The present disclosure relates to a circulating device, a circulating method, and a sample analyzer. The circulating device includes a mounting rack and an input mechanism, an output mechanism, a recycling mechanism and a transferring mechanism arranged on the mounting rack. The input mechanism is configured to provide a bearing box holding a reaction vessel. The output mechanism is configured to output the bearing box holding the reaction vessel from the input mechanism. The recycling mechanism is configured to recycle the bearing box, which is from the output mechanism and the reaction vessel held by which has been unloaded. The transferring mechanism includes transferring components corresponding to the input mechanism, the output mechanism and the recycling mechanism simultaneously. The transferring components are configured to not only convey the bearing box holding the reaction vessel from the input mechanism to the output mechanism, but also convey the bearing box, the reaction vessel held by which has been unloaded, from the output mechanism to the recycling mechanism. Thus, the structure of the circulating device is more compact.

As a standard solution for evaluating a scattered light measuring optical system mounted on an automated analyzer, a standard solution containing an insoluble carrier at a concentration, at which transmittance is in a range of 10% to 50%, is used, and a light quantity of a light source is adjusted such that a scattered light detector outputs a predetermined value.

The present invention provides a chemical analyzer with highly reliable agitation performance, said chemical analyzer not only diagnosing the deterioration of a piezoelectric element, but also diagnosing the deformation and displacement of a reaction container and diagnosing the normality of the liquid quantity of a substance to be agitated in the reaction container. This chemical analyzer is characterized by comprising: an agitating mechanism that uses acoustic waves to agitate a sample and a reagent within a reaction container, generates acoustic waves using a piezoelectric element, and has an acoustic wave sensor for detecting the acoustic waves; and a controller that controls the agitating mechanism. Said chemical analyzer is further characterized in that the controller has: an acoustic wave detection unit that processes a detection signal detected by the acoustic wave sensor; a normality information memory in which normal-time information is stored; a signal intensity determination unit that compares the acoustic wave amplitude and acoustic wave frequency transmitted from the acoustic wave detection unit with the acoustic wave amplitude and acoustic wave frequency stored in the normality information memory; and a repeat period determination unit that compares the acoustic wave period characteristic transmitted from the acoustic wave detection unit with the acoustic wave period characteristic stored in the normality information memory.
