Abstract:
1. An automatic analyzer, comprising: reagent disks including a first reagent disk and a second reagent disk, plural reagent containers being arranged on a circumference of each of said first reagent disk and second reagent disk, said plural reagent containers including a first reagent container and second reagent container, said first reagent container receiving a first reagent to be dispensed at a first timing, said second reagent container receiving a second reagent to be dispensed at a second timing or a third timing; a reaction disk arranging plural reaction cells on a circumference thereof; an analysis section for analyzing reactions of samples and reagents received in said reaction cells; a first reagent dispensing probe which sucks said first reagent for said first reagent disk; a second reagent dispensing probe which sucks said second reagent for said second reagent disk; a third reagent dispensing probe which sucks said first reagent for said second reagent disk; a fourth reagent dispensing probe which sucks said first reagent for said first reagent disk; and a controller, the controller configured to: control said first reagent dispensing probe to suck said first reagent in said first reagent container on said first reagent disk, and control said first reagent dispensing probe to inject said first reagent into said reaction cell positioned on a first injection position of said reaction disk in an even number cycle of rotation cycles of said reaction disk; control said second reagent dispensing probe to suck said second reagent in said second reagent container on said second reagent disk, and control said second reagent dispensing probe to inject said second reagent into said reaction cell positioned on a second injection position of said reaction disk in an even number cycle of rotation cycles of said reaction disk; control said third reagent dispensing probe to suck said first reagent in said first reagent container on said second reagent disk, and control said third reagent dispensing probe to inject said first reagent into said reaction cell positioned on the first injection position of said reaction disk in an odd number cycle of rotation cycles of said reaction disk; and control said fourth reagent dispensing probe to suck said second reagent in said second reagent container on said first reagent disk, and control said fourth reagent dispensing probe to inject said second reagent into said reaction cell positioned on the second injection position of said reaction disk in an odd number cycle of rotation cycles of said reaction disk, wherein the first injection position is located between locations where the first reagent probe sucks the first reagent and where the third reagent probe sucks the first reagent, and wherein the second injection position is located between locations where the second reagent probe sucks the second reagent and where the fourth reagent probe sucks the second reagent.
