A protective capis engaged with a latchof a diluent containerso as to fix the diluent containerat a liquid holding position of a diluent container containing section. The engagement is released when the protective capis set to an open position against the engagement so as to expose an inlet. When the protective capis shifted from the open position to a closed position, the protective cappushes the diluent containerinto a liquid discharge position. Thus, it is possible to preserve a diluent for a long period of time and to easily open the diluent containerwithout having to complicate the structure of an analysis apparatus.

Analysis device driving apparatus

Disclosed is an analyzing apparatus including a first drive part () for rotating a turntable () on which an analyzing device is set, a second drive part () selectively engaged with the first drive part () to reciprocate the analyzing device, and a third drive part () for relatively moving the first drive part () and the second drive part () a position where the first and second drive parts are engaged with each other and a position where the first and second drive parts are not engaged with each other. Thus in the mixing and agitation of a small amount of fluid, necessary acceleration can be obtained even in a short time.
