PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To control a movement of a mechanism correspondently to each operation mode in manual spot-sticking work for manual measurement and in consumable item mounting work in order to improve measurement work on an analyzer for efficiently performing analysis and measurement. SOLUTION: This analyzer is equipped with a sample tray 2 mounted with a specimen and a dry analysis element 12 necessary for its measurement, and a spot-sticking mechanism 6 for spot-sticking the specimen to the analysis element 12. This analyzer is equipped with a manual measurement mode for spot-sticking the specimen to the analysis element 12 for measurement by manual operation in addition to an automatic measurement mode for automatically spot-sticking the specimen to the analysis element 12 for measurement when measuring the constituent concentration of the specimen spot-stuck to the analysis element 12. When the manual measurement mode is on, the spot-sticking mechanism 6 used in the automatic measurement mode is moved from above a spot-stuck part to a refuge position above the sample tray 2 kept from interfering with manual operation. In a consumable item mounting mode, the sample tray is actuated so that a consumable item mount part turns into an open region. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
