A dispensing apparatus including a suction nozzle having a tip to which a nozzle chip is removably attachable, a moving mechanism for moving the suction nozzle, a suction/discharge pump for supplying a suction/discharge pressure to the suction nozzle, a pressure measurement unit for measuring a pressure in the suction nozzle, and a control unit for controlling amounts of actuation of the moving mechanism and the suction/discharge pump, wherein the suction nozzle is moved toward the surface of a dry analysis element with air being discharged from a tip of a nozzle chip attached to the suction nozzle and the movement of the suction nozzle is stopped at a time point at which the pressure in the suction nozzle is detected to have reached a value corresponding to a predetermined relative distance between the tip of the nozzle chip and the surface of the dry analysis element. |
