The present invention provides a device for manufacturing a supporting body to be used in cell immobilization, which enables a supporting body in which needle-like bodies are placed on a base to be easily manufactured. The manufacturing device (2) is provided with a base (10), a holder (4), an insertion guide (6) and an alignment mechanism. The base (10) is hold by the holder (4). Several openings (15) are formed in the base (10) and needle-like bodies (20) are inserted into these openings (15) and immobilized. The insertion guide (6) is located adjacent to the holder (4) and is provided with slots (12) for mounting several needle-like bodies (12) almost in parallel These slots (12), in which the needle-like bodies (20) will be mounted, are formed in the insertion guide (6) so as to correspond to the position of the openings (15). The alignment mechanism moves the insertion guide (6) so that feed openings (12a) become adjacent to the openings (15). After the feed openings (12a) have been moved adjacent to the openings(15), the needle-like bodies (20) are introduced in the openings (15) and inserted in the base (10) so as to form the supporting body. |
