Abstract
Analyzers are described that control sample agitation by detecting vibration acceleration and using feedback to control the agitation and also alert to the presence of abnormal agitation. An embodiment provides an analyzer comprising a liquid agitation unit; an agitated liquid analysis unit; and a unit that controls the agitation unit. The agitation unit includes a vibrator of a liquid container and a detector of vibration of the container and that outputs a signal to the control unit, which responds by regulating the vibrator.
