Abstract
An automatic cuvette loading apparatus for use in an automatic chemical analyzer includes a first slider for moving magazines stocked in a container into a cuvette loading position and for pushing the cuvettes contained in the magazine in a direction perpendicular to a discharging direction, a second slider for pushing a cuvette array situated in the cuvette loading position in the cuvette discharging direction so as to supply the cuvettes to the reaction line one by one, and a third slider for supporting cuvettes in the magazine when the cuvettes are fed in the direction perpendicular to the discharging direction and then the third slider is arranged to be removed from the cuvettes when the cuvettes are loaded into a reaction line of the chemical analyzer. Thus, the cuvettes in the magazine can be loaded without being strongly affected by a frictional force between side walls of the cuvettes and the inner wall of the magazine.
