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 3):
The preprocessing apparatus according to  claim 2 , further comprising a preprocessing operation part that is configured to, when the specimen recognition part recognizes that a specimen to be analyzed is a liquid specimen, allow the carrying mechanism to carry the empty preprocessing container set in the preprocessing container setting part to the dispensing position, allow the specimen dispensing part to dispense the specimen to be analyzed into the preprocessing container, and then allow the carrying mechanism to carry the preprocessing container to the preprocessing part to perform predetermined preprocessing, and that is configured to, when the specimen recognition part recognizes that a specimen to be analyzed is a specimen contained in the solid sample, allow the carrying mechanism to carry the preprocessing container containing the solid sample and set in the preprocessing container setting part to the preprocessing part to perform predetermined preprocessing including the extraction processing.
