Automatic Analyzer and Sample Dispensing Method for the Automatic Analyzer

A sample dispensing method for an automatic analyzer for performing analysis of both an assay menu with a high carry-over avoiding level and an assay menu with a low carry-over avoiding level, the method comprising:

• a subdividing and dispensing step for dispensing a sample required for analysis of an assay menu with a low carry-over avoiding level, from a sample container to a housing section, using a first sample dispensing section for an assay menu with a high carry-over avoiding level, which is loaded with a disposable tip;
• a first sample dispensing step, for the same sample, for dispensing a sample for an assay menu with a high carry-over avoiding level, from the sample container, using the first sample dispensing section;
• and
• a second sample dispensing step, for the same sample, for dispensing a sample for an assay menu with a low carry-over avoiding level, from the housing section, using a second sample dispensing section loaded with a reusable probe.
