Disclosed is an automatic analyzer that offers highly reliable analytic data and a high level of processing capacity while allowing a reagent sampling operation suitable for a given reagent container to be performed when a reagent container suitable for a given reagent is used. When the operation begins, whether a reagent bottle contains a liquid leakage prevention mechanism is checked (Steps 601, 602). If there is no liquid leakage prevention mechanism, the size of the opening of the reagent bottle is determined (Step 604). Then, when one cycle has passed after the reagent disk is stopped, anozzle is inserted and lowered into the reagent bottle and whether the nozzle has reached the liquid surface is determined by using a capacitive method (Step 607) if the opening is large, or a pressure detection method (Step 608) if the opening is small. If there is a liquid leakage prevention mechanism, the size of the opening of the reagent bottle is determined (Step 604), and the nozzle is inserted and lowered into the reagent bottle immediately after the reagent disk is stopped, and whether the nozzle has reached the liquid surface is determined by using a capacitive method (Step 605) if the opening is large, or a pressure detection method (Step 606) if the opening is small.
