Abstract: The present invention achieves an automatic analysis device which has a probe guard for which the range of motion for accessing a specimen container installation section is small and which can be moved without being removed from a specimen installation section. The directions of movement of a probe guard are the vertical direction of a specimen container erection mechanism and the horizontal direction within an upper region of the specimen container erection mechanism, and a specimen container can be accessed without the need to move the probe guard to outside the upper region of the specimen container erection mechanism. Accordingly, it is possible to achieve an automatic analysis device which has a probe guard for which the range of motion for accessing a specimen installation section is small and which can be moved without being removed from a specimen container erection mechanism.

Abstract: To provide an automated analyzer with a built-in, user-friendly printer that can avoid contamination of printed paper of the printer by having a housing front wall 102 provided in a recessed manner from a front end 101 of a housing upper portion that has disposed thereon a sample disc 110, a reagent disc 120, a reaction disc, a sample dispensing mechanism, and a reagent dispensing mechanism, and by having a printer 200 and a paper receptacle 210 disposed on the housing front wall. The front end portion of the housing upper portion that projects beyond the housing front wall serves as eaves, thereby preventing a sample or a reagent that may be spilled on the housing upper portion from staining the printer or printing paper.

Abstract: In an automatic analysis device, when an external force acts on a probe guard 26 in a horizontal direction, the probe guard 26 moves in a direction escaping from the external force around a center portion 47 of a test body container installing mechanism 1, and the probe guard 26 is separated from a fixed position. An outer circumferential wall 29 of the probe guard 26 invades a test body sampling mechanism track 28, and thus a risk that a sampling nozzle 23 of a test body sampling mechanism 5 invades the test body container installing mechanism 1 is avoided by the outer circumferential wall 29. When the probe guard 26 is separated from the fixed position, this is detected, and thus the operation of the test body sampling mechanism 5 and the test body container installing mechanism 1 is stopped.

Abstract: A panel holding base holding an operating panel disposed on a front-face side of a device upper part of an automated analyzer is inclined so as to rise from a lower end side on the front-face side toward an upper end side, and has a shape with increasingly narrower width from the lower end side toward the upper end side. As a result, increased operating panel operability and improved access to a sample disc or a reagent disc are simultaneously achieved.

Abstract: An automatic analyzer having a positioning member connected to a nozzle support jig used to install a rinse nozzle having a suction member. The positioning member is present at a lower position than that of the suction member, has a vertically movable construction, and during a downward movement of the rinse mechanism, is brought close to/inserted into the reaction cuvette earlier than the suction member. Thus, the positioning member adjusts an inserting position of the suction member appropriately if the stopping position of the reaction cuvette deviates.

Abstract: An automatic analyzer including a rinse mechanism is adapted so that a suction member for suctioning up rinse water is reliably inserted into a reaction cuvette. A positioning member is connected to a nozzle support jig used to install the rinse nozzle having the suction member. The positioning member is present at a lower position than that of the suction member, has a vertically movable construction, and during a downward movement of the rinse mechanism, is brought close to/inserted into the reaction cuvette earlier than the suction member. Thus, the positioning member adjusts an inserting position of the suction member appropriately if the stopping position of the reaction cuvette deviates.
