Abstract
The amount of consumption of a washing solution for a nozzle and the required time for washing are reduced. A nozzle washing apparatus usable for collection of a specimen comprises a washing tank which accommodates a nozzle, a first discharge port which discharges a washing solution supplied into the washing tank from an upper portion of the washing tank, a second discharge port which discharges the washing solution supplied into the washing tank from a position lower than the first discharge port of the washing tank, a detector which detects a range of contact of an outer wall of the nozzle with the specimen, and a controller which discharges the washing solution supplied into the washing tank from one of the first discharge port and the second discharge port on the basis of a detection result obtained by the detector.
