Abstract
To change a photometric time for each item or to change a measurement time for each specimen so that time required for biochemical measurement can be reduced, an index that indicates an end of a reaction is required. Unfortunately, however, no methods have been available for determining the end of the reaction. In measuring a substance to be measured contained in a sample, a parameter in an approximate expression is calculated using a measured value that changes with time, a degree of convergence of a reaction is determined according to a degree of convergence of the parameter, and a measured value at the end of the reaction is calculated using the parameter at a point in time at which it is determined that the reaction has converged.
