Vitro preparation system using a test tube for automatic label attaching apparatus and test tubes for automatic label attaching apparatus

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To facilitate classification according to an inspection status by providing a transfer conveyer for transferring a test tube with a label applied to outside an apparatus so that it can be driven in both directions of one and the other sides of the apparatus. ;SOLUTION: A test tube housing unit 3, a printing/sticking unit 30 and a transfer conveyer 40 are housed inside a case 2, and two transfer elevators 20,22 placed behind the test tube housing unit 3 are used to transfer a test tube (w) whose direction has been sensed to the printing/sticking unit 30. The printing/sticking unit 30 prints necessary information on a subject based on information from a controller on a label 32 in a direction according to the direction of the test tube (w) for receiving the label using characters, bar codes, etc., and thereafter the label is peeled off from a separating plate 30 and stuck to the test tube (w). Then the transfer conveyer 40 transfers the test tube (w) with the label applied according to attribute information of the subject from the controller in either direction toward a right opening 41 or a left opening.;COPYRIGHT: (C)1998,JPO
