Analyzing apparatus having a function pipette samples

An analyzing apparatus transferring at of least one sample container in which a sample to be analyzed is contained, pipetting said sample from said sample container to a reaction container, and analyzing said pipetted sample, said analyzing apparatus comprising:

• a plurality of types of analyzing units provided for a plurality of types of sampling pipetting devices having at least one of different sizes and numbers of pipette nozzles, each one of said types of analyzing units being prepared corresponding to each one of said types of sampling pipetting devices, and analyzing a sample pipetted by said corresponding one of said types of sampling pipetting devices;
• discrimination means for discriminating a type of each sample container placed at a discrimination position;
• determining means for determining one of said analyzing units, possessing one of said sample pipetting devices, which is suitable for said discriminated type of said sample container;
• and
• transfer means for transferring said discriminated type of sample container to said determined analyzing unit.

• a rack transfer line for transferring a sample rack to hold at least one sample container containing a sample;
• discrimination means for discriminating information on an analysis item allocated to said sample container held in said transferred rack;
• determining means for determining one of said analyzing units, possessing one of said sample pipetting devices, which possesses a pipette nozzle suitable for said type of sample container to which the analysis item discriminated by said discrimination means has been allocated, based on said discriminated analysis item;
• and
• a controller for controlling said rack transfer line so as to convey said sample rack for holding said sample container to which said discriminated item has been allocated, toward said determined analyzing unit;
• wherein said sample contained in said sample container to which said discriminated analysis item has been allocated is pipetted by said pipette nozzle that is suitable for said type of sample container to which the discriminated analysis item has been allocated.
