摘要:
This invention provides a sample analyzing device and sample analyzing method designed to suppress nonuniform capture of magnetic particles (10) and detect a desired substance with higher accuracy. The sample analyzing device includes a flow channel (15) that conducts thereinto a sample which contains the magnetic particles (10), and magnetic field generating means (12) that generates magnetic fields for capturing the magnetic particles (10) in a magnetic particles capturing region of the flow channel (15); wherein the flow channel has at least one of structural characteristics that a cross-sectional area of the flow channel, at a downstream end of the magnetic particles capturing region, is larger than a cross-sectional area of the flow channel, at an upstream end of the magnetic particles capturing region, and that the magnetic fields generated by the magnetic field generating means (12) have a greater magnitude at a downstream side of the magnetic particles capturing region than at an upstream side thereof.

The purpose of this invention is to provide a nozzle cleaning method and an automated analyzer that make it possible to minimize carryover and contamination while minimizing waste of a cleaning liquid. To that end, this nozzle cleaning method is characterized by having the following steps: a first cleaning step in which a pre-pressurization liquid is discharged from a dispensing nozzle (122) in a first cleaning position so as to clean the inside wall thereof and a first cleaning liquid is applied to the outside wall of the dispensing nozzle (122) so as to clean said outside wall; a second cleaning step in which a second cleaning liquid is suctioned into the dispensing nozzle (122) in a second cleaning position so as to clean the inside wall thereof; and a third cleaning step in which the second cleaning liquid is discharged from the dispensing nozzle (122) in a third cleaning position so as to clean the inside wall thereof and a third cleaning liquid is applied to the outside wall of the dispensing nozzle (122) so as to clean said outside wall.
