Abstract: A septum includes a plurality of tubular portions that are fittable to the inner sides of the opening portions of a plurality of arrayed containers, and slits that are formed in the respective bottom portions of the tubular portions. The septum adopts an insertion state where in a state where each of the tubular portions is fitted in the opening portion of the container, a thin tube that aspirates or discharges a liquid from within or into the container is inserted through the tubular portion into the container and a pulling out state where the thin tube is pulled out from within the container to the outside with respect to the tubular portion. When the pulling out state is shifted to the insertion state, the slit is opened by the elastic deformation of the tubular portion by pressing from the thin tube to allow the insertion of the thin tube.
