Abstract: The present invention relates to analytical apparatus comprising: a passage (45) in which an analytical tool (2) is moved from above to below; and a movement block (51), made capable of reciprocatory movement in the horizontal directions (D1, D2), for moving the analytical tool (2) incoming through the passage (45) in the direction (D1). This analytical apparatus is constructed such that, by erecting the analytical tool (2) on the movement block (51) positioned directly below the outlet (45B) of the passage (45) and causing the movement block (51) to move in the D1 or D2 direction, the analytical tool (2) is tipped over, and the analytical tool (2) is placed in a horizontal condition on the movement block (51).

Abstract: A sample stirring device of the present invention includes a driving roller and two follower rollers for coming into contact with a sample container including a cylindrical portion for containing a sample to be stirred. The driving roller is driven for rotation to stir the sample contained in the sample container. The two follower rollers have rotation axes inclined with respect to an axial direction of the cylindrical portion. This arrangement allows the sample container such as a blood collection tube to be rotated stably.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a test tool feeder (X1) including a storage portion for storing a plurality of test tools (4A, 4B), and a transporting member (2) provided with at least one loading portion (21, 22) for loading the test tools (4A, 4B) stored in the storage portion, where the transporting member transports the test tools (4A, 4B) one by one. The storage portion includes a plurality of storage spaces (11, 12) each storing a plurality of test tools (4A, 4B). Preferably, in the test tool feeder (X1), with respect to each of the storage spaces (11, 12), selection can be made between a state in which the test tools (4A, 4B) are taken out from the storage space (11, 12) and a state in which the test tools (4A, 4B) are not taken out from the storage space.
