Automatic in vitro diagnostic apparatus including inclined rotating plate

An apparatus for automatically diagnosing a clinical specimen or a reagent in vitro, the apparatus comprising:

• a clinical specimen storage unit which accommodates and stores the clinical specimen, and attaches a code having information of the accommodated and stored clinical specimen to a surface thereof;
• a reagent storage unit which accommodates and stores the reagent, and attaches a code having information of the accommodated and stored clinical specimen to a surface thereof;
• a code reader unit which recognizes an identification code attached to the clinical specimen storage unit or to the reagent storage unit;
• a dispenser which receives the information of the clinical specimen and the information of the reagent from the code reader unit, recognizes the clinical specimen storage unit and the reagent storage unit storing the information of the clinical specimen and the information of the reagent to be taken, takes the clinical specimen and the reagent to be taken, and transports the clinical specimen and the reagent which are taken;
• and
• a rotating plate which receives the clinical specimen and the reagent from the dispenser and rotates about a rotating axis so as to incubate the clinical specimen and the reagent,
• wherein the rotation axis of the rotating plate has a predetermined angle against the gravity direction.
