To save a space and to reduce a burden of a user due to an exchange work of a reagent having large capacitance. A reagent mounting mechanism () including a reagent mounting part () serving as an installation location of containers (, and) for holding a solution such as a reagent is provided in a side surface of an analysis unit () to be drawable. An RFID reader () for reading an RFID tag () installed in the containers (, and) is arranged in a position matching the RFID tag () when the containers (, and) are placed on the reagent mounting part () of the drawn reagent mounting mechanism ().

Automatic analysis device and automatic analysis system

A detergent reservoir reserves detergent for cleaning of a sample probe and includes a cleaning liquid supply port, a detergent supply port, and a waste liquid port When a predetermined condition for execution of cleaning of the detergent reservoir is not satisfied, and a remaining amount of the detergent reserved in the detergent reservoir is a predetermined amount or less, a pump is operated to increase the remaining amount of the detergent to the predetermined amount; and when the predetermined condition for execution of cleaning of the detergent reservoir is satisfied, a solenoid valve is opened to dispose of the detergent in the detergent reservoir. Then, after the detergent in the detergent reservoir is disposed of, the solenoid valve is closed, and a pump is operated to supply cleaning liquid to the detergent reservoir.
