Abstract
An automatic analyzing apparatusincludes a chip rackthat stores a pipette chip, a pipetteinto which a specimen is injected, a conveyance unit that conveys the pipetteby parallel translation, a reagent rack, a reaction unit, a detection unit, and a detection block unit. The pipette chip stored by the chip rackhas a planar structure to directly and optically detect the specimen. The chip rackincludes, in a hole that receives the pipette chip, a guide corresponding to the structure of the pipette chip. The pipettesucks or discharges the specimen via the pipette chip mounted onto the tip thereof by a drive of a pump. In the detection unit, a measurement is carried out with the pipette chip arranged so that the plane that receives light is vertical to an optical axis.
