Biochemical analysis method, apparatus and cartridge

摘要

The present invention enables a lower cost, a smaller equipment size, and a simplified operation for analysis. The invention comprises the steps of tilting a container (29) containing a biological sample and ejecting the biological sample within the container (29) onto the central portion of a cartridge (33, Fig. 6) mounted on a turntable (21); rotating the turntable (21), exerting a centrifugal force upon the biological sample on the cartridge (33) and guiding the biological sample evenly into a plurality of reagent containing parts (41) arranged radially in the cartridge (33); and analyzing the biological sample after it is guided into each of the reagent containing parts (41) and mixed with a reagent (42,44) within each of the reagent containing parts (41).
