Automated Analyzer

An automatic analysis device comprising:

• a specimen rack input unit which can hold one or more specimen racks on which one or more specimen containers each containing a specimen as an analysis target are mounted;
• one or more analysis units which analyze the specimen contained in the specimen container;
• a specimen rack transportation unit which transports the specimen rack between the specimen rack input unit and the analysis unit;
• and
• a control unit which performs control such that the transportation of the specimen rack from the specimen rack input unit to the analysis unit is stopped in a case where load information as information representing an operation status of the analysis unit is acquired for each analysis unit and there is an analysis unit of which the load information is greater than a predetermined set value,
• wherein the load information of each analysis device is obtained by the product of the number of analysis items, which correspond to non-processed dispensing processes among dispensing processes corresponding to predetermined analysis items with respect to the specimen container mounted on the specimen rack transported to the analysis unit, and a load factor, which represents a time required for a dispensing process by a specimen dispensing mechanism of the analysis unit.
