There is provided a cool box for use in an automatic analyzer. The cool box has a box body and an air circulator. The box body has a receiving space capable of accommodating therein receptacles for analytes or reagents. The circulator has an intake portion, a fan, and an exhaust portion and operates to circulate air in the receiving space by rotation of the fan. The circulator further includes an inhibitor removing agent retaining portion on which a pouch is set. The pouch contains an analysis inhibitor removing agent for removing components (analysis inhibitor) which adversely affect or inhibit analysis of the analytes.

A container containing unit includes a housing and a lid member. The lid member has a probe insertion hole and a droplet guide portion. The droplet guide portion is formed at an edge of an opening end of the probe insertion hole and has a plurality of groove portions. The plurality of groove portions extend from the edge of the opening end to an outside of a locus through which the mouth of the container is moved.

Container containing unit and automatic analysis apparatus

An automatic analyzing apparatus includes a stirring mechanism. The stirring mechanism is provided with: a fixed member fixed to an apparatus body; a motor attached to the fixed member; a drive-side helical gear provided on a drive shaft of the motor; bearings provided to the fixed member with the center shaft held parallel to the drive shaft of the motor; a support member of circular column shape, supported so as to be capable of receding from one side relative to the bearings; a driven-side helical gear fixed to an end of the support member coaxially with respect to the support member such that the driven-side helical gear is fitted together with the drive-side helical gear with the support member recessed into the bearings; and a stirring rod extending coaxially with the support member from the end of the support member opposite to the end provided with the driven-side helical gear.

Automatic analyzing apparatus

The liquid suction tool, liquid supply unit and automated analyzer can reduce an amount of the liquid remaining in the suction conduit while maintaining the strength of the suction conduit. The liquid suction toolhas a rod-like suction conduitand a connecting member. The suction conduitis inserted into the storage bag. A grooveis formed on a side surface of the suction conduitto pass the liquid.
