Abstract
An immunological analyzing apparatus and method using fine particles bonded with an antigen or an antibody are provided which are capable of obtaining a good analysis result with preferable reproducibility with no effect of carry-over. The immunological apparatus includes plural reagent vessels for containing plural kinds of liquid reagents in which fine particles bonded with an antigen or an antibody are suspended, a stirring vessel for stirring the liquid reagent, a probe for dispensing the liquid reagent, a reaction vessel for mixing and reacting the liquid reagent and a specimen, a measuring device for measuring the reaction in the reaction vessel, and a mechanism for determining as to whether or not the liquid reagent in the reagent vessel is to be stirred prior to dispensing of the liquid reagent in the reagent vessel to the reaction vessel, based on the information regarding the predetermined stirring time interval and the information regarding the carry-over between each of plural kinds of liquid reagents.
