Abstract
Provided is an automated analyzer comprising a temperature regulator that can be made more compact in size while maintaining high-precision temperature regulation. In a temperature-regulating unit () of the automated analyzer, a first chemical reservoir () is constituted by a large-diameter spiral-shaped pipe, and a second chemical reservoir () is constituted by a large-diameter chemical reservoir container. The first chemical reservoir (), which is positioned upstream of the second chemical reservoir (), has an internal capacity that is set so as to be greater than the volume of a single discharge of each of syringe pumps (), and the second chemical reservoir () also has an internal capacity (volume) that is set so as to be greater than the volume of a single discharge of each of the respective syringe pumps ().
