Dispensing apparatus, dispensing method, and automatic analyzer

摘要

A dispensing apparatus (10) includes a dispensing nozzle (11) that moves between a first position and a second position. The dispensing nozzle sucks in a liquid specimen including a reagent at the first position and dispenses the liquid specimen into a vessel (6) located at the second position. An agent applicator (18) is located on the path of movement of the dispensing nozzle. The agent applicator applies, to the discharge end portion of the dispensing nozzle, an agent having a low affinity for the liquid specimen than the inner surface of the dispensing nozzle.
