Disclosed is an automatic analyzer that is capable of executing a plurality of different measurement sequences in a sequential, parallel manner, has a check function for avoiding simultaneous mechanical equipment use and interference between the mechanical equipment, incorporates a plurality of different transport mechanism operation schemes for transporting a reaction vessel to the mechanical equipment, and minimizes a decrease in the throughput by choosing an appropriate transport mechanism operation scheme as needed. Before initiating a measurement sequence for a requested analytical test, the automatic analyzer checks for simultaneous use of the mechanical equipment. If it is judged that simultaneous mechanical equipment use would result, the automatic analyzer postpones the start of the requested analytical test. This makes it possible to avoid simultaneous mechanical equipment use and make a proper analysis. Further, the automatic analyzer incorporates a logic that initiates an analytical test irrelevant to simultaneous equipment use prior to the other analytical tests when a plurality of different analytical tests are requested. This makes it possible to make efficient analyses. |
