This application is the U.S. national stage application of International Application No. PCT/JP2004/007305 filed on May 21, 2004 designating the United States, the entire content of which is incorporated herein by reference. This application is also based on and claims priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119(a) to Japanese Application No. 2003-144131 filed on May 21, 2003, Japanese Application No. 2003-201933 filed on Jul. 25, 2003 and Japanese Application No. 2003-328879 filed on Sep. 19, 2003, the entire content of each of which is incorporated herein by reference.
The spacer 56 includes a plurality of (e.g., four at angular intervals of 90°) protrusions arrayed circumferentially on the inner surface of the bottom 511. As shown in FIG. 8, the spacer 56 abuts against the tip end of the holder 43 of the photometric unit 4 to prevent the tip end of the holder 43 from contacting the test strip 53.
The opening 472 has a cross-sectional shape that is of a substantially equal shape (similar shape) at any position from the distal end (outer end) to the proximal end (inner end), and has a substantially constant cross-sectional area from the distal end to the proximal end. Specifically, the angle formed between the inner surface of the opening 472 and the abutment portion 471 (the distal end and the proximal end of the abutment portion 471) is essentially 90°.
