An analysis apparatus measuring specimens and generating analytical results, comprising: a first measurement unit generating first measurement data by measuring a specimen; a second measurement unit generating second measurement data by measuring a specimen, wherein the first measurement unit and the second measurement unit are measurement units of the same type and measure specimens as to same measurement items by employing the same measurement principle, the same type including a first case where the first measurement unit and the second measurement unit measure the specimens as to completely identical measurement items, and a second case where a plurality of measurement items according to the first measurement unit and a plurality of measurement items according to the second measurement unit are partially common; a transporter transporting the specimens to the respective ones of the first and second measurement units (2, 3) by transporting a rack storing specimen containers respectively storing the specimens; a display, common to the first and second measurement units (2, 3), displaying analytical results generated by analyzing the first and second measurement data; a transmitter transmitting said analytical results to a host computer; and a controller (5, 51), common to the first and second measurement units (2, 3), configured to analyze the first and second measurement data and generate the analytical results, wherein the controller (5, 51) includes the display and the transmitter and is configured to control the transporter; wherein the transporter includes a rack transport portion horizontally linearly transporting the rack from the first measurement unit to the second measurement unit and from the second measurement unit to the first measurement unit; wherein the transporter is formed to transport a first specimen container, stored in the rack, storing a first specimen to the first measurement unit and to transport a second specimen container, stored in the rack, storing a second specimen to the second measurement unit, wherein the rack is moved in a forward feeding direction to a first takeout position in a state that the first sample container and the second sample container are stored in the rack, and the first sample container is taken out from the rack by a hand portion of the first measurement unit at the first takeout position, and wherein the rack is moved in a backward feeding direction to a second takeout position in a state that the first sample container is taken out from the rack and the second sample container is stored in the rack without waiting for termination of a specimen measuring operation of the first specimen by the first measurement unit. a first measurement unit generating first measurement data by measuring a specimen; a second measurement unit generating second measurement data by measuring a specimen, wherein the first measurement unit and the second measurement unit are measurement units of the same type and measure specimens as to same measurement items by employing the same measurement principle, the same type including a first case where the first measurement unit and the second measurement unit measure the specimens as to completely identical measurement items, and a second case where a plurality of measurement items according to the first measurement unit and a plurality of measurement items according to the second measurement unit are partially common;
