AUTOMATIC ANALYZER PROVIDED WITH LIQUID LEVEL DETECTING FUNCTION

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To stably detect a liquid level with high sensitiveness without respect to a sort of container by detecting a liquid level in a sample container and switchingly arranging a conductive member arranged according to the sort of the sample container. SOLUTION: A sampling arm 2 in a sampling mechanism 1 moves upward and downward and turns rotationally, and using a probe 105 made of a conductive plastic member and installed to the sampling arm 2, a sample 7 in a sample container 101 arranged on a laterally turning sampling disc 102 is sucked so as to be dispensed into a reaction container 106. A sample container height detection unit 150 is provided with a function for automatically determining a sort of the sample container 101. A reagent dispensing probe 110 performs a reagent sucking/discharging action according to an action of a reagent syringe pump 111. analysis items to be analyzed for each sample M inputted from a keyboard 121 or an inputting device such as a CRT 118 screen. An action of each unit is controlled by means of a computer 103.
