MEASURING TIME REDUCING METHOD FOR MEASURING INSTRUMENTS.

摘要

In a measuring instrument adapted to carry out the reaction treatments of a plurality of measuring units in a time-wise duplicated manner, the time required for these measuring units to conduct measuring operations is reduced by determining in advance the length of time in which reaction treatments are to be conducted, dividing pretreatment operations into sections when the sum of the lengths of the time required to carry out a plurality of pretreatment operations by a pretreatment apparatus is larger than a predetermined length of time, and carrying out collectively earlier pretreatment operations among the divisional pretreatment operations prior to a series of treatments. <IMAGE>
