A thermal cycler includes: a support block configured to support a reaction vessel; a Peltier element thermally connected to the support block and configured to adjust a temperature of a sample solution stored in the reaction vessel by heating/cooling the support block; a temperature sensor configured to measure a temperature of the support block; and a temperature adjusting unit configured to control a current and a voltage supplied to the Peltier element based on the temperature of the support block measured by the temperature sensor. As the reaction vessel, a reaction vessel including a conical portion which opens at an upper portion and tapers toward a lower portion is used, and the Peltier element is arranged so as to be parallel to a conical generatrix portion of the reaction vessel.

A medium processing device includes a first, second and third conveyance path, a classification section, a first, second and third switching unit, a first, second and third storage box and a controller. Each of the first, second and third conveyance paths has two ends. One end of the first conveyance path is connected to one end of the third conveyance path. One end of the second conveyance path is connected to the other end of the third conveyance path at a second side of the classification section opposite to the first side. The other end of the first conveyance path is connected to the other end of the second conveyance path. The controller controls the first conveyance path and the second conveyance path so that the first and second conveyance paths are driven independently from each other.
