Abstract: A container has a tubular form, and has gel-like medium layers and liquid layers alternately stacked in a longitudinal direction. Magnetic particles, having a target substance immobilized thereon and loaded inside the container, can be moved sequentially through the gel-like medium layers and the liquid layers by moving an external magnet. The container has an information holding part that holds identification information. The identification information is correlated to a control program product for moving the magnet.

Abstract: A magnet is disposed close to and outside a container held by a container holding part, and relatively moves along the container, so as to move the magnetic particles in the container by a magnetic force. A housing accommodates the magnet and the container holding part in the housing in a state where a position of the magnet relatively moving along the container is not visually recognizable from the outside. A display unit is provided on the housing so as to be visually recognizable from the outside and has light emitting regions that can emit light. A processing step execution unit sequentially executes a plurality of processing steps by relatively moving the magnet. When the plurality of processing steps are sequentially executed, a light emission control unit causes the light emitting regions to emit light according to a position of the magnet.
