A sample measuring device capable of allowing not only one but more than one kind of samples to react with a reagent, and enhancing a reliability in photometric analysis accuracy by positively mixing and agitating the sample and the reagent before the photometric analysis. The device comprises a reagent melting/mixing means, a sample supply chamber positioned on the upstream side of, and communicating with, the reagent melting/mixing means when the sample is allowed to run into the reagent melting/mixing means, and at least one measuring chamber positioned on the downstream side of, and communicating with, the reagent melting/mixing means, wherein the sample supply chamber, the reagent melting/mixing means and the measuring chamber are arranged sequentially from the upstream to the downstream directions of the flow path, with the sample supply chamber positioned on the upstream side on the sample flow by a sample moving means. When a centrifugal machine is used as a reagent moving means and the sample measuring device is installed and used with its imaginary axis kept along the radial direction of the centrifugal machine's rotor, the sample supply chamber can be provided to be positioned on the radially inner side of the rotor in the centrifugal machine.
