A method for producing biochemical analysis data includes the steps of selectively binding a substance derived from a living organism and labeled with a labeling substance which generates chemiluminescence emission when it contacts a chemiluminescent substrate with specific binding substances contained in a plurality of absorptive regions formed in a biochemical analysis unit, bringing the labeling substance into contact with a chemiluminescent substrate, thereby causing it to release chemiluminescence emission, producing a first digital signal for each of the plurality of absorptive regions of the biochemical analysis unit based on an analog data obtained by detecting the chemiluminescence emission for a first exposure time using a solid state area sensor, storing the first digital signals in a memory, producing a second digital signal for each of the plurality of absorptive regions of the biochemical analysis unit based on an analog data obtained by detecting the chemiluminescence emission for a second exposure time, storing the second digital signal in the memory, comparing a signal intensity of the second digital signal with a saturated value of the signal intensity, determining a signal intensity of a second digital signal which is lower than the saturated value as biochemical analysis data of the corresponding absorptive region of the biochemical analysis unit to store it in the memory, and adopting a signal intensity of a first digital signal when a signal intensity of a second digital signal is equal to or higher than the saturated value, thereby producing biochemical analysis data.
