Since there is no need to arrange the reagent container in a fixed position at all, as a result, it is not only very easy to replace the reagent container, but also it is necessary to input the data of the preliminary reagent into the controller. Since there is no such thing, the operability of the automatic analyzer can be greatly improved, and reagents corresponding to all analytical items can be set without increasing the size of the device, which can substantially increase the number of analytical items in the automatic analyzer. .
