PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a reagent cooling box which is less susceptible to restrictions in terms of structures of automatic analyzers and is capable of suppressing condensation therein.SOLUTION: A compact reagent cooling box 119 for an automatic analyzer with efficient cooling capability is achieved by surrounding the internal space thereof with a triple wall structure, circulating cold fluid (cooling water 122d) inside the triple wall structure, and directly introducing air cooled by heat exchange (cooling air 121b) to the internal space thereof. Further, increasing the pressure in the reagent cooling box 119 to the atmospheric pressure or higher with the cooling air 121b allows cool air to flow out through reagent suction holes 113 to prevent external air from flowing in therethrough, which suppresses condensation inside the reagent cooling box 119. |
