Abstract
Provided is an automatic analysis technique that prevents liquid contained in a reaction container from locally contacting with liquid added afterward and has less occurrence frequency of equipment malfunction and high performance. An automatic analyzer () includes: a reaction container disk () that holds a reaction container (); a stirring mechanism () that stirs liquid contained in the reaction container () in a non-contact manner; a carrying mechanism () that carries the reaction container () between the reaction container disk () and the stirring mechanism (); a reagent disk () that holds a reagent container (); and a reagent dispensing mechanism () that suctions and discharges a reagent contained in the reagent container (), the stirring mechanism () is provided at a position where the reagent dispensing mechanism () discharges the reagent, and the reagent dispensing mechanism () discharges the reagent, which is sucked from the reagent container (), to the reaction container () installed in the stirring mechanism ().
