<p>A light source 14 radiates light onto a reaction vessel 2 in which a sample is caused to react with a reagent. A transmissive-light receiver 15A, located across from the light source 14 with the reaction vessel 2 located therebetween, measures the intensity of transmissive light 14a passing through the reaction vessel 2. Scattered-light receivers 15B and 15C, located on the side of the transmissive-light receiver 15A, are used to measure the intensities of scattered light 14b and scattered light 14c generated from the reaction vessel 2. Based on the results of the measurement by the scattered-light receivers 15B and 15C, the light intensity of the light source is corrected. This allows correction of the intensity of the light incident on the reaction vessel even when an analysis involves the use of scattered light. The use of such analyzers prevents analysis results from varying from analyzer to analyzer due to inaccurate measurement of the incident light.</p> |
