There is provided a dispensing mechanism for a liquid to be dispensed that
does not damage microspherical bodies such as an erythrocyte and a
liposome in the liquid to be dispensed when the liquid to be dispensed
such as a sample and test liquid is sucked/discharged with a pipette.
When a liquid to be dispensed of a sample or a test liquid being an object
to be measured includes a microspherical body, and the microspherical
body is one with such property that it may be damaged when being
contacted with a liquid having an osmotic pressure different from that of
the liquid in the microspherical body, the damage of the microspherical
body is prevented by sequentially sucking a gas, a solution exhibiting an
osmotic pressure that does not damage the microspherical body in the
liquid to be dispensed and not having a bad effect on the measurement,
the gas, and the liquid to be dispensed in a pipette the inside of which
is filled with a liquid, because the pipette inside wall is substituted
with the solution having an osmotic pressure that does not damage the
microspherical body.
