Abstract: A cleaning device includes a discharge nozzle that discharges cleaning liquid; a suction nozzle that sucks the cleaning liquid or reaction liquid in the cleaning tank or the reaction vessel; a discard vessel connected to the suction nozzle via a pipe to discard the cleaning liquid or the reaction liquid; a detecting unit that detects whether an electrostatic capacity at least between the suction nozzle and an electrode provided in the pipe exceeds a threshold value; a determination unit that determines that the suction nozzle is clogged when a time difference between a time, at which the electrostatic capacity exceeds the threshold value when the suction nozzle is not clogged, and a time, at which the electrostatic capacity exceeds the threshold value at the time of determination, is not less than a predetermined time difference threshold value; and a control unit that stops the discharge nozzle from discharging the cleaning liquid to the reaction vessel when the suction nozzle is clogged.

Abstract: An analyzer (1) comprises: a detecting section (254) for continuously detecting the capacitance between an electrode (253) provided in a nozzle cleaning tank (252) and a suction nozzle (251b) ; a determining section (45) for determining whether the suction nozzle (251b) is clogged or not based on the time dependency of capacitance detected at the detecting section (254), that is the time dependency of capacitance between the suction nozzle (251b), which is raised out of the nozzle cleaning tank (252) after BF cleaning liquid (Lw) is sucked, and the electrode (253); and a controlling section (41) for stopping the discharge of the BF cleaning liquid from an discharge nozzle (251a) into a reaction tube (10) when it is determined by the determining section (45) that the suction nozzle (251b) is clogged.
