Abstract

This invention provides a measuring apparatus that allows measurements of light in various inspections based on different light generating principles to be performed by a single measuring apparatus and thus widens the range of reagents that can be used, increasing the versatility of this single measuring apparatus and significantly enhancing its usefulness for users and reagent manufacturers. The measuring apparatus of this invention comprises: a light receiving unit and/or a light receiving unit holder connected to a light measuring device; a nozzle holder holding a nozzle for injecting reagents including luminescent reagents into a container; and a container containing a specimen and/or a container holder; wherein the container or container holder and the light receiving unit or light receiving unit holder, and/or the nozzle holder are coupled together to form an enclosed space shielded from external light.
