1. A sample preparation apparatus comprising:
an ultrasonic vibrating unit which applies ultrasonic vibration to a sample including aggregated cells held in a sample container; a sample preparation unit which prepares a measurement sample by mixing the sample including the aggregated cells to which the ultrasonic vibration is applied and a predetermined reagent; a container transporting unit which transports the sample container holding the sample including the aggregated cells from the ultrasonic vibrating unit to the sample preparation unit; a controller configured to control the container transporting unit to:
raise the sample container at the ultrasonic vibrating unit to a first position above the ultrasonic vibrating unit;move the sample container from the first position to a second position above the sample preparation unit; lower the sample container from the second position so as to set the sample container in the sample preparation unit; and a container mounting part which mounts the sample container, wherein the container transporting unit transports the sample container from the container mounting part to the ultrasonic vibrating unit, and the ultrasonic vibrating unit, the sample preparation unit, and the container mounting part are arranged on the same circumference.
