DOUBLE OPTICAL PATH CELL FOR AUTOMATIC ANALYZING DEVICE AND ANALYZING METHOD USING THE DOUBLE OPTICAL PATH CELL

摘要

A double optical path cell for an automatic analyzing device forming a reaction/measurement cell having measured liquid such as blood specimen stored therein, capable of increasing a measurement area by measuring a plurality of the absorbances of the same measured liquid, reducing the times of the dilution of high density specimen and re-inspection, accurately measuring a low density specimen, and detecting foreign matter in the measured liquid and an analyzing method using the double optical path cell, the cell wherein a plurality of step parts having different optical path lengths are formed on the cell for measuring the absorbances of the measured liquid by allowing the cell having the measured liquid stored therein and formed of a translucent material to pass through a measurement path disposed so as to cross a transfer route for the cell, and measured light is transmitted through the step parts of the cell so that the plurality of different absorbances can be provided.
