Abstract:
1. A driving apparatus for an analyzing apparatus in which an analyzing device is set, the analyzing device having a microchannel structure configured to transfer a sample liquid to a measuring chamber located in the microchannel structure by a centrifugal force generated by rotationally driving the analyzing device, the driving apparatus comprising: a first drive part comprising a turntable on which the analyzing device is set, and a first motor configured to rotationally drive the turntable; a second drive part comprising a lever configured to swing in a tangential direction of the turntable and be selectively engaged with the first drive part, and a second motor configured to drive the lever in a swinging manner to reciprocate the analyzing device; a third drive part configured to relatively move the first drive part and the second drive part toward each other to a first position where the first and second drive parts are engaged with each other and a second position where the first and second drive parts are not engaged with each other; and a control section programmed to control timing of activating the second motor, thereby allowing the second motor to drive the lever in a swinging manner when the first and second drive parts are relatively moved to the first position, wherein the control section is programmed to allow the lever to swing at a first swing frequency when the first and second drive parts are relatively moving toward each other to the first position, and to allow the lever to swing at a second swing frequency after the first and second drive parts are engaged with each other in the first position, the first swing frequency being lower than the second swing frequency.
