Liquid ejection apparatus, liquid ejection method, dispensing apparatus, and compound introduction apparatus

A liquid ejection method using for a liquid ejection apparatus including:

• an ejection unit having an ejection part, a screen, and an ejection energy generation element that ejects a liquid from the ejection part by using a principle of inkjet ejection into an internal space in a storage part capable of storing the ejected liquid;
• a stage on which to dispose a container including a plurality of storage parts;
• and
• a movement unit capable of moving the stage and the ejection unit relative to each other to move the ejection unit to a position at which the ejection unit ejects the liquid to the storage part of the container disposed on the stage,
• the method comprising:
• when the ejecting unit ejects the liquid to each of the storage parts, covering with the screen opening portions of all of the storage parts to thereby screen internal spaces in all of the storage parts from an external space in such a state that the liquid is ejectable to the storage part to which the liquid is to be ejected.

A dispensing apparatus comprising:

• a stage on which to dispose a container including a plurality of storage parts capable of storing a liquid;
• an ejection unit configured to be replaceable, filled with the liquid, and having an ejection part, a screen, and an ejection energy generation element that ejects the liquid from the ejection part by using a principle of inkjet ejection;
• and
• a movement unit configured to move the stage and the ejection unit relative to each other to move the ejection unit to a position at which the ejection unit ejects the liquid to the storage part of the container disposed on the stage,
• wherein the liquid is dispensed into each of the storage parts by ejecting the liquid into an internal space in the storage part from the ejection unit moved to an opening portion of the storage part by the movement unit, and
• wherein when the ejection unit ejects the liquid to each of the storage parts, the screen covers opening portions of all of the storage parts to thereby screen internal spaces in all of the storage parts from an external space in such a state that the liquid is ejectable to the storage part to which the liquid is to be ejected.
