• a degassing step of sucking a gas inside the at least one dispensing container by the pump part to remove the gas inside the at least one dispensing container and discharging the gas inside the pump part to the atmosphere through the first degassing part;
• a suction step of sucking the cell suspension from the container by the pump part and storing the cell suspension in the buffer part;
• and
• a dispensing step of delivering a part or an entire of the cell suspension stored in the buffer part to the at least one dispensing container by the pump part.
