It is intended to easily dispense a minute amount of nonvolatile liquid. In a preferred embodiment, in dispensing of mineral oil (nonvolatile liquid), dispensing is conducted in the condition that the amount of air contained in a tip () is small by aspirating a larger amount of mineral oil () than a single dispensing amount in the tip () of a nozzle ().

Method of dispensing nonvolatile liquid in reaction vessel and reaction vessel processing apparatus

Disclosed is a reaction kit for preventing the entry of foreign matter into a reaction plate from the outside and the pollution of a surrounding environment. The reaction kit includes: a reaction plate () having, on the top surface side thereof, a reaction container () for carrying out the reaction of a sample and a reagent container () containing a reagent used for the reaction of a sample and sealed with a film (); a dispensation tip () arranged on the top surface side of the reaction plate (); a cover () covering a space above the top surface of the reaction plate () and movably supporting the dispensation tip () so that a distal end thereof is located inside the space covered with the cover () and a proximal end thereof is located outside the space; and a sample container () for introducing a sample into the space covered with the cover () from the outside through a sealable opening () provided in a part of the cover ().

Reaction kit

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.
