<p>A reagent vessel (50) has a non-contact type IC tag (503) mounted on the upper surface of the reagent vessel (50). Reagent information on the reagent contained in the reagent vessel (50) is written into the IC tag (503). The reagent vessel (50) is contained in a rotary reagent container (32). A read-out device (39) is arranged on the inner surface of a cover (325) of a reagent container (32). The read-out device (39) is arranged on a movement path of the reagent vessel (50) and at a position in the vicinity of and opposing to the IC tag (503) mounted on the upper surface of the reagent vessel (50). According to reagent information read out from the IC tag (503) on the upper surface of the reagent vessel (50) by the read-out device (39), the reagent contained in the reagent vessel (50) is identified and selected.</p> |
