An alignment transferring unit (30) transfers measuring containers (60) aligned in an alignment rail (32). The measuring containers (60) are supported by suspending on the alignment rail (32) by way of a step portion (66) that is formed by a trunk portion and a neck portion being in contact with the top face (32a) of the alignment rail (32). The alignment rail (32) is disposed to incline down toward the terminal end. The alignment transferring unit (30) has a push-up plate (34) abutting the bottom of the measuring containers (60) supported in the alignment rail (32) and transfers the measuring containers (60) toward the terminal end of the alignment rail (32) by moving the push-up plate (34) or the alignment rail (32) up and down so that a state in which the step portions (66) of the measuring containers (60) are in contact with the top face (32a) of the alignment rail alternates repeatedly with a state in which the step portions (66) are not in contact with the top face (32a) of the alignment rail. |
