Title: System and method for confirming state and operation of pipette device handling liquid sample
Inventor: HANSEN TIMOTHY R
IPC: G01N35/10
Filed: 2003-02-13
Abstract: <P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent the ineffective use or unacceptable handling of a liquid sample by removing the front end of a pipette secured by means of a robot device before the front end is put in the sample when the front end is defective by discriminating the state of the front end.  <P>SOLUTION: A pressure transducer measures first air and a processor records the measured result. Then a pipette device inserts the front end of the pipette into a nozzle. Immediately after the front end is inserted into the upper part of the nozzle, pressure transducer measures second air. The processor compares the pressure of the first air with that of the second air and, when the latter is higher than the former, the processor confirms that the front end of the pipette is secured in a nondefective state. When the pressures of the first and second air are substantially equal to each other, namely, when no change is found in the air pressure in the front end of the pipette secured by the front end of a robot arm, the processor performs discharging operation by discriminating that a defective front end is secured.  <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
