1. An automatic analysis device comprising:
a control unit configured to control:
a specimen container holding unit to accommodate and hold a plurality of specimen containers;
a specimen dispensing mechanism to dispense subject blood plasma alone, normal blood plasma alone, and mixed blood plasma obtained by mixing the subject blood plasma and the normal blood plasma at least at one mixing ratio to adjust a coagulation time of the subject blood plasma;
a reagent dispensing mechanism to dispense a reagent to each of a plurality of reaction containers into which one of the subject blood plasma alone, the normal blood plasma alone, and mixed blood plasma obtained by mixing the subject blood plasma and the normal blood plasma at least at one mixing ratio is dispensed, respectively;
a measurement unit to irradiate the subject blood plasma alone, the normal blood plasma alone, and the mixed blood plasma in the reaction containers to which the reagent has been added with light emitted from a light source, and that measures a plurality of coagulation times, respectively, based on obtained scattered light and/or transmitted light,
the specimen container holding unit to accommodate a vacant specimen container affixed with an identification medium used for specifying the at least one mixing ratio after the mixed blood plasma is prepared; and
the specimen dispensing mechanism to dispense the subject blood plasma and the normal blood plasma into the vacant specimen container to which the identification medium is affixed, and to dispense the prepared mixed blood plasma into one of the plurality of reaction containers.
