LIQUID TRANSPORTING DEVICE
First Claim
1. A liquid transporting device comprising a table on an upper surface of which are detachably mounted a storing member having a plurality of storage holes to store liquids therein and a discharge receiving member having a plurality of storage holes into which liquids are discharged, sucking/discharging mechanism for sucking and discharging a liquid in a desired amount, a control unit for transporting the liquid from the storing member to the discharge receiving member in accordance with a previously incorporate program while relatively moving the sucking/discharging means mechanism and the table, input device for inputting commands to the control unit, and alarm signal notifying device,the liquid transporting device enabling work to be performed on the storing member outside the table and/or the discharge receiving member outside the table,wherein the control unit stores, as first ID information, ID information of the storing member and/or the discharge receiving member, which is a work target of the previously incorporate program, stores, as second ID information, ID information of the storing member and/or the discharge receiving member mounted on the table, and determines whether the first ID information and the second ID information are identical, when transporting work is performed, wherein the transporting work is executed when both the first ID information and the second ID information are identical, and wherein the alarm signal notifying device issues a signal for prompting replacement of the storing member and/or the discharge receiving member mounted on the table and notifies the ID information of the storing member and/or the discharge receiving member outside the table, which is the work target of the previously incorporate program, when the both are different.

Abstract
A liquid transporting device capable of transporting a liquid, such as dispensing or distributing a liquid, to microplates in number larger than a value mountable on a table. The liquid transporting device comprises a table on an upper surface of which a storing member and a discharge receiving member are detachably mounted, sucking/discharging means, a control unit for transporting a liquid in accordance with a previously incorporate program while relatively moving the sucking/discharging means and the table, input means, and alarm signal notifying means. The control unit has a function of determining whether ID information of the storing member and/or the discharge receiving member, which is a work target of the previously incorporate program, is identical to ID information of the storing member and/or the discharge receiving member mounted on the table. The control unit continues transporting work when both data of the ID information are identical at the same position, and issues an error signal and notifies the ID information of the storing member and/or the discharge receiving member, which is the work target of the previously incorporate program, through the alarm signal notifying means when the both are different.
