PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a conveyance apparatus for a tubular body, by which the tube body for preparatively separating and dispensing is taken out one by one so as to be fed to the side of a preparatively separating and dispensing stage. SOLUTION: When chips 11 for preparatively separating and dispensing provided with flanges 11a are charged collectively into a storage box 12 the chips 11 for preparatively separating and dispensing are taken out automatically in a state that they are sandwiched one by one between protruding stripes 22a which are installed so as to protrude from an endless belt 13 at a set pitch. After that, the chips 11 are conveyed by a stage feeding conveyor 15 to the side of a preparatively separating and dispensing stage in a suspended state that the flanges 11a are supported. Thereby, the labor to insert the chips 11 one by one into a rack by the manual operation of an operator is not required. As a result, an automatic specimen pretreatment conveyance system can be automated further.
