Abstract:
1. An analyzer for analyzing a sample that reacts with a reagent, the analyzer comprising: an analyzing tool; an infrared sensor; a temperature controlling part; and a measurement apparatus for analyzing a density of a certain component in the sample that reacts with the reagent in the reaction cell, wherein the analyzing tool comprises: a plurality of the reaction cells in which the sample and the reagent react with each other; and a heating element that is heated by electrification, inside the analyzing tool, the infrared sensor is disposed outside the analyzing tool so as to photoreceive an infrared ray that is emitted from the reaction cell, and outputs a signal that is in accordance with an amount of the photoreceived infrared ray to the temperature controlling part, the temperature controlling part adjusts a heat value of the heating element based on the signal from the infrared sensor, the temperature controlling part specifies a temperature of the reaction cell based on the signal that is output from the infrared sensor to the temperature controlling part, and notifies the specified temperature and information for specifying the reaction cell whose temperature is measured to the measurement apparatus, and the measurement apparatus comprising a memory part and a calculating part that are configured to correct a calculated value for the density of a certain component in the sample per each reaction cell based on the temperature and the information that is notified by the temperature controlling part.
