First Claim
1. In an improved apparatus comprising a delivery device including a single probe and being operative to suck at least one kind of liquid such as a plurality of reagents, samples or the like, from respective vessels into the probe and deliver the liquid thus sucked from the same probe into reaction vessels, the improvement comprises:
- providing said probe to be movable along a given moving path, said vessels containing said liquids to be delivered being fixedly arranged at a plurality of predetermined sucking positions along the moving path of said probe and in which said reaction vessels are movable along a path which is crossed with the moving path of said probe at a discharging position, and in which provision is made of means for locating said probe at any sucking position to suck a given amount of liquid contained in the vessel situated at the relevant sucking position and then moving the probe into said discharging position to discharge the sucked liquid into a reaction vessel situated at the discharging position.

Abstract
An apparatus comprising a delivering device including a probe and operative to suck at least one kind of liquids such as a plurality of reagents, samples or the like from respective vessels into the probe and deliver the liquid thus sucked from the probe into a reaction vessel. In such kind of delivering apparatus, provision is made of the improvement in which the probe is movable along a given moving path, the vessels containing the liquids to be delivered being provided with suction openings arranged at a plurality of fixed positions along the moving path of the probe, and in which the reaction vessel is movable along a path adjacent to and crossed with the moving path of the probe, and in which provision is made of means for locating the probe at any sucking position or at a delivering position with respect to the reaction vessel where the moving path of the probe is adjacent to or crossed with the moving path of the reaction vessel.
