Abstract: The present invention is to present a pipette tip supplier which is capable of convey the pipette tip smoothly. The pipette tip supplier 30 comprises: container 31 for containing pipette tips 3; separator 36 for separating pipette tips one by one; transporting section 37 for transporting pipette tips separated by the separator 36, one by one, to a first position via a second position and for dropping the transported pipette tips from the first position, the pipette tips transported by the transporting section 37 comprising a preceding pipette tip and a following pipette tip transported after the preceding pipette tip; detector 40e for detecting the following pipette tip at the second position before the following pipette tip arrives at the first position; and controller 2a for controlling the transporting section 37 so as to suspend transporting operation when the detector 40e detects the following pipette tip at the second position.

Abstract: The present invention is to present a pipette tip supplier and a sample analyzer which are capable of increasing an efficiency of eliminating electrification charge of the pipette tip than ever before. The pipette tip supplier comprises: a tip supply mechanism section 32 for containing pipette tips 3; a tip storing section 34 for storing pipette tips 3 supplied from the tip supply mechanism section 32; a static eliminator fan 33 for performing an eliminating operation for eliminating electrification charge of the pipette tips 3 being stored in the tip storing section 34; and a separating mechanism section 36 for performing a separating operation for separating the pipette tips 3 being stored in the tip storing section 34 one by one.
