Abstract
A filter filling apparatus serving as a system for manufacturing a tip device according to the present invention comprises, for example, on a base inside a casing, a sheet holder with a sheet-like filter carried thereon and a tip rack where a plurality of tips are held in a matrix-like configuration. Furthermore, a small-diameter filter punching-discharging mechanism having a plurality of small-diameter pipes disposed in a row and movable in the vertical direction and a filter push-in mechanism having a plurality of small-diameter rods disposed in a row and movable in the vertical direction are provided above the sheet holder and the tip rack. A cylinder connected to a nitrogen gas supply unit is connected via piping to the small-diameter pipes.
Claims23
