器表面粘贴的条码标签所影响,当样本容器表面粘贴有条码标签时,图像传感器将无法拍摄到容器中的样本。
在一些实施例中,样本架90可以构造用于仅容纳用于装载第一类样本的样本容器(例如第一类样本容器91)或用于装载第二类样本的样本容器(例如第二类样本容器92或93)。因此可以通过不同的样本架来区分静脉血样本和末梢血样本,从而确定后续的处理方式。然而,在该情况下,如果用户将样本放在错误的样本架上时(比如将静脉血样本放置在末梢血样本架上或将末梢血样本放置在静脉血样本架上时)会带来风险,因此通过样本量检测装置7来检测样本架90上的各个样本容器中的样本的类型,以便确认样本架90上的样本容器没有放错,提高样本分析仪的安全性。
因此,在上述实施例中,为了区分不同的样本架,样本分析仪1还包括用于识别样本架的类型的样本架识别装置9,该样本架识别装置与控制装置30通信连接。控制装置30进一步配置用于从样本架识别装置9获取样本架识别信息,并根据样本量检测装置7测得的样本信息和样本架识别信息来控制样本处理装置50的动作,例如控制混匀装置4、5的动作。
具体地,控制装置30可以配置用于在根据样本量检测装置7测得的样本信息控制样本处理装置50的处理动作和/或确定样本处理装置50是否实施处理动作时执行下列步骤:
从样本架识别装置9获取样本架识别信息;
如果所述样本信息与所述样本架识别信息匹配且均表明所述样本容器装载有第一类样本(第一类样本容器91),则控制所述样本处理装置50用第一处理条件来处理所述样本容器中的样本;
如果所述样本信息与所述样本架识别信息匹配且均表明所述样本容器装载有第二类样本(第二类样本容器92、93),则控制所述样本处理装置50用不同于第一处理条件的第二处理条件来处理所述样本容器中的样本;
如果所述样本信息与所述样本架识别信息不匹配,则控制所述样本处理装置50不对该样本容器中的样本进行处理。
可以理解的,“样本信息与样本架识别信息匹配”表示,根据样本信息可知当前样本容器中装载有第一类样本(或第二类样本),并且根据样本架识别信息可知,当前样本容器所在的样本架是用于容纳用于装载第一类样本(或第二类样本)的样本容器的样本架。“样本信息与样本架识别信息不匹配”表示,根据样本信息可知当前样本容器中装载有第一类样本(或第二类样本),并且根据样本架识别信息可知,当前样本容器所在的样本架是用于容纳用于装载第二类样本(或第一类样本)的样本容器 的样本架。
可以理解的,第一处理条件和第二处理条件在上面已经详细描述,在此不再赘述。
例如,控制装置30可以进一步配置用于在根据样本量检测装置7测得的样本信息控制混匀装置4、5的动作时执行下列步骤:
从样本架识别装置9获取样本架识别信息;
如果所述样本信息与样本架识别信息匹配且均表明样本容器装载有第一类样本,则控制第一混匀部件4对样本容器中的样本进行混匀;
如果所述样本信息与根据样本架识别信息匹配且均表明样本容器装载有第二类样本,则控制第一混匀部件4将样本容器移动到第二混匀部件5中,并且然后控制第二混匀部件5对样本容器中的样本进行混匀;
如果所述样本信息与所述样本架识别信息不匹配,则控制第一混匀部件4直接将样本容器搬运回到样本架90上,而不再对该样本容器中的样本进行混匀。
在此,将容纳第一类样本容器91或者第一类样本(静脉血样本)的样本架称为第一类样本架,将容纳第二类样本容器92(或93)或者第二类样本(末梢血样本)的样本架称为第二类样本架。
第一类样本架和第二类样本架可以在外观上有所区分,例如可以在形状、颜色、标签等方面有所区分。
优选的,第一类样本架和第二类样本架具有颜色区别,比如第一类样本架为米白色,而第二类样本架为粉红色。所述颜色区别可以是样本架的整体颜色的区别,也可以是样本架的局部颜色(比如说样本架的顶面颜色或侧面颜色)的区别。所述样本架颜色可以通过调配注塑材料的颜色实现,也可以是在样本架上粘贴有颜色的标签。
备选的,第一类样本架和第二类样本架还可以通过透明和有色进行区分,比如第一类样本架为米白色,而第二类样本架为透明的。
备选的,第一类样本架和第二类样本架还可以通过形状进行区分,比如第一类样本架和第二类样本架高度设计成不同。
可选的,样本架识别装置可以是颜色或色标传感器,或者是视觉传感器,又或者是光电传感器。通过传感器来检测样本架的颜色、形状等信息来区分当前样本架是第一类样本架还是第二类样本架。
可选的,控制装置30可以进一步配置用于,如果所述样本信息与所述样本架识别信息不匹配,则输出报警提示,例如声音报警或震动报警或在样本分析仪1的显示屏2上显示报警提示。
进一步地,除了输出报警提示之外,控制装置30可以配置用于,在控制第一混匀部件4将该样本容器搬运回到样本架90后控制样本架运送装置3直接将样本架90从样本分析区P中运出。也就是说,当样本架类型和样本类型不匹配时,除了不对当前样本进行处理,还可以将整排样本架推出不做,但继续后面样本架的测量;或者还可以将整排样本架推出不做,并且结束自动进样,即后续的样本架也不处理。
此外,本发明第一方面不仅适用于自动进样的检测流程,而且也适用于封闭进样(也可以称为手动进样)的检测流程。不同于现有技术中需要具有两个固定孔(一个用于放置常量样本容器,另一个用于放置微量样本容器)的封闭进样仓,本发明实施例的样本容器容纳装置可以具有仅一个样本容器容置孔,用于接收手动放入的样本容器。样本容器容纳装置和电容传感器这样设置在样本分析仪1中,使得电容传感器的检测面面向容纳于样本容器容纳装置中的样本容器并能对该样本容器的样本信息进行检测。
在一个实施例中,如图38所示,控制装置30至少包括处理组件31、RAM32、ROM33、通信接口34、存储器36和I/O接口35,其中,处理组件31、RAM32、ROM33、通信接口34、存储器36和I/O接口35通过总线17进行通信。
处理组件31可以为CPU,GPU或其它具有运算能力的芯片。
存储器36中装有操作系统和应用程序等供处理器组件31执行的各种计算机程序及执行该计算机程序所需的数据。另外,在控制过程中,如有需要本地存储的数据,均可以存储到存储器36中。
I/O接口35由比如USB、IEEE1394或RS-232C等串行接口、SCSI、IDE或IEEE1284等并行接口以及由D/A转换器和A/D转换器等组成的模拟信号接口构成。I/O接口35上连接有由键盘、鼠标、触摸屏或其它控制按钮构成的输入设备,用户可以用输入设备直接向控制装置30输入数据。另外,I/O接口35上还可以连接由具有显示功能的显示器,例如:液晶屏、触摸屏、LED显示屏等,控制装置30可以将处理的数据以图像显示数据输出到显示器上进行显示。
通信接口34是可以是目前已知的任意通信协议的接口。通信接口34通过网络与外界进行通信。控制装置30可以通过通信接口34以一定的通信协议,与通过该网连接的任意装置之间传输数据。
此外,如图39所示,本发明第二方面还提供了另一种样本分析仪1',包括样本架、样本架运送装置3'、样本处理装置、样本架识别装置9'、样本识别装置7'以及控制装置30'。样本架设置用于装载多个样本容器,每个样本容器用于装载样本。样本架运送装置3'设置用于在样本分析区P'中运送所述样本架。样本处理装置设置用于对在样本分析区P'中的样本架上的样本容器中的样本进行处理。样本架识别装置9'设置用于识别所述样本架的类型。样本识别装置7'设置用于识别所述样本容器的类型或所述样本容器所装载的样本的类型。
在发明第二方面提供的样本分析仪1'中,控制装置30'配置用于:
如果所述样本架的类型与所述样本容器的类型或所述样本容器所装载的样本的类型匹配,则控制所述样本处理装置对所述样本容器中的样本进行处理;
如果所述样本架的类型与所述样本容器的类型或所述样本容器所装载的样本的类型不匹配,则控制所述样本处理装置不对所述样本容器中的样本进行处理。
在本发明第二方面提供的样本分析仪1'中,通过不同的样本架来区分静脉血样本和末梢血样本,但是可能存在用户将样本放错样本架的风险,因此通过增加样本容器类型或样本类型的检测来确认样本架上放置的样本容器是否正确,通过判断样本架类型与样本容器类型或样本类型是否匹配来决定是否继续后面的操作流程,当样本架类型与样本容器类型或样本类型不匹配时,说明用户放错了样本架,此时仪器不对当前样本进行处理,可选地进行报警提示。由此能够消除由于用户将样本放错样本架所带来的风险。
可以理解的,“样本架类型与样本容器类型或样本类型匹配”表示,当前样本架为用于容纳第一类样本容器(或第二类样本容器)的样本架,当前样本容器为第一类样本容器(或第二类样本容器);或者当前样本架为用于容纳用于装载第一类样本(或第二类样本)的样本容器的样本架,当前样本容器中装载的样本为第一类样本(或第二类样本)。“样本架类型与样本容器类型或样本类型不匹配”表示,当前样本架为用于容纳第一类样本容器(或第二类样本容器)的样本架,当前样本容器为第二类样本容器(或第一类样本容器);或者当前样本架为用于容纳用于装载第一类样本(或第二类样本)的样本容器的样本架,当前样本容器中装载的样本为第二类样本(或第一类样本)。
进一步地,控制装置30'可以配置用于:
如果所述样本架的类型与所述样本容器的类型或所述样本容器所装载的样本的类型不匹配,则输出报警提示;和/或跳过对所述样本容器的后续处理和检测;和/或控制所述样本架运送装置3'直接将所述样本架从所述样本分析区P'中运出。
在一些实施例中,样本识别装置7'布置在样本分析区P'之外。样本分析仪还包 括样本容器搬运装置4',该样本容器搬运装置设置用于将样本架上的样本容器从该样本架中提出并移动到样本识别装置7'的检测范围内,以便样本识别装置7'能识别该样本容器的类型或所述样本容器所装载的样本的类型。
在一些实施例中,样本识别装置7'为电容传感器或对射式光电传感器或图像传感器,如以上所描述的,在此不再赘述。
在一些备选的实施例中,如图39至41所示,样本识别装置为反射式光电传感器并且布置在样本分析区P'之外。优选的,样本识别装置可以是检测距离可调的小光斑的激光反射式传感器。例如,第一混匀部件4'的夹爪41'夹取样本架上固定的第一类样本容器91或第二类样本容器92并沿Z1方向上升,然后所述第一混匀部件4'的夹爪41'夹取第一类样本容器91或第二类样本容器92沿R1方向摆动一定角度,使得第一类样本容器91或第二类样本容器92底部朝向反射式光电传感器7'。
如图40所示,反射式光电传感器7'发出的激光光束由于光斑较小,可以进入第二类样本容器92下部存在一个半开放式的空腔921b,照射在空腔顶部921c上并反射光束,反射式光电传感器7'的检测面到第二类样本容器92反射面的距离为h2。如图41所示,反射式光电传感器7'发出的激光光束照射在容器底部911c上并反射光束,反射式光电传感器7'的检测面到第一类样本容器91反射面的距离为h1。显然有h1<h2。将反射式光电传感器7'的检测距离设为h1和h2的平均值,则反射式光电传感器7'可以检出第一类样本容器91,无法检出第二类样本容器92。如此,通过反射式光电传感器可以区分样本容器是第一类样本容器91还是第二类样本容器92,进而区分样本容器中的样本是第一类样本还是第二类样本。但该方案的局限是无法区分第一类样本容器91和第二类样本容器93。
本发明第二方面提供的样本分析仪1'的其他实施例及其优点,包括但不限于样本架运送装置3'、样本处理装置、样本架识别装置9'、样本识别装置7'、第一处理条件、第二处理条件等的其他细节,可参考上述对本发明第一方面提供的样本分析仪1的描述,在此不再赘述。
本发明第三方面还提供另一种样本分析仪,包括样本架、样本架运送装置、样本处理装置、样本识别装置、样本容器搬运装置以及控制装置。样本架,设置用于装载多个样本容器,每个样本容器用于装载样本。样本架运送装置设置用于在样本分析区中运送所述样本架。样本处理装置设置用于对在所述样本分析区中的样本架上的样本容器中的样本进行处理。样本识别装置设置用于识别所述样本容器的类型或所述样本容器所装载的样本的类型并且设置在所述样本分析区之外。样本容器搬运装置,设置用于将所述样本架上的样本容器从该样本架中提出并移动到所述样本识别装置的检测范围内。控制装置,设置用于,根据所述样本容器的类型或所述样本容器所装载的样本的类型控制所述样本处理装置对该样本容器中的样本的处理动作,和/或确定所述样本处理装置是否实施处理动作。
在样本分析区之外能够更加灵活地布置样本识别装置,使得样本分析仪的其他部分不会干扰样本识别装置的检测。
在一些实施例中,样本识别装置可以为电容传感器或对射式光电传感器或反射式光电传感器或图像传感器。优选地,样本识别装置为电容传感器,如上面对本发明第一方面的描述的那样。
本发明第三方面提供的样本分析仪的其他实施例及其优点可参考上述对本发明第一方面和第二方面提供的样本分析仪的描述,在此不再赘述。
本发明第四方面提供一种样本分析方法,该样本分析方法可应用于本发明第一方面提供的样本分析仪1。如图42所示,该样本分析方法500包括:
步骤S510,控制装置30控制样本架运送装置3在样本分析区P中运送样本架90,所述样本架90上容纳有装载样本的样本容器;
步骤S520,利用样本量检测装置7以不接触样本的方式检测所述样本容器中的样本的样本量或样本位置;
步骤S530,控制装置30从样本量检测装置7获取所述样本容器的样本信息,所述样本信息包括样本量信息和样本位置信息中的至少一种;
步骤S540,控制装置30根据所述样本信息控制样本处理装置50的处理动作或确定样本处理装置50是否实施处理动作。
由此,通过检测样本容器中的样本的样本量或样本位置能够可靠地识别样本容器类型或样本类型,而无需针对样本容器设计特殊的结构,而且能够适应各种不同的样本容器。
在一些实施例中,样本量检测装置7构造为电容传感器7,例如参考以上对本发明第一方面的样本分析仪1的描述。进一步地,电容传感器固定设置在样本分析仪中,使得所述样本分析仪的金属部件不干扰所述电容传感器的检测,或者使得所述样本分析仪的金属部件不在所述电容传感器的检测范围内。
在一些实施例中,如图43所示,步骤S540包括:
步骤S541a,如果所述样本信息表明所述样本容器装载有第一类样本,则控制所述样本处理装置用第一处理条件来处理所述样本容器中的样本;

步骤S542b,如果所述样本信息与所述样本架识别信息匹配且均表明所述样本容器装载有第二类样本,则控制装置控制样本处理装置用不同于第一处理条件的第二处理条件来处理所述样本容器中的样本,其中,所述第一类样本和所述第二类样本的区别在于样本量不同和样本位置不同中的至少一种;
步骤S543b,如果所述样本信息与所述样本架识别信息不匹配,则控制装置控制样本处理装置不对该样本容器中的样本进行处理,可选地输出报警提示。
由此,在使用不同样本架来放置不同样本容器或不同样本的情况下,能够通过对比样本量检测装置与样本架识别装置的信息来识别出用户在样本架上放错样本的错误,以降低样本检测的风险。
在一些实施例中,所述样本处理装置包括彼此独立的第一混匀部件和第二混匀部件,所述第一处理条件包括用所述第一混匀部件对所述样本容器中的样本进行混匀,所述第二处理条件包括用所述第二混匀部件对所述样本容器中的样本进行混匀。
进一步地,所述第一类样本的量大于所述第二类样本的量,所述第一处理条件包括用所述第一混匀部件对所述样本容器中的样本进行颠倒混匀,所述第二处理条件包括用所述第二混匀部件对所述样本容器中的样本进行旋转混匀。

此外备选的或附加的,所述第一处理条件包括使所述吸样针从所述样本容器中吸 取第一样本量,所述第二处理条件包括使所述吸样针从所述样本容器中吸取第二样本量,当所述第一类样本的量大于所述第二类样本的量时,所述第一样本量大于所述第二样本量。
在一些实施例中,样本量检测装置7、尤其是电容传感器7设置在样本分析区P之外。其中,步骤S520包括:控制装置控制样本容器搬运装置将样本架上的样本容器从该样本架中提出并移动到样本量检测装置7、尤其是电容传感器7的检测范围内,以便所述电容传感器检测所述样本容器中的样本的样本量或样本位置。
在一些实施例中,所述样本处理装置包括彼此独立的第一混匀部件和第二混匀部件。其中,步骤S520包括:控制装置控制第一混匀部件作为样本容器搬运装置将样本架上的样本容器从该样本架中提出并移动到样本量检测装置7、尤其是电容传感器7的检测范围内。相应地,步骤S540包括:控制装置根据所述样本信息控制第一混匀部件或第二混匀部件的动作。
具体地,在一些实施例中,所述控制装置根据所述样本信息控制所述第一混匀部件或第二混匀部件的动作,包括:
步骤S541c,如果所述样本信息表明所述样本容器装载有第一类样本,则控制装置控制第一混匀部件对所述样本容器中的样本进行混匀;
步骤S542c,如果所述样本信息表明所述样本容器装载有第二类样本,则控制装置控制第一混匀部件将所述样本容器移动到第二混匀部件中,并且然后控制第二混匀部件对所述样本容器中的样本进行混匀,其中,所述第一类样本容器和所述第二类样本容器分别用于装载不同类型的样本或用于装载不同量的样本。
在另一些实施例中,在步骤S540之前,所述方法还包括:S550,利用样本架识别装置识别所述样本架的类型以获取样本架识别信息。
相应地,步骤S540包括:
步骤S541d,如果所述样本信息与所述样本架识别信息匹配且均表明所述样本容器装载有第一类样本,则控制装置控制第一混匀部件对所述样本容器中的样本进行混匀;
步骤S542d,如果所述样本信息与所述样本架识别信息匹配且均表明所述样本容器装载有第二类样本容器,则控制装置控制第一混匀部件将所述样本容器移动到第二混匀部件中,并且然后控制第二混匀部件对所述样本容器中的样本进行混匀,其中,所述第一类样本容器和所述第二类样本容器分别用于装载不同类型的样本或用于装载不同量的样本;
步骤S543d,如果所述样本信息与所述样本架识别信息不匹配,则控制装置控制第一混匀部件直接将所述样本容器搬运回到所述样本架上,而不再对该样本容器中的样本进行混匀。
本发明第四方面提供的样本分析方法的其他细节及优点可参考以上对本发明第一方面提供的样本分析仪1的描述,在此不再赘述。
本发明第五方面提供了另一种样本分析方法,该样本分析方法可应用于本发明第二方面提供的样本分析仪。如图45所示,该样本分析方法600包括:
步骤S610,控制装置控制样本架运送装置在样本分析区中运送样本架,所述样本架上容纳有装载样本的样本容器;
步骤S620,利用样本架识别装置识别所述样本架的类型;
步骤S630,利用样本识别装置识别所述样本容器的类型或所述样本容器所装载的样本的类型;
步骤S640,如果所述样本架的类型与所述样本容器的类型或所述样本容器所装载的样本的类型匹配,则控制装置控制样本处理装置对所述样本容器中的样本进行处理;
步骤S650,如果所述样本架的类型与所述样本容器的类型或所述样本容器所装载的样本的类型不匹配,则控制装置控制样本处理装置不对所述样本容器中的样本进行处理。
通过样本分析方法600,能够防止由于用户将样本容器放置在了错误类型的样本架上而导致仪器发生故障或者输出错误的结果。
可以理解地,步骤S620和步骤S630的先后顺序不作限定。比如通过扫码部件8作为样本架识别装置获取样本架类型,扫码部件8对应扫码位置P4设置,样本识别装置7对应样本量检测位置P3设置。样本量检测位置P3可以位于扫码位置P4之后、之前或者与扫码位置P4重合。
在样本分析方法600中,控制装置判断样本架类型和该样本架上的样本容器类型或样本类型是否匹配。所谓匹配,是指第一类样本架100上放置的是第一类样本容器91或第一类样本,第二类样本架101上放置的是第二类样本容器92(93)或第二类样本。当样本架类型和该样本架上的样本容器类型或样本类型不匹配时,实施步骤S650,样本分析仪1报错并不对该样本进行处理(例如跳过该样本不处理,但继续处理后面的样本);当样本架类型和该样本架上的样本容器类型或样本类型匹配时,实施步骤S640。
在步骤S640中,控制装置控制混匀装置、吸样装置、样本制备部件、检测部件、分析部件按照该样本架定义的类型对该样本架上样本进行处理。
一个示例性的流程如图46所示。
在步骤S710中,判断当前样本架是第一类样本架还是第二类样本架,若是第一类样本架,则跳到步骤S720;若是第二类样本架,则跳到步骤S730。
在步骤S720中,按照第一处理条件处理该样本架上的样本。其中第一处理条件可以包括下列之一:
采用第一混匀部件4混匀该样本;
使吸样装置6的电机63按照第一电流驱动吸样针61向下移动插入样本容器中,其中,第一电流较大,可为电机63提供较大驱动力,使得吸样针61刺破样本容器的帽体进入样本容器内腔;
使吸样针61吸移第一吸移量的样本;
样本制备部件按照第一稀释比稀释样本,和/或按照第一比例混合样本和试剂,和/或使样本和试剂反应第一时间,以制备待测试样;
检测部件检测第一检测量的待测试样;
分析部件按照第一分析条件分析检测部件测得的检测数据。
在步骤S730中,按照不同于第一处理条件的第二处理条件处理该样本架上的样本。其中第二处理条件相应地可以包括下列之一:
采用第二混匀部件5混匀该样本;
使吸样装置6的电机63按照小于第一电流的第二电流驱动吸样针61向下移动插入样本容器中,其中,第二电流较小,仅能为电机63提供较小驱动力,由于第二类样本容器92或93为无帽体的容器或者有帽体但帽体开了贯通的十字槽,电机63不需要多大的驱动力就可以使吸样针61进入第二类样本容器92或93内腔,当吸样针61向下运动至抵接到第二类样本容器92或93的内腔底部时,吸样针61发生堵转,较小的电流可以避免吸样针或管体发生损伤;
使吸样针61吸移少于第一吸样量的第二吸移量的样本;
样本制备部件按照大于第一稀释比的第二稀释比稀释该样本,和/或按照第二比例混合该样本和试剂,在第二比例中,试剂占比大于第一比例,和/或使样本和试剂反应比第一时间长的第二时间;
检测部件检测多于第一检测量的第二检测量的待测试样;
分析部件按照不同于第一分析条件的第二分析条件分析检测部件测得的检测数据。
此外,在一些实施例中,样本识别装置设置在样本分析区P之外。其中,步骤S630包括:
所述控制装置控制样本容器搬运装置将所述样本架上的样本容器从该样本架中提出并移动到所述样本识别装置的检测范围内,以便所述样本识别装置识别该样本容器的类型。
本发明第五方面提供的样本分析方法的其他细节及优点可参考以上对本发明第一方面和第二方面提供的样本分析仪的描述,在此不再赘述。
本发明第六方面提供了另一种样本分析方法,该样本分析方法可应用于本发明第三方面提供的样本分析仪。如图47所示,该样本分析方法800包括:
步骤S810,控制装置控制样本架运送装置在样本分析区中运送样本架,所述样本架上容纳有装载样本的样本容器;
步骤S820,所述控制装置控制样本容器搬运装置将所述样本架上的样本容器从该样本架中提出并移动到设置于所述样本分析区之外的样本识别装置的检测范围内;
步骤S830,利用样本识别装置识别样本容器的类型或所述样本容器中的样本的类型;
步骤S840,控制装置根据所述样本容器的类型或所述样本容器中的样本的类型控制样本处理装置的处理动作或确定所述样本处理装置是否实施处理动作。
本发明第五方面提供的样本分析方法的其他细节及优点可参考以上对本发明第一方面至第三方面提供的样本分析仪的描述,在此不再赘述。
