Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an automated analyzer and a process for simultaneously performing two or more diagnostic assays.SOLUTION: A process for performing an amplification reaction based on a nucleic acid comprises the steps of: (a) separating a target nucleic acid from other materials present in a fluid sample in a separation station installed at a first position on a treatment deck; (b) incubating the separated target nucleic acid with one or more amplification agents in a reaction vessel for a period and under a condition that are sufficient for amplifying the target sequence present in the target nucleic acid in an amplification station installed at a second position on the treatment deck; and (c) transporting the reaction vessel containing the separated target nucleic acid to the amplification station before the step (b).
