Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a preprocessing apparatus that makes it possible to highly efficiently analyze specimens held by solid media, such as dried blood spots to be used for newborn mass screening or the like. The preprocessing apparatus includes: a preprocessing container setting part in which a preprocessing container containing a solid sample including a specimen to be analyzed and a solid medium holding the specimen is to be set; a carrying mechanism that carries the preprocessing container set in the preprocessing container setting part; and a preprocessing part that has a port for setting the preprocessing container carried by the carrying mechanism and that is configured to perform preprocessing including extraction processing for extracting the specimen from the solid sample contained in the preprocessing container set in the port.

Claim (Index 2):
The preprocessing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein\n the preprocessing container setting part is configured to allow an empty preprocessing container containing no specimen to be also set therein, the preprocessing apparatus further comprising: a specimen setting part in which a specimen container containing a liquid specimen is to be set; a specimen dispensing part that takes the specimen from the specimen container set in the specimen setting part and dispenses the specimen into the empty preprocessing container placed in a predetermined dispensing position; and a specimen recognition part that checks whether a specimen to be analyzed is a liquid specimen or a specimen contained in the solid sample.
