AUTOMATED CHEMICAL ANALYZER

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an automated chemical analyzer for realizing an sampling high in measurement precision or reliability by precisely performing the suction or ejection by preventing the malfunction due to noise in the motion of the suction or ejection when the liquid amount in the sample vessel is small. SOLUTION: The analyzer includes the sample vessel for accommodating inspection sample, and a sampler arranged with the sample vessel. A probe is moved by an arm vertically or horizontally for sucking the inspection sample. In the sampler or outside of the sampler, the arrangement position of the sample vessel for accommodating a minute amount of the inspecting sample is provided. Thereby, if the inspection sample is minute amount, dedicated arrangement position is discriminated. Therefore, the analyzer provides the high measurement precision and the reliability while preventing the malfunction, for example due to the noise. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
