Dispensing apparatus and automatic analyzer

摘要

A dispensing apparatus includes a probe that sucks or discharges a liquid; a pressure generating unit that generates a pressure necessary for the probe to suck or discharge the liquid; and a pressure measuring unit that measures the pressure generated by the pressure generating unit and applied to the probe. The apparatus also includes a setting unit that sets a correction coefficient used when correcting a physical amount based on characteristics of the dispensing apparatus using a result of the measuring by the pressure measuring unit; a storage unit that stores therein information including the correction coefficient set by the setting unit; and a correcting unit that corrects the physical amount using the correction coefficient stored in the storage unit.
