In an automatic chemical analyzing method and apparatus in which a plurality of samples each added with a reagent are discretely transported through a reaction line and subjected to a reaction during the transportation for optical measurement to generate measured signals and to process them, the samples to be analyzed are grouped into a plurality of sample groups each including a plurality of samples which are to be measured with respect to the same test items, which are previously stored for each sample group in a memory of a central control unit. The samples are divided by a number corresponding to the number of test items and successively fed to the reaction line one by one in sample groups, and, at the time of change of the sample group receiving the analysis, test items corresponding to a new sample group are read from the memory to carry out a chemical analysis for the samples in each sample group according to the read test items.

An automatic chemical analyzing method comprising the steps of: successively transporting samples one by one in groups to a sampling station, said samples being grouped into a plurality of sample groups, each sample group including a plurality of samples which are to be analyzed with respect to the same test items; successively feeding these transported samples, with each sample divided into a number of portions corresponding to the number of test items for the sample group which includes the sample, with a reagent to a reaction line; storing the test items for each sample group in a memory of a central control unit for controlling the operation of an analyzing system in accordance with each test item prior to the feeding of the first sample of each sample group to the reaction line; discretely transporting through said reaction line the portions of the samples fed to said reaction line, respectively; photometrically measuring the portions of the samples subjected to a reaction during the transportation through said reaction line; and reading the test items for the sample group to be next analyzed from said memory in the central control unit to control the operation of the analyzing system in accordance with these test items when the sample group fed to said reaction line is altered.
