PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a scanning device of a coagulation detection sensor, capable of enhancing the stability or the reliability of measurement in automatically measuring the coagulation state of a gel-like product by the coagulation sensor, and to provide a scanning method for the coagulation detection sensor. SOLUTION: A sensor base (10) holds the coagulation detection sensor (11) for measuring the coagulation state of the gel-like product (1) housed in a frame box (16), having an opening part through the opening part of the frame box and a displacement sensor (6) for measuring the distance with the surface (15) to be measured of the gel-like product, exposed through the opening part of the frame box; the sensor base (10) is moved, in a first direction within the plane (14) opposed to the opening part of the frame box, to scan the surface to be measured of the gel-like product in the first direction by the displacement sensor; a first position where the gradient in the surface to be measured of the gel-like product becomes minimum is detected along the first direction, and the sensor base is moved in the first direction so as to arrange the coagulation detection sensor at the first position and is also moved in a second direction that orthogonally crosses the first direction, to make it approach or separate from the gel-like product so that the distance between the coagulation detection sensor and the gel-like product lies in the measurement range of the coagulation detection sensor.
