Patent ID: 8809070

Claim:
A dispensing method, comprising: storing a first liquid and a second liquid in a first vessel, the second liquid being immiscible with the first liquid and having a lower specific gravity than the first liquid; storing the second liquid in a second vessel; a first suction step which sucks the second liquid contained in the first vessel into a tube through one end of the tube; a second suction step which sucks the first liquid contained in the first vessel into the tube through the one end of the tube so that the tube has the first liquid and the second liquid; a third suction step which sucks the second liquid contained in the first vessel into the tube through the one end of the tube so that in the tube, the first liquid is sandwiched by the second liquid; a first discharge step which discharges the second liquid sucked into the tube in the third suction step into the second vessel in which the second liquid already exists; a second discharge step which discharges the first liquid sucked into the tube in the second suction step into the second liquid contained in the second vessel; and a third discharge step which discharges at least a part of the second liquid sucked into the tube in the first suction step into the second vessel.
