Automatic analyzer

Abstract

An automatic analyzer maintains accuracy of analysis of a specimen even when a liquid spills on an expendable item case. The automatic analyzer has an expendable item case which accommodates expendable items including a dispensing tip used for dispensing a specimen and a reaction cell used for reaction between the specimen and a reagent, and a conveyance portion which conveys the expendable items from the expendable item case. A body cover covers the analysis unit, the expendable item case, and the expendable item conveyance portion. The expendable item case includes a tray in which the expendable items are arrayed, and an expendable item cover which covers the tray and in which an open portion through which the expendable item conveyance portion passes is provided on a side surface thereof, and the expendable item cover includes a barrier portion protruding upward at an end on a side of the open portion.
