Abstract:
1. A sample analyzer which analyzes a sample using a reagent contained in a reagent container, the sample analyzer comprising: at least one measurement unit configured to measure the sample; a reagent storage section including a plurality of reagent holder parts, each of the reagent holder parts including; wherein a cutout resides at a predetermined position on one of the face parts and a protection member resides on the one face part and covers the cut out, and wherein the setting part includes a spring member and a shaft, the setting part is configured to rotate about the shaft under a force applied by the spring member to bring an opening of the reagent container into alignment with an aspiration tube; a plurality of radio wave communication parts, each positioned on each protection member, so as to transmit and receive a radio wave to and from the storage medium of the reagent container through the protection member; and wherein the face parts comprise a conductive material to block radio wave communication paths between the radio wave communication part of each of the reagent holder parts and the storage mediums of the reagent containers in the adjacent reagent holder parts.
