PURPOSE: To obtain an automatic analysis device which enables a number of reagent containers to be set without increasing a size of an entire device and a throughput to be improved.
CONSTITUTION: A plurality of reagent containers 123 with a pipet which can be inserted into or extracted from a plurality of reagent turntables are set concentrically in a plurality of rows and the pipet of the desired reagent container 123 is connected to each probe by reagent dispensing mechanism 41 and 45 with a plurality of probes corresponding to each reagent turntable, thus enabling a desired amount of reagent to be sucked into each pipet. These reagents are dispensed to a plurality of reaction containers 33 which are transported along a specified reaction line 31 by pulling out the pipet from the reagent container 123 and then each pipet is returned to the original reagent container 123 after dispensing, thus a plurality of items to be analyzed randomly within one period.
