PURPOSE:To perform automatically analysis and to perform quickly operation with less manpower by making a turntable which supports freely oscillatably a processing vessel freely turnable and stoppable, making common use of the turntable as a centrifugal separator, and performing the respective operations for reaction processing according to the preset program. CONSTITUTION:The entire drawn blood sample is stored in a processing vessel 9, and is installed in a support part 5 for the processing vessel. After the vessel is allowed to stand for a specified time, a turntable 1 is rotated so that sera and blood-clot are separated by centrifugal force. Absorbancy is then measured with light projectors and receivers 16, 17 by which the states of the sera such as the degree of clouding in the supernatant serum part, the degree of hemolysis or the like are inspected. A suction and discharge nozzle 1, and pumps 13, 14 are operated to feed the blood together with a diluent into another processing vessel. A reagent feed nozzle 18 and a pump 19 are operated to feed a reagent by each specified amt. and the mixture is handled with a mixer 26, whereafter the entire part of the processing vessel is contained in a thermostat 27 where the reaction is effected under specified temp. conditions. The reacting liquid is sucked from the processing vessel and is passed through a detector 24, by which the values of absorbancy, etc. are measured. |
