Abstract:
1. A device for automatically taking out a sample liquid contained in a reservoir and measuring the viscosity of the liquid, the device comprising: a base body; a transferring part provided on a stage of the base body, for taking the sample liquid out of the reservoir and supplying the sample liquid, the transferring part comprising (i) a reservoir receiving member for receiving the reservoir, (ii) a liquid supplying member including a needle section positioned adjacent to the reservoir received in the reservoir receiving member and a needle fixing section for fixing the needle section, for supplying the sample liquid from the reservoir to the viscosity measuring part, (iii) a distance adjusting member for adjusting the distance between the reservoir and the needle section; and (iv) a pressurized gas supply member for supplying a pressurized gas into the reservoir through the needle section; a viscosity measuring part provided on the stage, for measuring the viscosity of the sample liquid supplied from the transferring part; a control part for controlling operations of the transferring part and the viscosity measuring part; and a display part for displaying the result measured by the viscosity measuring part.
