| abstract |
The invention provides a chemical analysis apparatus (1) which easily agitates and warms up. A chemical analysis apparatus has a motor (11), a retaining disc (12) which can be rotated by the motor, a plurality of inspection cartridges (2) which are arranged on the retaining disc, a punching machine (13) for punching the inspection cartridges, a warming apparatus (14) and a detection apparatus (15). The inspection cartridge includes a container formed by a concave portion and a base plate (21, 31) having a flow path. A cover (22, 32) covering the container and the flow path is installed to the base plate. A liquid solution is moved to the container in an outer peripheral side with respect to a rotation axis from the container in an inner peripheral side with respect to the rotation axis via the flow path, by utilizing a centrifugal force generated on the basis of the rotation of the retaining disc. The inspection cartridge is provided with an agitating means for agitating the liquid solution within the container and a warming means (14) for warming up the liquid solution within the container. |
