Analyzing method and apparatus for liquid sample

摘要

An analyzing method and apparatus for a liquid sample are determines in which the value of density or activity for an analysis item is through optical measurement of a reaction solution of a liquid sample and a reagent. When an instruction of measurement for a plurality of analysis items about each sample on a sample disk is inputted, a controller selects for each sample an analysis item in which a time duration from the start of a reaction until the final optical measurement point is the longest, and allots the selected analysis item to a loading reaction vessel while allotting the remaining analysis items to the succeeding reaction vessels in a sequence from an item having a longer time duration. A sample supplying device and a reagent supplying device make necessary operations on the basis of the sequence of arrangement of the analysis items in which the minimum time is obtained, and a reaction solution is optically measured by a fixed photometer. Thereby, the overall analytical processing time can be shortened.
