REAGENT INFORMATION ACQUISITION DEVICE, REAGENT INFORMATION ACQUISITION METHOD, AND AUTOANALYZER

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a reagent information acquisition device, a reagent information acquisition method and an autoanalyzer, capable of shortening the time required for acquiring information of all the reagent containers stored in a reagent shed.;SOLUTION: This reagent information acquisition device 20 is provided with an omnidirectional camera 22 installed in the reagent shed central part of the autonalyzer of storing detachably the plurality of reagent containers, and for imaging collectively an image of an inside of the reagent shed including the plurality of reagent containers, an image extraction part 25 for extracting the presence of the reagent container stored in the reagent shed from the image picked up by the omnidirectional camera, and an image of an information recording medium bonded onto the reagent container, when the reagent container exists, a decoding part 26 for reading reagent information recorded in each information recording medium, based on the image of each information recording medium extracted by the image extraction part, and a record control part 27 for recording a reagent information data read by the decoding part in a recording part 28, together with the presence of the reagent container in each storage position in the reagent shad. The reagent information acquisition method and the autoanalyzer are disclosed.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
