holding a plurality of test tubes containing unprocessed sample . at first , the immunoanalyzer 1 mixes the sample to be measured with a buffer solution ( r1 reagent ). the immunoanalyzer 1 adds a reagent ( r2 reagent ) containing magnetic particles carrying capture antibody for binding to an antigen contained in the sample to the obtained mixture . the immunoanalyzer 1 attracts the magnetic particles in the mixture by a magnet ( not shown in the drawing ) of the primary bf ( bound free ) separation section 11 and removes the component that has not been bound to the capture antibody when magnetic particles are attracted . then the immunoanalyzer 1 adds a labeling antibody ( r3 reagent ) to the mixture . the labeling antibody is an antibody carrying an enzymatic marker . after the labeling antibody ( r3 reagent ) has been added , the immunoanalyzer 1 attracts the magnetic particles in the mixture by a magnet ( not shown in the drawing ) of the secondary bf ( bound free ) separation section 12 and removes the r3 reagent containing the unreacted labeling antibody from the mixture when the magnetic particles are attracted . the immunoanalyzer 1 then adds a dispersant ( r4 reagent ) and a luminescent substrate ( r5 reagent ), which luminesces by a reaction with the enzymatic marker carried by the labeling antibody to the mixture . the immunoanalyzer 1 then measures the amount of light produced by the reaction between the marker of the labeling antibody and the luminescent substrate . the antigen contained in the sample bound to the labeling antibody can be quantified through this process . the cuvette supplier 10 is configured to accommodate a plurality of cuvettes , and sequentially supplies the cuvettes one by one to the discharge position 1 b where

completed primary bf separation , the cuvette is returned to the reactor 9 by the catcher ( not shown ). a pipette 8 a for aspirating and discharging r3 reagent is attached to the r3 reagent dispensing arm 8 . the r3 reagent dispensing arm 8 uses the pipette 8 a to aspirate the r3 reagent set at the reagent installation section 16 . the r3 reagent dispensing arm 8 also uses the pipette 8

is moved from the reactor 9 to the secondary bf separation section 12 by a catcher ( not shown in the drawing ). secondary bf separation is performed in the secondary bf separation section 12 . the r3

the r2 reagent dispensing arm 7 is positioned above the r2 reagent disposed on the reagent installation section 16 , and aspirates a predetermined amount of r2 reagent using the pipette 7 a . thereafter , the r2 reagent dispensing arm 7 is rotated until the tip of the pipette 7 a is positioned above the cuvette arranged at the cuvette holding position 9 a , and the aspirated r2 reagent is dispensed into the cuvette containing the r1 reagent and sample . in step s 406 , the controller 200 of the measurement section 2 actuates a catcher ( not shown in the drawing ) to move the cuvette

measurement section 2 actuates a catcher ( not shown in the drawing ) to move the cuvette disposed at the primary bf separation section 11 after primary bf separation has been performed to the cuvette holding position 9 a of the reactor 9 . in step s 409 , the controller 200 of the measurement section 2 rotates the r3 reagent dispensing arm 8 until the tip of the pipette 8 a of the r3 reagent dispensing arm 8 is positioned above the r3 reagent disposed on the reagent installation section 16 , and aspirates a predetermined amount of r3 reagent using the pipette 8 a . thereafter , the r3 reagent dispensing arm 8 is rotated until the tip of the pipette 8 a is moved to a position above the cuvette arranged at the cuvette holding position 9 a of the reactor 9 , and the aspirated r3 reagent is dispensed into the cuvette . in step s 410 , the controller 200 of the measurement section 2 actuates a catcher ( not shown in the drawing ) to move the cuvette containing the dispensed r3 reagent from the cuvette holding position 9 a of the reactor 9 to the secondary bf separation section 12 . in step s 411 , the controller 200 of the measurement section 2 performs secondary bf

drawing ) to move the cuvette disposed at the secondary bf separation section 12 after secondary bf separation has been performed to the cuvette holding position 9 a of the reactor 9 . in step s 413 , the controller 200 of the measurement section 2 actuates a catcher ( not shown in the drawing ) to move the cuvette from the cuvette holding position 9 a of the reactor 9 to the r4 / r5 reagent supplier 15 . thereafter , the r4 / r5 reagent supplier 15 is actuated to dispense r4 reagent into the cuvette . in step s 414 , the controller 200 of the measurement section 2 actuates a catcher ( not shown in the drawing ) to move the cuvette disposed at the r4 / r5 reagent supplier 15 to the cuvette holding position 9 a of the reactor 9 . thereafter , the r4 / r5 reagent supplier 15 is

cuvette containing the dispensed r4 and r5 reagents held at the cuvette holding position 9 a of the reactor 9 to the detection section 14 . thereafter , the amount of light produced in the reaction process between the marker of labeling antibody and the luminescent substrate is measured by a photomultiplier tube . the signal corresponding to the measured amount of light is transmitted to the controller 200 , converted to a numerical value and stored in memory . in step s 416 , the measured cuvette is moved from the detection section 14 to the disposal section 17 by a catcher ( not shown in the drawing ), and in the disposal section 17 the sample ( waste liquid ) remaining in the cuvette is aspirated by the aspirating unit , then the empty cuvette is discarded through the disposal hole of the disposal section 17 . the following description pertains to measuring a component in a sample diluted 40 times based on the flow chart shown in fig5 . the immunoanalyzer of the present embodiment measures measurement items such as pic ( plasmin inhibitor complex ) tumor marker , cea ( carcinoembryonic antigen ), afp ( alpha fetoprotein ), infection marker hbsag ( hepatitis type b antigen examination ), hbsab ( hepatitis type b antibody examination ) and the like . these measurement items , and especially for tumor marker , the concentration of the component to be measured is very high in the sample of a positive patient , and the measured values may exceed the range covered by the calibration curve ( over range ). in such cases , the analyte is diluted prior to measurement to ensure the measured value of the analyte is within the range covered by the calibration curve . the flow of the series of diluting and measuring the analyte is described below based on the flow shown in fig5 . note that in the embodiment shown in fig5 steps s 501 through s 506 replace steps s 401 through s 405 of fig4 , and following step s 506 the same operations or processes are performed as in steps s 404 through s 416 of fig4 . therefore , steps s 501 through s 506 specific to the embodiment of fig5 are described below and the steps s 404 through s 416 duplicated in fig4 are omitted for the sake of simplicity . the controller 200 of the measurement section 2 first receives a measurement start signal from the main body 400 of the control device 4 , and in step s 501 the various drive mechanisms of the sample dispensing arm 5 and the like are placed on standby at the origin position , then the cuvette supplier 10 is actuated to deliver a new cuvette ( dilution cuvette ) to the discharging position 1 b of the sample dispensing arm 5 . in step s 502 , the controller 200 of the measurement section 2 rotates the r1 reagent dispensing arm 6 until the tip of the pipette 6 a of the r1 reagent dispensing arm 6 is positioned above the sample diluting fluid disposed on the reagent installation section 16 , and aspirates a predetermined amount ( for example , 195 μl ) of diluting fluid using the pipette 6 a . thereafter , the r1 reagent dispensing arm 6 is rotated until the tip of the pipette 6 a is positioned above the dilution cuvette arranged at the discharging position 1 b , and the aspirated diluting fluid is dispensed into the cuvette . in step s 503 , the controller 200 of the measurement section 2 aspirates the sample in the test tube that has been moved to the sample aspirating position 1 a by the sample transport section 3 using the pipette tip mounted on the pipette end of the sample dispensing arm 5 at the tip installation position . thereafter , the sample dispensing arm 5 is rotated until the pipette tip mounted on the pipette end of the sample dispensing arm 5 is positioned above the dilution cuvette disposed at the discharging position 1 b , and a predetermined amount ( for example 5 μl ) of the aspirated sample is dispensed into the dilution cuvette . thus , the sample is diluted 5 /( 195 + 5 )= 40 times by the diluting fluid . in step s 504 , the controller 200 of the measurement section 2 actuates the cuvette supplier 10 and sets a new cuvette ( measurement cuvette ) at the discharging position 1 b of the sample dispensing arm 5 . note that the measurement cuvette and the dilution cuvette are same kind of cuvette and that both are supplied from the cuvette supplier 10 . although the used dilution cuvette is transported along the same pathway as the measurement cuvette , bf separation , reagent dispensing , and optical measurement processes are fully skipped , and ultimately the dilution cuvette is discarded in the disposal section 17 without optical measurement . in step s 505 , the controller 200 of the measurement section 2 rotates the r1 reagent dispensing arm 6 until the tip of the pipette 6 a of the r1 reagent dispensing arm 6 is positioned above the r1 reagent disposed on the reagent installation section 16 , and aspirates a predetermined amount of r1 reagent using the pipette 6 a . thereafter , the r1 reagent dispensing arm 6 is rotated until the tip of the pipette 6 a is positioned above the measurement cuvette arranged at the discharging position 1 b , and the aspirated r1 reagent is dispensed into the measurement cuvette . then , in step s 506 , the controller 200 of the measurement section 2 aspirates the sample that has been diluted 40 fold within the dilution cuvette using the pipette tip mounted on the pipette end of the sample dispensing arm 5 . thereafter , the sample dispensing arm 5 is rotated until the pipette tip mounted on the pipette end of the sample dispensing arm 5 is positioned above the measurement cuvette disposed at the discharging position 1 b , and a predetermined amount of the aspirated diluted sample is dispensed into the measurement cuvette . after step s 506 , steps s 404 through s 416 are performed and the amount of light is measured by the detection section 14 . the signal corresponding to the measured amount of light is transmitted to the controller 200 , converted to a numerical value and stored in memory . the measurement value ( numerical value ) corresponds to the concentration of the antigen ( component ) contained in the dilution sample . this value is applied to the calibration curve prepared in a manner described later , to obtain the converted concentration . in the present embodiment , a calibration curve is prepared using a plurality of calibration samples containing known concentrations of measurement components prior to measuring the concentration of components in a measurement sample . a calibration curve is prepared for each measurement item . for example , a calibration curve is therefore prepared for the hbsag measurement item using a plurality of calibration samples containing known concentrations of hbsag , and a calibration curve is also prepared for the pic measurement item using a plurality of calibration samples containing known concentrations of pic . correction coefficients are calculated to be used in the concentration calculation when a dilution sample is measured using the calibration curve . the calibration curve and the correction coefficient are stored in the rom 202 of the controller 200 . fig1 shows an example of a calibration curve preparation request screen shown on the display input section 410 . the calibration curve preparation request screen 100 includes an item selection column a 11 , calibrator selection column a 12 , number input column a 13 , diluting measurement number input column a 14 , ok button a 15 , and cancel button a 16 . the calibration curve preparation request screen 100 functions as an interface for receiving an instruction of a calibration curve preparation from the user to the immunoanalyzer 1 , and also functions as an interface for receiving an instruction of a calibration sample diluting measurement from a user to the immunoanalyzer 1 when a number is entered in the diluting measurement number input column a 14 . fig6 shows examples of the flows of the calibration curve preparation and the correction coefficient calculation . the user inputs whether to prepare a calibration curve of a desired measurement item ( whether to perform calibration for any measurement item ) from the item selection column a 11 in the calibration curve preparation request screen 100 of fig1 . the item selection column a 11 is a pull - down menu , and displays a plurality of measurement items in a pull down format by clicking the cursor on the column . the user specifies one measurement item from the list . in the example shown in fig1 , pic is selected as the measurement item . the user then selects the type of calibration sample to prepare the calibration curve from the calibrator selection column a 12 , and checks the check box corresponding to the desired calibration sample . in the example of fig1 , five calibration samples c 0 through c 4 including measurement component of known concentration are selected . note that the concentration ( hereinafter referred to as “ indicated value ”) of the measurement component included in calibration samples c 0 through c 4 is m 0 through m 4 , where m 0 & lt ; m 1 & lt ; m 2 & lt ; m 3 & lt ; m 4 . the number of calibration samples used when preparing a calibration curve is not limited to five , and may be four or less than four , or six or more than six . the indicated values of calibration samples c 0 through c 4 may be input beforehand by the user entering the value through the display input section 410 beforehand , or input beforehand by reading barcodes attached to the calibration samples c 0 through c 4 via a barcode reader that is not shown in the drawing , then storing the information in the controller 200 of the measurement section 2 . the user then inputs the number of measurements for calibration for each of the selected calibration samples c 0 through c 4 from the number input column a 13 . in the example of fig1 , a number is entered to measure each calibration sample one time . the user then choices the calibration sample to be used for diluting measurements among the calibration samples c 0 through c 4 , and determines the number of such measurements . the user enters this information from the diluting measurement number input column a 14 . in the example of fig1 , c 4 is selected as the calibration sample to be used for diluting measurement , and two is entered as the number of diluting measurements . when the above information is entered via the calibration curve preparation request screen 100 and the user selects the ok button a 15 , the input information is stored and calibration begins . when the cancel button a 16 is selected , the entered information is deleted . the user sets the calibration samples c 0 through c 4 in a sample rack and sets the sample rack in the sample transport section 3 before calibration . when the sample rack is set and the ok button a 15 is selected on the calibration curve preparation request screen 100 , the measurement section 2 start the measurement of the calibration sample according to the flow shown in fig6 . in step s 601 , the controller 200 of the measurement section 2 sequentially measures the calibration samples c 0 through c 4 according to the previously described steps s 401 through s 415 ( refer to fig4 ), and obtains the measurement values ( amount of light ) f 0 through f 4 . in the example of fig1 , each calibration sample is measured once since the measurement number of each calibration sample is [ 1 ]. note that each calibration sample also may be measured several times ( for example , three times ) to improve the accuracy of the obtained calibration . in such case the measurement value of each calibration sample is the average value of several measurement values obtained by a plurality of measurements . in step s 602 , the controller 200 of the measurement section 2 prepares a diluted calibration sample of user - specified calibration sample cx ( x is selected from 0 through 4 ) which contains known concentration ( referred as mx ). the user - specified calibration sample cx is diluted 40 times . measurements according to steps s 501 through s 506 and steps s 404 through s 415 ( refer to fig5 ) are performed , and the measurement value fx ′ is obtained and stored in memory . since c 4 is selected as the calibration sample to be used for diluting measurement in the example of fig1 , a diluted calibration sample is prepared by diluting c 4 by 40 times and measurement is performed on it . although steps s 601 and s 602 are listed as separate steps in the drawing , in the actual measurement flow , step s 602 is performed consecutively to the measurement of the calibration sample corresponding to step s 601 . for example , if the calibration sample c 3 is specified for diluting measurement , the diluting measurement of c 3 is performed following the undiluted measurement of c 3 in step s 601 , and thereafter the measurement of c 4 begins . in step s 603 , the controller 200 of the measurement section 2 reads the stored indicated values m 0 through m 4 and prepares the calibration curve such as shown in fig7 from the read indicated values m 0 through m 4 and the measurement values f 0 through f 4 obtained in step s 601 , then stores the prepared calibration curve together with the lot number of the calibration sample used to prepare the calibration curve in the rom 202 of the controller 200 . to facilitate understanding , in the example shown in fig7 , the intersections of the known concentration m and the measured value f are plotted on a straight line , however in an actual case , the plurality of intersections may not be linear . therefore , approximate algorithms like as the least squares method or the like is used to determine the regressive line and regressive curve as the calibration curve . in step s 604 , the controller 200 of the measurement section 2 applies the measurement value fx ′ measured in step s 602 to the calibration curve prepared in step s 603 to obtain the converted concentration mx ′. when the diluting measurements of a calibration sample have been performed twice or more , the converted concentration mx ′ is calculated as the average value of the plurality of converted concentration values . in step s 605 , the controller 200 of the measurement section 2 reads the indicated value mx stored in correspondence with the diluting measurement calibration sample cx , calculates the correction coefficient r = mx / mx ′ as the concentration ratio from the read indicated value mx and the converted concentration mx ′ obtained in step s 604 , and stores the calculated correction coefficient r and the prepared calibration curve in the rom 202 of the controller 200 in step s 606 . the calculation of the correction coefficient r is illustrated by way of example pertaining to the obtained measurement values shown in table 1 . in this example , the indicated value of the calibration sample c 4 is 1 . 2 , and since the average value of the converted concentration values of the diluted calibration sample c 4 is 0 . 0314 , the dilution correction coefficient r is 38 . 21 according to the following equation . in step s 607 , the display input section 410 displays a calibration result screen 300 to show the correction coefficient r . fig1 shows a calibration result screen 300 that appears on the display input section 410 . the calibration result screen 300 has a correction coefficient display column b 11 where the correction coefficient r calculated in step s 605 is displayed . in the example of table 1 , the dilution correction coefficient r is 38 . 21 when the dilution ratio is set at 40 times , hence , in such case the error is 4 . 3 % relative to expected value of 40 . if the error from the dilution correction coefficient r displayed in the correction coefficient display column b 11 is calculated and the error is within the acceptable range , the user selects the validate button b 12 on the screen 300 to validate ( approve ) the calibration curve and the correction coefficient r . on the other hand , when the dilution ratio is 40 times and the correction coefficient r is , for example , 30 , there is an error of 25 % relative to the expected value 40 . in this case several causes should be considered , such as an error due to the quantifying accuracy of the pipette 5 a of the sample dispensing arm 5 of the measurement section 2 or from the quantifying accuracy of the pipette 6 a of the r1 reagent dispensing arm 6 . or there may be a problem in the diluting ability of the sample diluting fluid , hence , affinity of the sample diluting fluid and the reagent r1 may not be so good that the dilution linearity is lost . these factors can be mitigated by the user readjusting the dispensing mechanisms to increase the quantifying accuracy , or replacing the sample diluting fluid . according to the above embodiment , the user can check whether the measurement section 2 is performing the desired dilution accurately by confirming whether the dilution correction coefficient r is within the desired range on the calibration result screen 300 . obtaining the concentration of a diluted sample using the calibration curve and correction coefficient determined according to the flow shown in fig6 is described below referring to the flow chart of fig8 . note that in the description of fig8 the correction coefficient r is the correction coefficient determined at a dilution ratio of 40 , and the dilution ratio of the sample is also 40 . first , in step s 701 , the controller 200 of the measurement section 2 dilutes a sample by 40 times to prepare a diluted sample according to steps s 501 through s 506 and performs a measurement on the diluted sample according to steps s 404 through s 415 to obtain the measurement value ft . in step s 702 , the controller 200 of the measurement section 2 applies the measured value ft obtained in step s 701 to the calibration curve prepared in step s 603 and stored in the rom 202 of the controller 200 to acquire the converted concentration mt . in step s 703 , the controller 200 of the measurement section 2 calculates the concentration mt 0 by multiplying the converted concentration mt obtained in step s 702 by the correction coefficient r calculated and stored in the rom 202 of the controller 200 in step s 605 . in step s 704 , the controller 200 of the measurement section 2 transmits the calculated concentration mt 0 to the control device 4 , and the main body 400 of the control device 4 shows the received result ( concentration mt 0 ) on the display input section 410 . fig9 shows a partial example of the display on the display input section 410 . the result ( concentration ) of each measurement item is displayed in the measurement result column . when the sample has been diluted and measured , the dilution ratio is displayed in the dilution ratio column . [ 1 / 40 ] shows that the sample was diluted by 40 times . and [ 1 / 1 ] shows that the sample was not diluted . when a diluting measurement has been performed , the dilution correction column shows whether a concentration calculation has been performed using the correction coefficient r or modified correction coefficient r ′ ( described later ). mark is displayed when concentration calculation has been performed using the correction coefficient r or the modified correction coefficient r ′, and the column remains blank when concentration calculation has not been performed using the correction coefficient r or the modified correction coefficient r ′. whether the concentration calculation is performed using the correction coefficient r or the modified correction coefficient r ′ can be specified by the user for each measurement item in a screen ( not shown in the drawings ) used to specify the start of a sample measurement . according to the above embodiment , the user can check whether the measurement section 2 is performing dilution with the desired dilution accuracy by the user confirming whether the dilution correction coefficient r is displayed on the calibration result screen 300 with the post dilution concentration and indicated value as comparative results , and that the dilution correction coefficient r is within the desired range . an accurate sample concentration can be determined by performing the diluting measurement of the sample and confirming the dilution accuracy . note that the present invention is not limited to the above described embodiment and may be variously modified insofar as such modification are within the scope of the claims . in the above embodiment , the dilution ratio ( m 1 ) of a sample to be measured and the dilution ration ( m 2 ) of the calibration sample used for determining the dilution correction coefficient r is same as 40 times . even if the dilution ratios of m 1 and m 2 are different , the converted concentration mt 0 of the sample may be calculate as shown below . the concentration mt 0 can be calculated by multiplying the converted concentration mt by the modified correction coefficient r ′ that derives from the correction coefficient r . the modified correction coefficient r ′ may be a coefficient obtained by , multiplying the dilution correction coefficient r by m 1 / m 2 . for example , when the calibration sample dilution ratio ( m 2 ) is 40 and the sample dilution ratio ( m 1 ) is 80 , m 1 / m 2 is 80 / 40 = 2 . then , the modified correction coefficient r ′ is obtained by doubling the correction coefficient r . when the sample dilution ratio is m 2 × m 2 , the modified correction coefficient r ′ is obtained by squaring the correction coefficient r ( r 2 ). for example , when the calibration sample dilution ratio is 40 and the sample dilution ratio is 1600 , the square of the dilution correction coefficient r is used as the modified correction coefficient r ′. in the above embodiment the dilution accuracy is evaluated by the user comparing the diluting measurement ratio and the displayed dilution correction coefficient r when the dilution correction coefficient r is shown in the calibration result screen 300 , however , the present invention is not limited to this method . for example , when the calibration sample c 4 indicated value is 1 . 2 and the average value of the concentration conversion value is calculated as 0 . 0314 for the diluted calibration sample c 4 , these values may be displayed in comparable manner . furthermore , the controller 200 may be configured to determine whether the ratio of these values exceeds a predetermined value ( for example , the set dilution ratio ), and displays the determination result . not only the dilution correction coefficient r , but also the dilution ratio can be displayed in calibration result screen 300 . in a further modification , the dilution correction coefficient r is calculated and the error between the dilution correction coefficient r and the dilution ratio is calculated and displayed on the calibration result screen 300 . in yet another modification , when the calculated error is outside a predetermined range , a warning is shown on the screen , and an audible sound is output to alert the user . although the correction coefficient is calculated using one calibration sample selected by the user from among the plurality of calibration samples used to prepare the calibration curves in the above embodiment , the correction coefficient also may be determined for two or more calibration samples . for example , when the dilution measurements are performed on the calibration samples c 1 through c 3 , the correction coefficients r1 , r2 , and r3 are determined as [ 32 ], [ 35 ], and [ 34 ] respectively . and the dilution ratio is 40 . in this case , [ 33 . 7 ] is calculated as the average value of [ 32 ], [ 35 ], and [ 34 ]. this value is set as the correction coefficient r for diluting measurements where the dilution ratio is 40 . in another case , for example , a sample is diluted and measured , and the converted concentration value is between the known concentration ml of the calibration sample c 1 and the known concentration m 2 of the calibration sample c 2 when the measurement value is applied to the calibration curve . in this case , the average value of the correction coefficient of the calibration sample c 1 [ 32 ] and the correction coefficient of the calibration sample c 2 [ 35 ] is 33 . 5 and this value is set as the correction value . or the correction coefficient [ 32 ] is used when the converted concentration value is near m 1 , whereas the correction coefficient [ 35 ] is used when the converted concentration value is near m 2 . although the correction coefficient is determined using one calibration sample selected among the calibration samples c 1 through c 4 used to prepare the calibration curve in the above embodiment , the present invention is not limited to this arrangement inasmuch as the correction coefficient also may be determined using a special calibration sample c 5 for determining a correction coefficient . although the correction coefficient obtained from measuring the diluted calibration sample is stored in the memory section rom 202 in the above embodiment , the correction coefficient not always have to be determined and stored in the memory . the concentrations of components contained in the sample can be calculated on the basis of a first concentration of a diluted sample and a known concentration of a calibration sample , and a second concentration of a diluted calibration sample . that is , when the dilution ratio of the sample is designated m 1 and the dilution ratio of the calibration sample is designated m 2 , the concentration of the component contained in the sample can be calculated as [ the first concentration ]×( known concentration of calibration sample / second concentration )×( m 1 / m 2 ). although the above embodiment is described only in terms of using the predetermined correction coefficient r to determine the concentration of a sample , a mode for calculating the dilution ratio by multiplication using a conventional method where the dilution ratio is used on behalf of the correction coefficient , and a mode for calculating using a correction coefficient may be selectable . in this case , which mode was used to calculate the concentration is preferably displayed in an identifiable manner on the measurement result display screen as in fig9 . although the above embodiment pertains to an immunoanalyzer that examines various items such as hepatitis type b , hepatitis type c , tumor marker , and thyroid hormone using a sample such a blood as an example of a sample analyzer , the present invention is not limited to this example inasmuch as the invention is applicable diluting measurement of samples in apparatuses for measuring the concentrations of components in the sample using a calibration curve .
