The present invention relates to an analyzer () including a photometry mechanism () for photometrically analyzing a reagent pad of an analytical tool to which a sample is applied, and a table () including a placing portion () at which the analytical tool is to be placed. The light emitting surface () or the light incident surface () of the light from the light emitting elements () of the photometry mechanism () is cleaned, with a cleaning tool () placed at the table (). The present invention further provides a cleaning tool () for cleaning the photometry mechanism () of the analyzer ().

Analyzer, method for cleaning photometry mechanism in such analyzer, and cleaning tool

The present invention relates to a technique for analyzing the concentration of a specific component in a sample liquid, such as a method for analyzing a sample. The analyzing method includes a first detection step for irradiating light from a light source () onto a reaction system to detect a response from the reaction system () as a first detection result. The reaction system contains a sample liquid and a reagent. The method also includes a second detection step for irradiating light onto a reference board () to detect a response from the reference board as a second detection result. The response from the reference board under light irradiation is dependent on wavelength. The method further includes a calculation step for calculating the concentration of the specific component in the sample liquid based on the first and second detection results.
