Abstract:
1. An analysis device, comprising: a specimen disk equipped with specimen containers; a reagent disk equipped with reagent containers; a plurality of first containers; a plurality of second containers; a first disk configured to hold the plurality of first containers used to perform a first purification using an antigen-antibody reaction of a subject component to be measured of a specimen; a second disk equipped with the plurality of second containers used to perform a second purification using a solid-phase extraction of the specimen purified in the first containers of the first disk; a mass spectrometry unit which measures the specimen purified in the plurality of second containers on the second disk; a magnet disposed at a third position of the first disk; a stirring mechanism disposed at a fourth position of the first disk, beyond a range of a magnetic force of the magnet; one or more probes used for dispensing and suctioning; and a controller programmed to control at least the first disk, the second disk, the stirring mechanism, and the dispensing and suctioning by the one or more probes to: provide one of the plurality of first containers onto the first disk at a first position of the first disk, discharge a specimen into the one first container on the first disk at a second position of the first disk, discharge an internal standard substance into the one first container at the third position of the first disk, stir contents of the one first container, using the stirring mechanism, at the fourth position of the first disk, discharge magnetic beads into the one first container at the third position of the first disk, discharge a first washing solution into the one first container at the third position of the first disk, discharge a second washing solution into the one first container at the third position of the first disk, discharge an elute solution into the one first container at the third position of the first disk, retain the antibody magnetic beads against a wall surface of the one first container at the third position of the first disk, and suction and dispose a solution within the one first container at the third position by a probe of the one or more probes, and suction a solution in the one first container and dispense the solution into one of the plurality of second containers of the second disk using the one or more probes, wherein the controller is further programmed to perform the second purification of the solution in the one second container using solid-phase extraction.
