Analyzer having sensor with memory device

An analyzer body on which an assembly is to be detachably mounted, said assembly including a passage through which a sample passes during analysis of said sample, sensing means having a characteristic of inherently defining an analyzing condition of said sample, said sensing means being in contact with said passage, and memory means for holding the analyzing condition defined by said sensing means, the analyzer body comprising:

• means for holding said sample;
• means for reading the analyzing condition from said memory means;
• means for performing said analysis of said sample on the basis of the read analyzing condition;
• and
• means for outputting a result of said analysis of said sample.
