PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To correctly transfer sample vessels of an automatic centrifugal separation apparatus for receiving the sample vessels from various units, performing centrifugal separation on each of the sample vessels and returning the sample vessels again to the various units and to correctly discriminate whether the sample vessels are transferred correctly. SOLUTION: In order to solve the above-mentioned problems a sample vessel setting position is parted vertically from a holding vessel setting position to cause no interference between the mutual positions and the sample vessel is loaded on a holding vessel at a step to support/elevate the holding vessel. The presence/absence of the sample vessel is discriminated correctly by paying attention to the sample vessel setting position, guessing whether the sample vessel is set at the normal or abnormal position from the sample vessel-set position and combining a sensor whose signal is cut off when the sample is set at the normal position with another sensor whose signal is cut off when it is set at the abnormal position.
