Patent ID: 8709345

Claim:
A sample analyzing device, comprising: a plurality of cells each for retaining a reaction solution containing a sample and a reagent mixed together; a cell disk which repeats rotating and stopping with the plurality of cells circumferentially arranged thereon; a drive which drivingly rotates and stops the cell disk; a single measuring unit which irradiates light to the reaction solution in respective cells and obtains a measurement thereof at a single photometry position; a cleaning unit which removes the reaction solution from each of the plurality of cells and which enables cleaning the each cell; a data storage which stores data; a data processing unit which analyzes, based on data obtained by the measuring unit, an amount of a component of the sample; an output unit which outputs a result of analysis by the data processing unit; and a controller which controls the drive so as to enable the drive to repeat rotating and stopping of the cell disk between when the sample and the reagent are mixed and when the reaction solution is removed at the cleaning unit, at least once stopping of the cell disk at the photometry position of the measuring unit so that the measuring unit measures the reaction solution of at least one cell both while the cell disk is rotating and while the cell disk is stopped; wherein the data storage unit stores both a first calibration curve plotted based on data obtained at the measuring unit while the cell disk is stopped, and a second calibration curve plotted based on data obtained at the measuring unit while the cell disk is rotating; and wherein the data processing unit determines an amount of a component of the sample using the first calibration curve and the second calibration curve stored in the data storage unit.
