Sample analyzer and sample analyzing method
First Claim
1. A sample analyzer comprising:
- a reagent container holder for holding a first reagent container accommodating a first reagent and a second reagent container accommodating a second reagent;
a measurement specimen preparer for mixing a sample with at least one of the first reagent and the second reagent, thereby preparing a measurement specimen;
a memory for storing standard curve data corresponding to a reagent to be used by the measurement specimen preparer for preparing a measurement specimen;
a measuring unit for measuring the measurement specimen thereby obtaining measurement data;
a measurement data processing means for processing the measurement data based on the standard curve data, thereby obtaining an analysis result; and
a reagent determination means, when the first reagent and the second reagent are of the same type, for determining a reagent to be used for the measuring between the first reagent and the second reagent, based on information regarding standard curve data stored in the memory.
