PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and device for performing the removal of supernatant liquid, discharging whole liquid, agitating and mixing specimen liquid in the wells of a microplate by a microplate robot used for a protein synthesis, etc., simply and surely. SOLUTION: This method for automatically discharging waste liquid of a microplate and agitating the same is provided by as follows: the removal of the supernatant from the wells of the microplate is performed by covering an absorbing pad built with an absorbing material on the surface of the microplate after the completion of processes such as a centrifugal separation treatment, etc., fixing the plate on a stage capable of moving up and down and reversely or positively rotating, moving the stage in the upper direction, reversely rotating and then falling it down to a prescribed positions to make that the supernatant liquid is absorbed in the absorbing pad. In the case of discharging the whole liquid as the waste liquid, performing the above process without using the absorption pad. Further in the case of performing the agitation and mixing of specimen liquid, the microplate is fixed on the stage by using the microplate having a lid, moved to the upper direction and a reverse and positive rotations are performed at least≥1 time.
