An automatic analyzer adapted to enhance sample/reagent dispensing accuracy, regardless of a difference in sample/reagent dispensing height of a dispensing probe. When the amount of sample in a sample container is small, tip height “h1” of a sample dispensing probe positioned immediately after it has aspirated the sample decreases below tip height “h′” of the sample dispensing probe positioned immediately before it discharges the sample. The sample in this state takes a concave shape at the tip of the sample dispensing probe positioned immediately before it discharges the sample. When the amount of sample in a sample container is large, tip height “h2” of the sample dispensing probe positioned immediately after it has aspirated the sample increases above the tip height “h′” and the sample takes a convex shape at the tip of the sample dispensing probe positioned immediately before it discharges the sample.
An automatic analyzer comprising:
An automatic analyzer comprising:
A liquid dispensing method for use in an automatic analyzer including a sample dispensing probe that dispenses a sample into a reaction cell from a sample container holding the sample, a reagent dispensing probe that dispenses a reagent into the reaction cell from a reagent container holding the reagent, and an analyzing unit that analyzes a solution from the reaction of the sample with the reagent, the dispensing method comprising the steps of:
