There is provided a toner binder containing a polyester resin (P) composed of two or more polyester resins that are each obtained by polycondensation of a carboxylic acid component (x) and an alcohol component (y). The alcohol component (y) of at least one polyester resin (P1) constituting the polyester resin (P) comprises 30 to 100 molar % of an adduct (y1) of bisphenol A with 2 to 4 ethylene oxide molecules. The alcohol component (y) of at least one other polyester resin (P2) constituting the polyester resin (P) comprises 50 to 95 molar % of an aliphatic diol (y2) having 2 to 4 carbon atoms. The (P2) is other than the (P1), and the polyester resin (P) satisfies relationships as follows. 11.5&#x2266;SP value [(cal/cm)] of (P)&#x2266;13.0; and 5.2&#x2266;HLB value (according to the Oda method) of (P)&#x2266;7.1.

Methods and apparatuses for dispensing samples or reagents onto a target object are provided. A dispensing position designating section () designates the dispensing position on the target object (), such as a membrane, based on an image of the target object () displayed on a monitoring section (). A dispensing control section () positions the target object and the dispensing device relative to each other so that the designated dispensing position on the target object is placed beneath the dispensing device () and controls the dispensing operation of the dispensing device (). A dispensing position information creating section () creates dispensing position information about the dispensing position on the target object () which is designated by the dispensing position designating section () and to which the dispensing operation has been performed and outputs it to the outside.
