Abstract
During tip transportation, due to friction between tips and other components or differences in level during delivery, the tips may be caught and the transportation may stop. To solve this problem, a pipette tip alignment device is provided with a supply unit that supplies loaded tips. The supply unit includes two plates, a rail that is disposed at the leading end of the plates and supports the tips, and a rotating body that supplies the tips to the rail provided with grooves for storing the tips, wherein the plates are driven to widen the rail.
