In a sample pretreatment device, a container storage section () holds multiple containers, including a first well plate having wells in an N×M matrix form and a second well plate having N elongated wells whose length corresponds to M wells in one row of the first well plate or M elongated wells whose length corresponds to N wells in one column of the first well plate. A dispensing section () includes: a platform () on winch containers can be placed; a pipette unit () including an M-channel tip corresponding to M wells in one row of the first well plate or an N-channel tip corresponding to N wells in one column of the first well plate; and a pump unit () for suctioning/ejecting a liquid from/into a container on the platform through the pipette unit. A transfer section () transfers containers between the container storage section and the platform. A controller () controls operations of the dispensing section and the transfer section.
