Abstract
An automatic analyzer includes: a reagent mounting unitin which a plurality of reagent bottlesare installed when a reagent bottleis loaded into the automatic analyzer; a reagent conveying mechanismincluding a gripper mechanismand a reagent mounting mechanismfor moving the reagent mounting unitbetween an installation position at which an operator installs the reagent bottlein the reagent mounting unitand a position at which the gripper mechanismgrips the reagent bottleIt is thereby possible to achieve saving of a mechanism installation space and reduction of the number of constituent components, automatically carry out an operation from opening of the reagent bottle to loading of the reagent bottle into the reagent disk, and alleviate an operator's burden.
