Abstract

See full text

Provided is an automatic analysis apparatus which can obtain stable analysis results by stabilizing a constant-temperature bath and the temperature of a reaction liquid inside reaction containers. For this purpose, the automatic analysis apparatus (1) comprises: a storage tank (10) for storing a temperature controlling liquid (L1) dispensed into reaction containers (5) using dispensing apparatuses (6) and (7); and a dispensation control section for performing a control for dispensing the temperature controlling liquid (L1) using the dispensing apparatuses into an empty reaction container when there is such an empty reaction container, in which neither a specimen nor a reagent is dispensed, on a reaction table (4), where the temperature controlling liquid is cooled down substantially equal to the dispensed reagent by laying a pipe, which is provided between a cooler and a reagent table (2) for passing the coolant, through the temperature controlling liquid in the storage tank.
