There is provided an automated analyzer which can eliminate static charge on receptacles storing analytes or reagents to thereby offer improved accuracy of analysis. The automated analyzer comprises: a receptacle carrier mechanism operative to hold a plurality of receptacles storing liquid and to carry the held receptacles in a given direction; a reader device for reading identification information of the receptacles carried by the receptacle carrier mechanism; a static eliminator for eliminating static charge on the receptacles carried by the receptacle carrier mechanism; and an input/output controller for causing the static eliminator to carry out the elimination of the static charge in synchronism with successive reading by the reader device of the identification information of the receptacles carried by the receptacle carrier mechanism.
An automated analyzer comprising:
An automated analysis method implemented by an automated analyzer having a receptacle carrier mechanism operative to hold a plurality of receptacles storing liquid and to carry the held receptacles in a given direction, a reader device for reading identification information of the receptacles carried by the receptacle carrier mechanism, a static eliminator for eliminating static charge on the receptacles carried by the receptacle carrier mechanism, and an input/output controller for controlling operations of the receptacle carrier mechanism, the reader device, and the static eliminator, the method comprising:
