Abstract:
1. A cartridge, used by being set in a measuring device comprising a dispensing portion which comprises a pipette tip dispensing a reagent and/or a sample to each well on the cartridge, and automatically measuring a component in a sample, comprising: at least a heat-treatment well configured to perform heat treatment of the sample; a reaction well configured to produce a reaction between the component to be measured in the sample and a material specifically reacting therewith; a reagent-containing well containing a reagent required for measurement; and a diluting solution-containing well containing diluting solution for diluting the sample and/or a washing well containing washing solution for washing a reaction product produced by the reaction, wherein the reagent-containing well, the diluting solution-containing well, and/or the washing well is sealed with a seal, wherein information selected from the group consisting of information on a sample, information on an analyzing item, information on reagent management, and information on a calibration curve used for measurement is recorded on the seal, and wherein the record of the information is configured so as to be broken by breaking the seal with the leading end of the pipette tip when the cartridge is used.
