1. An automated analyzer comprising:
a stifling part provided with a stirring bar configured to stir a liquid containing a specimen, causing an adhesion of the liquid on the stirring bar, the adhesion having an adhesion range;
a cleaning part configured to clean the stifling bar; and
a control unit configured to control the stirring part and the cleaning part,
wherein the control unit determines whether an operation of causing the stifling part to stir the liquid containing the specimen in a second cycle subsequent to a first cycle is necessary or not, based on information on measurement schedule of the specimen,
wherein, in response to the control unit having determined that the operation of causing the stifling part to stir the liquid in the second cycle is necessary, the control unit performs a first processing that sets a range of the stifling bar to be cleaned in the second cycle as a first range, and
wherein, in response to the control unit having determined that the operation of causing the stifling part to stir the liquid in the second cycle is not necessary, the control unit performs a second processing that sets a range of the stifling bar to be cleaned in at least one of the first cycle and the second cycle as a second range that is wider than the first range.
