A novel automatic analysis apparatus in which a plurality of reaction tubes, according to the necessity, are held by a pair of turret tables disposed in predetermined spaces, and a reaction tube exchange means held between the tables automatically exchanges the reaction tubes held by one table for those of the other table at a predetermined position without stopping the rotation of the tables, and thereby achieves a charging operation, a measuring operation and a cleaning operation necessary for analysis of a specimen, such as blood, reagent or the like at a high speed with high precision and, in addition, facilitates measurement of an urgent specimen such as for operation.
