- INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY As described above, according to the present invention, according to the present invention, the lid to be supplied to the processing stage is temporarily removed and the processing by the processing stage is completed.
- a lid attachment / detachment mechanism is provided so that a lid plate with a lid can be mounted in the supply tower for each set unit, and a plate plate without a lid can be supplied to the processing stage.
- the treated well plate at the processing stage can be stored in the storage tower after being covered.
- the workability of mounting the lid plate with lid can be simplified, and moreover, The reliability of the well plate at the time of supply to the processing stage or at the time of storage from the processing stage can be ensured.
