Abstract

It is an object of the present invention to provide a container which can execute a reliable work of dispensing and/or agitating on the occasion of aspirating and/or discharging a sample and/or a reagent in a container, by aspirating or discharging in a predetermined quantity without blockading the front end portion of the liquid sucking/discharging line. It is another object of the present invention to provide a container having a simple structure which can realize a high precision inspection for all of the quantity by aspirating all of the quantity in the container, by being capable of discharging all of the quantity in the container without necessity of the surplus of the samples and/or reagents and by treating all of the quantity as a fixed quantity.

The present invention is a container comprising a gap part formed to have a smaller width than a caliber of a front end portion of a liquid sucking/discharging line adapted to be inserted therein and pulled out thereof, at an inside bottom part thereof. The gap part is formed to be a shape being capable of aspirating and discharging all of the quantity of liquid through the front end portion even in a state that the front end portion is disposed in contact with the inside bottom part.
On the occasion of discharging, the container is formed so that reaction between a sample and a reagent can be uniformed by discharging and diffusing aspirated liquid.
