PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problem that when a reagent bottle pair is changed, measurement of a patient specimen is taken using a reagent for which a control specimen has not been measured.SOLUTION: A control unit according to the present invention makes an analysis module measure a patient specimen within a range of measurable number of times calculated on the basis of the remaining amount of a reagent in a reagent bottle. Then, when the remaining amount of the reagent becomes short of a prescribed amount needed for measuring the patient specimen, the control unit changes the reagent bottle to a new reagent bottle and makes the first measurement carried out by the analysis module using the new reagent bottle to be the measurement of a control specimen.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3 |
