AUTOMATIC ANALYZER

摘要

An automatic analyzer is provided which applies a position detection mechanism to at least either a reagent probe or a reagent container transfer mechanism, thereby performing control on or inhibiting a reset operation (initialization) of either the reagent probe or the reagent container transfer mechanism to prevent the transfer thereof. This allows a reagent transport mechanism attached to the automatic analyzer automatically replacing reagent containers to be configured to move at the same height as those of various units including the reagent probe. The automatic analyzer is thus made small in size and allowed to operate without problems.
