Automatic analyzer

An automatic analyzer, comprising:

• a reaction container which contains reaction solution therein;
• a light source which emits light to be transmitted through the reaction solution;
• a spectral detector which measures the light transmitted through the reaction solution;
• a memory which stores light measurement data measured by the spectral detector;
• and
• a CPU which calculates the light measurement data stored in the memory to obtain a light intensity, wherein
• the spectral detector measures the light over an entirety of an area from one end to the other end of the reaction container at a portion where the reaction solution reserves, the memory stores the light measurement data measured by the spectral detector, and light measurement data in an area where the reaction solution exists is obtained from the memory to calculate a light intensity.

An automatic analyzer, comprising:

• a reaction disc;
• a reaction disc motor which rotates the reaction disc;
• reaction containers which are arranged on the reaction disc in a circular manner and each of which contains reaction solution therein;
• a light source which emits light to be transmitted through the reaction solution;
• a spectral detector which measures the light transmitted through the reaction solution;
• a memory which stores light measurement data measured by the spectral detector;
• a CPU which calculates the light measurement data stored in the memory to obtain a light intensity;
• and
• reaction container position detection means which detects a position of each of the reaction containers arranged on the reaction disc, wherein
• the spectral detector measures the light over an entirety of an area from one end to the other end of the reaction container at a portion where the reaction solution reserves, and the spectral detector measures the light in synchronism with the movement of the reaction containers while detecting the positions of the respective reaction containers by the reaction container position detection means.
