AUTOMATIC ANALYSIS DEVICE AND DISPENSING METHOD

An abnormality is detected with high accuracy at the time of pipetting a liquid to be subjected to abnormality detection.The automatic analysis device according to the present disclosure includes a pipetting nozzle configured to pipette a fluid, a pressure source configured to generate pressure fluctuation for pipetting the fluid by the pipetting nozzle, a flow path connecting the pipetting nozzle and the pressure source, a pressure sensor configured to measure the pressure in the flow path when the pipetting nozzle pipettes the fluid, a storage unit configured to store time-series data of the pressure measured by the pressure sensor, and a control unit configured to control the driving of the pipetting nozzle and the pressure source, in which the control unit controls the pipetting nozzle and the pressure source to aspirate first air gap, a first liquid, second air gap, and a second liquid in this order into the pipetting nozzle and determines at least one of the aspiration amount of the first air gap and the aspiration amount of the second air gap based on the aspiration amount of the first liquid.
