Next, the 31 person ♀ 1307 on the t1 side addressed to the t1 side rotates 180 degrees in the vertical plane, and the injected product component block 305 faces one side. Holds the pipe mount-301. Next, injection lever 3
08 is raised and the injection needle 307 penetrates the rubber cap 302 (Fig. 7.8). Air pump 21 on the sampler side
3 is activated again, and the blood sample in the sample tube is sent to the blood sedimentation tube 105 through the same process as described above. The amount of blood sample injected into the blood sedimentation tube is monitored by a blood injection level detector 309, and when the blood level gradually rises to a predetermined stop level, the blood injection level detector 309 detects that the blood level gradually rises and reaches a predetermined stop level. The pump 213 is stopped and the injection of the blood sample is stopped. As a blood injection level detector, a pair of light source and a photodetector are arranged to sandwich a blood sedimentation tube, and the blockage of the irradiated light from the light source to the photodetector is detected by the rise of blood in the blood sedimentation tube. It's convenient. Injection of the blood sample into the blood sedimentation tube is detected by rotation and passage of the optical detection system 150, the position number of the blood sedimentation tube is stored, and time measurement is started for the blood sedimentation tube. Furthermore, the 10th

The first step of sampling is thus completed. The blood sedimentation tube mounting base 102 of the automatic blood sedimentation meter and the sample tube mounting plate 201 of the sampler are rotated again, and the same operations as in (e) are performed for new blood sedimentation tubes and sample tubes, respectively, and are repeated one after another. During this time, the optical detection system 150 rotates to memorize the position number of the blood sedimentation tube into which the blood sample has been newly injected and to measure time. However, when the optical detection system 150 rotates and approaches the vicinity of the blood sedimentation tube where the blood sample is being injected, it recognizes this and automatically stops the injection, and the injection configuration block 3
05 retreats, the optical detection system 150 starts rotating again.'' Needless to say, it is unconscionable to configure the optical detection system 150 in this manner.
