PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a conveyer capable of detecting a stepping position of a sample rack by simple and inexpensive structure, capable of smoothing stepping of the sample rack, and capable of miniaturization. SOLUTION: This conveyer 41 makes the sample rack 10 holding a plurality of sample containers 11 with a prescribed array pitch step along an arrayed direction of the plurality of sample containers in every desired pitch. This conveyer 41 includes a single position detecting sensor 44 for noncontactly detecting the stepping position of the sample rack, and a controller for controlling the conveyer 41 to make the sample rack 10 step in the desired pitch, based on a position signal from the position detecting sensor.
