A photometric dispensing nozzle unit, a photometric dispensing apparatus, and a photometric dispensing method are for preventing an increase in apparatus scale and have a simple structure to be easily handled. A nozzle performs suction/discharge of gas through a distal end opening and can have a dispensing tip attached thereto. A light guide end portion is provided in the nozzle and can receive or irradiate light at a distal end of the nozzle. A dispensing cylinder has a cylinder having a cavity therein, a plunger that is slidable in the cavity, and a suction/discharge port that performs suction/discharge of gas. A suction/discharge flow path passes through the nozzle and communicates with the suction/discharge port and the distal end opening of the nozzle. A light guide path is optically connected to the light guide end portion through the nozzle but not through the dispensing cylinder.

Photometric dispensing nozzle unit, photometric dispensing apparatus, and photometric dispensing method

A dispensing cylinder capable of performing a dispensing treatment for both minute and large amounts of liquid includes: a cylinder having a cavity; a nozzle provided at one end of the cylinder, having a through hole in fluid communication with the cavity and extending in an axial direction of the cavity, and a plunger slidable in the cavity in the axial direction. The cavity has a large diameter region having a large inner peripheral surface and a small diameter region having a second inner peripheral surface. The plunger has a thick shaft portion slidable in the large diameter region and a thin shaft portion protruding from a distal end of the thick shaft portion in the axial direction and slidable in the small diameter region.
