  • Patent number: 11965902
    Abstract: When washing the inside of a reactor vessel which is used repeatedly, a rough suction is performed before suctioning with a washing tip; however, unwanted washing liquid may remain that may affect analysis results. The present invention provides an automatic analysis device for analyzing a sample using light, in which the automatic analysis device is characterized in that: a washing mechanism comprises a washing liquid supply nozzle that supplies washing liquid to a reactor vessel after analysis, a washing liquid suction nozzle that suctions the supplied washing liquid, a washing tip provided to the bottom end of the washing liquid suction nozzle, and a rough suction nozzle that suctions, in advance, a liquid within the reactor vessel before suctioning with the washing tip; and after the rough suction, liquid is caused to remain so that the bottom surface of the reactor vessel is not exposed.

  • Patent number: 9084961
    Abstract: A gas-liquid contacting plate of the present invention in which a treatment liquid flows from an upper side to a lower side direction of a substrate and a part of gas being in contact with the treatment liquid is absorbed into the treatment liquid, includes a downward protruding saw teeth-shaped portion in which a lower end side of the substrate has pitches at predetermined gaps. Further, a pore group for liquid dispersion having a predetermined gap is provided in a plurality of lines, in the substrate. An arrangement thereof is a zigzag arrangement.
