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).

Abstract
A verification method of a sample solution amount includes the steps of: detecting at least one of a transmitted light component, a scattered light component and a reflected light component of a light by a photosensor while irradiating a sample solution, which is being injected into a sample cell, with the light; and verifying that a predetermined amount of the sample solution is held in the sample cell based on a change in an output signal from the photosensor.

9. 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, and where said sample solution is transfused from said cell to another sample cell after the step (b), and step (c) is conducted thereafter.
