Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An automatic analyzer having a reaction vessel in which an analyte is caused to react with a reagent; a probe for suctioning the reacted analyte from the reaction vessel; an analyzer unit for analyzing the reacted analyte; a transfer channel for transferring the reacted analyte suctioned by the probe to the analyzer unit 6 ; and a liquid-surface detector, connected to the reaction vessel and the probe via signal lines 1 a and a pair of signal lines 4 a and 4 b , respectively, for detecting the electrical characteristics between the probe and the reaction vessel. A switch is located between the signal lines 4 a and 4 b that connect the liquid-surface detector to the probe, so that the switch can connect or disconnect the signal line 4 a to/from the signal line 4 b.
