Abstract:
1. A sample analyzer comprising: a transporting part configured to transport a sample rack configured to hold a first sample and a second sample; a measuring part configured to perform a first measurement on the first sample and a second measurement on the second sample; and a controller; wherein the controller is configured to perform an analysis of a blood platelet aggregation that requires at least a first measurement result and a second measurement result derived respectively from the first measurement of the first sample, preprocessed according to a platelet rich plasma (PRP) protocol, and the second measurement of the second sample, preprocessed according to a platelet poor plasma (PPP) protocol, respectively, the first sample and the second obtained from a same subject, if a measurement of the blood platelet aggregation is requested and the first sample and the second sample are transported to the measuring part, the controller controls the measuring part to perform the first measurement on the first sample and the second measurement on the second sample to derive the first and second measurement results and the controller processes the first and second measurement results to generate an analysis result of the blood platelet aggregation, and the controller is further configured to identify the location of the second sample according to the location of the first sample.
