<p>A specimen transportation system (100) is configured from linear modules (B) (B1 to B3), turn modules (C) (C1 to C3), and connection modules (D) (D1 to D7). The modules can freely combine with one another, and adjacent modules are connected to one another in a structural manner and so as to be able to communicate with one another. Moreover, the modules form multiple paths through which specimen racks outputted from one specimen output device (A) are transported to multiple analysis devices (E) (E1 to E7). When transporting a specimen rack from an upstream side to a downstream side, each module attaches a destination signal associated with the specimen rack to the specimen rack and transfers the destination signal to the downstream side. As a consequence of each module transporting the specimen rack from the upstream side to the downstream side that corresponds to the destination signal, the specimen rack becomes transported along a path that corresponds to the destination signal.</p> |
