The present invention has an object to provide an automatic analyzer using a disc, which treats samples with different pretreatment times or samples with different measurement times requested at random with high throughput. The present invention relates to performing adjustment rotation, rotation returning to origin, and measurement rotation in specimen analysis using a disc having a plurality of sample positions on a circumference. The adjustment rotation is an operation for placing a desired sample position in a particular position for introducing a sample into the disc or discarding the sample. The rotation returning to origin is an operation for placing an origin of the disc in a particular position. The measurement rotation is an operation for rotating the disc at a predetermined speed for measuring a plurality of samples held by the disc.
