PURPOSE: To provide an analyzer with a washing means which does not require any conventional detergent, sterilization agent, and antiseptic, has improved washing capability and sterilization capacity, does not affect analysis result, and can be easily rinsed and handled. CONSTITUTION: 'Ion water' is used as washing/sterilization liquid. A well 19 for ion water is provided between a reaction disk 10 and a turntable 14. The ion water performs washing/sterilization of a pipetter 16 itself and at the same time is sucked by the pipetter 16 and is supplied also to a cuvette 12. Wells 29a and 29b for ion water are provided also at reagent storages 28a and 28b, respectively. The ion water washes and sterilizes probes 25a and 25b for reagent themselves and at the same time is sucked by the probes 25a and 25b and is supplied to the cuvette 12. Similarly, pure water for washing and ion water are supplied from the pipetter 16 and the probes 25a and 25b for reagent via a piping system. |
