An automatic sample analyzer comprising, a plurality of sticks which have a plurality of reagent portions corresponding to different examination items so as to be divided into a plurality of groups of sticks by combinations of the examination items, a plurality of cassettes each having an outlet and a discriminatory mark, the discriminatory mark corresponding to one of the group of the sticks so as to accommodate the one of the group of the sticks, a removal device for automatically taking a desired one of the sticks of the cassettes by using a single removal mechanism.

Automatic sample analyzer

An analyzng device comprises a plate holding table, a shifting mechanism for shifting the plate holding table, bar code reading sensors, and a detecting unit for detecting the signals based on the drops of the solutions in the plate set on the plate holding table located in the plate measurement position. When the data of the bar code read by the bar code reading sensor is not fit for a predetermined measurement condition, the plate holding table is shifted to the plate exhausting position. On the other hand, when the data of the bar code is fit for the predetermined measurement condition, the plate holding table is shifted to the solution pipetting position and when the pipetting of the solutions is finished, the plate holding table is further shifted to the mesurement position. When the concentration of substance in the test solution is completed by the detecting unit, the plate holding table is shifted to the plate exhausting position.
