Abstract:
An automatic analyzer comprising;a reaction vessel having a prismatic shape in which a solution specimen is mixed with a reagent to react therewith, a reaction disk which holds a plurality of said reaction vessels thereon, a light source to apply light to said reaction solution, and an analysis unit to analyze light passing through said reaction solution; wherein said automatic analyzer further comprises an agitator to apply ultrasonic waves to said reaction solution and to agitate said reaction solution, and wherein the direction of the ultrasonic waves emitted from said agitator and the direction of the light applied to said reaction solution are deviated from each other to the extent to which the surface exposed to ultrasonic waves on said reaction vessel does not overlap the surface exposed to light and said surfaces of said reaction vessels are located substantially at an angle of 45 degrees relative to a radial direction of said reaction disk.
