Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To stably prevent reagent from evaporating by providing liquid which is lighter than the reagent in specific gravity, does not mix with the reagent, and is non-volatile at cold reserving temperature, in the vessel of the reagent. SOLUTION: A turn table is rotated by a motor, and a reagent vessel 9 of reagent to be sucked is positioned just over an insert port. A probe is brought down, the tip part of the probe inserted into a case is soaked in the reagent A in the reagent vessel 9, and after sucking the reagent A by the probe, the probe is drawn out from the reagent vessel 9. Because the liquid surface is covered with liquid B of lighter specific gravity than the reagent A and not mixing with the reagent A, contact with air is prevented, and hence the reagent A is prevented from evaporating. Consequently, it is unnecessary to provide the opening/closing mechanism or the like of the opening part of the reagent vessel 9.
