Abstract
The object of the invention is to provide an automatic analysis apparatus which is capable of both sterilizing a reagent and suppressing property variations in the reagent. Provided is an automatic analysis apparatus including a reagent vessel which holds a reagent; a suction nozzle which sucks the reagent; an analysis unit which executes an analysis operation by adding a reagent sucked from the reagent vessel to a specimen via the suction nozzle; an ultraviolet ray source which sterilizes a reagent by ultraviolet irradiation; and an electrode or a substrate which supplies electric power to the ultraviolet ray source, in which a heat insulation portion is arranged between a reagent in the suction nozzle and the ultraviolet ray source and the electrode or the substrate, or, it is isolated between a reagent in the suction nozzle and the ultraviolet ray source and the electrode or the substrate.
