Abstract
There is provided an automatic analyzer including: a sample pipetting mechanism, reagent pipetting mechanismsA andB, mixing mechanismsA andB, a scattered light photometer, and an absorption photometerall located on a transfer path of reaction cellsarranged circumferentially on a disk-shaped reaction disk, the reaction cellsbeing transferred in the circumferential direction by rotation of the reaction disk. Scattered light intensity and absorbance are controlled to be measured by causing the reaction cellsto move past a scattered light detection position and a transmitted light detection position in the same process of movement, the two positions being established beforehand on the transfer path. This makes it possible to suppress the effects on measurement results of the difference in time between scattered light measurement and absorbance measurement thereby improving measurement accuracy.
