Abstract
A chemical analysis apparatus comprises an incubator provided with a plurality of chambers disposed on the same circumference for each housing a chemical analysis slide, a sample application device disposed above the incubator at a predetermined position on the circuumference, and a probe disposed below the incubator at the predetermined position. A rotation system is provided for rotating the incubator to locate the chambers one after another at the predetermined position. A slide feeder is disposed outward or inward of the circumference to face the predetermined position, and a slide ejection unit is disposed on the side opposite to the slide feeder with the predetermined position intervening between the slide ejection unit and the slide feeder. The chemical analysis slide in each of the chambers is pushed out and ejected by feeding of a new chemical analysis into the chamber.
