There is provided an automated analyzer which has plural liquid tanks connected with a dispensing probe and which can efficiently switch the operative liquid tank according to measurement item. The automated analyzer includes a liquid dispenser having a dispensing probe and a pump capable of aspirating and dispensing a liquid from and into an open end of the probe, the liquid dispenser being operative to cause the liquid aspirated in the probe and a probe internal liquid to be dispensed into aliquot receptacles. The automated analyzer also includes; an internal liquid supply device having plural liquid tanks in which probe internal liquids corresponding to measurement items are stored, the supply device being operative to supply a probe internal liquid into the dispensing probe from one of the tanks. The automated analyzer further includes an input section and an operation controller.

Apparatus and method for automated analysis

A measurement device that includes a plurality of lines for conveying a reaction container containing a sample and measures a predetermined material included in the sample while conveying the reaction container by the plurality of lines, wherein the plurality of lines include: a first reaction line for conveying a reaction container at a first convey speed; a second reaction line for conveying a reaction container at a second convey speed; and a measurement line for measuring a predetermined material included in a sample reacted with a reagent within the reaction container in the first reaction line and a sample reacted with a reagent within the reaction container in the second reaction line, the measurement line conveying the reaction containers at a third convey speed that is higher than the first convey speed and the second convey speed.
