A buckle pivotally arranged in a movable clamp of a first tube holder is attached with play to a buckle pivotally arranged in a movable clamp of a second tube holder When tubes are held in the first and second tube holders and release of the tubes from the holders and is prevented by a movement of a plunger in correspondence of excitation and demagnetization of a solenoid for a predetermined period of operation of the apparatus after holding the tubes (i.e., for a period required from the locking of the buckle until the completion of moving-down of a wafer holder).
