Automatic analyzer

Abstract

An automatic analyzer 101 includes a judgment part 118f which descends a probe 201 in the direction of a reagent 205 and suspends the downward movement of the probe 201 at a first position PT higher than a liquid level value P0 assumed to be a height of a liquid level by a first predetermined value Db. The judgment part 118f determines that the reagent 205 is in a normal state when the liquid level is not detected by an electrostatic capacity sensor 206 at the first position PT. Further, the judgment part 118f determines that the reagent 205 in an abnormal state when the liquid level is detected by the electrostatic capacity sensor 206 before reaching the first position PT. An automatic analyzer capable of reducing consumption of consumables produced at the time of reagent registration compared with conventional cases is provided.
