Analyzer, Method for Specifying Reaction Vessel in Analyzer, and Analytical Apparatus

摘要

The present invention relates to a technique for determining the position of each of reaction vessels ( 56 ) for retaining reaction liquid of a sample and a reagent in analytical instrument (Y) provided with a plurality of reaction vessels ( 56 ). The analytical instrument (Y) includes a reference portion ( 66 ) for enabling the determination of the position of a particular portion of the analytical instrument (Y). The reference portion ( 66 ) is optically detected and utilized as the basis for determining the position of each reaction vessel ( 56 ).
