Reaction kit treating equipment

Abstract

Upper space on the front surface side of a reaction plate, provided with at least a reaction container causing reaction in a sample and a reagent container containing a reagent used for reaction with the sample, is covered with an airtight cover. A dispensation tip () for transporting liquid on the reaction plate is arranged in such a way that the distal end side is located on the inside of the covered space and the proximal portion is located on the outside. In order to handle a reaction kit () supported movably in the perpendicular direction and in the in-plane direction with respect to the front surface of the reaction plate, a table () for attaching the reaction kit (), a drive unit () engaging with the proximal end of the dispensation tip () and driving the movement and the dispensation operation of the tip (), a detection unit () for optically detecting a reaction product by receiving light generated through interaction with the reaction product on the reaction plate or the light generated from the reaction product, and a control section for controlling at least the dispensation operation by the drive unit () and the detection operation by the detection unit () are provided.
