PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an automatic analyzer that can be used for sucking out a specimen even if the shapes of racks differ from each other. SOLUTION: The automatic analyzer includes a shape-information obtaining apparatus 21 which obtains the shape information of the rack 3 including arrangement information of a specimen vessel, a position determining apparatus which transports racks to arrange the specimen vessel 3c at a specimen-sucking position, and a control unit which controls the position determining apparatus to transport racks depending on the shapes of the racks based on the shape information of racks. Further, the automatic analyzer includes a vessel detecting apparatus 23 which detects whether there is the specimen vessel held in the rack, and at the same time, determines a position of the specimen vessel on the transport path as an adjustment reference position.
