Abstract
A fully automatic biochemical analyzer and an analyzing method thereof are provided, in which the fully automatic biochemical analyzer includes two concentric reagent trays and two driving systems. The two driving systems respectively drive the two reagent trays to rotate, so the two reagent trays are capable of independent rotation, thereby avoiding various drawbacks resulting from required simultaneous rotation and stopping of the two reagent trays. The two reagent trays are concentrically disposed. Under a particular limitation of the table size, more reagent positions can be disposed, thereby increasing the number of items that can be analyzed at the same time by the analyzer.
