<p>Provided are an analytical instrument and an analysis method which can detect an abnormality in stirring. After the completion of a reaction time course, "additional stirring", which is unnecessary to the process of reaction of a reagent with a sample, is conducted. Before and after the additional stirring, an optical property (such as absorbance) of a reaction liquid in a reaction vessel is measured. Abnormality in the stirring of the reagent and the sample within the reaction time course is detected on the basis of comparison between the optical property (such as absorbance) of the reaction liquid in the reaction vessel as determined before the additional stirring and that of the reaction liquid in the reaction vessel after the additional stirring.</p> |
