Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A sample analyzer for aspirating and analyzing a sample in a sample tube is disclosed. The sample analyzer comprises: a fluid processing section for aspirating liquid contained in a tube with a pipette and flowing the liquid through a fluid circuit; an obtaining section for obtaining identification information for identifying type of tube to be aspirated from; and a control unit. When identifying that the tube to be aspirated from is a cleaning liquid tube, the control unit controls the fluid processing section to aspirate substantially all the cleaning liquid in the cleaning liquid tube with the pipette and use all or partial amount of the aspirated cleaning liquid to clean the fluid circuit.
