ABSTRACT:
A sample pretreatment system is equipped with a label sticking apparatus for sticking labels on containers. In this system, a manipulator72grasps and holds a container before label sticking from the pipetting apparatus to convey it to a receiving position on the line L—L along with the raising/lowering path of a container holding device82.The container holding device82is raised by the raising/lowering mechanism86to be positioned at a receiving position in a complexly opened state. After receiving the container, the container holding device82is lowered, and then the container holding device82carries out the closing operation according to the lowering motion, thereby enabling to hold the container reliably irrespective of the diameter of the container. At the label sticking position which is set at a lower position, a label is stuck to the container. Then, the container holding device82is raised, and the transfer mechanism83rotates the labeled container which has been raised to the buffer position on the line B—B for a temporally evacuation. This sample pretreatment system makes it possible to handle containers of various diameters and carry out efficient container conveyance and label sticking with a simple structure.
