1. A method for controlling a measurement system comprising the steps of:

  • (a) detecting at least one selected from the group consisting of a transmitted light component, a scattered light component and a reflected light component of a light which is traversed by a rising surface of a sample solution being injected into a sample cell, and outputting an output signal corresponding to the detection;

    (b) verifying that a predetermined amount of said sample solution is held in said sample cell based on a change in the output signal; and

    then(c) measuring an optical characteristic of the sample solution,wherein step (b) is performed based on the rate at which the output signal changes over time, andwherein said light in the step (a) is also used for measuring said optical characteristic in the step (c).
