Abstract
An automatic analyzing apparatus includes a drainage line for conveying a reaction liquid which has been subjected to an analysis and water used to clean a reaction vessel from the reaction vessel to a waste liquid reservoir. The drainage line includes a vacuum tank, a vacuum pump for sucking a gas separated from a liquid within the vacuum tank and containing suspended particles, and a filter for filtering the gas discharged from the vacuum pump and thereby preventing discharge of an infectious aerosol from the apparatus. The waste liquid reservoir is provided with a sterilizing liquid supply bottle for supplying a sterilizer or a disinfectant into the reservoir.
