PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a box-like reagent vessel having both satisfactory space efficiency when mounted on an automatic analyzer and shape characteristics which improves efficiency in linear rocking agitation. SOLUTION: The approximately box-like reagent vessel 10 for housing, in a rocking state, a reagent to be dispensed to a prescribed plate for determining particle coagulation comprises primary wall surfaces (an upper surface 1; side surfaces 2a, 2b, 3a, and 3b, and a bottom surface 4) and a tubular opening part 5 as a suction opening of the reagent protruded from the approximately rectangular upper surface 1. Both corner parts from the vicinities of the lower ends of the side surfaces 3a and 3b, which continue downward from the short sides of the upper surface 1, to bottom end corner parts 6 and 7 are formed into curved surfaces having a prescribed curvature R. The reagent vessel 10 has an effective aspect ratio in a horizontal cross-sectional shape for agitating a liquid as a whole even when the amount of movement of the liquid increases in agitation, and is operated in such a way as to be rocked longitudinally.
