An analyzer measures the concentration of a specific component in a sample liquid supplied to a test piece equipped with first and second terminal parts. An analyzer (X1) includes a stage on which a test piece is placed, a first terminal (40a) for electrical connection with a first terminal part, a second terminal (40b) for electrical connection with a second terminal part, and an electric circuit (6) for measuring parameters required for calculating the concentration of a specific component. A check piece (4′), in place of the test piece, is placed on a stage to test the electric circuit (6). The test of the electric circuit (6) is performed based on a plurality of electric responses from the electric circuit (6) with a plurality of electric conditions applied to the check piece (4′).
