<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve the space efficiency of a biological sample-processing apparatus. <P>SOLUTION: A biological sample-processing apparatus 20 is designed such that a door 24 of a sample-processing chamber 22 receives a plurality of reagent supply tanks 26. The reagent supply tanks have conduits 28 in fluid communication with reagent buffer tanks 30 in the sample-processing chamber. At least one conduit connects the reagent supply tanks to the reagent buffer tanks through a hollow pivot part 32. When an operator adds reagents, the operator only needs to open the door to access to the reagent supply tanks. When a plurality of biological sample-processing apparatuses are arranged in parallel, more apparatuses can be placed in the same space. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
