摘要:
Provided is a blood collection tube storage box which performs an operation of preparing a blood collection tube in advance in a blood collection step as a pre-step of a blood collection test. The blood collection tube storage box includes a transferring belt (2), which is brought into abutment with an outer peripheral side surface of a blood collection tube main body (4A) to transfer the blood collection tube main body (4A), a side surface support plate (11), which is brought into point contact with an outer peripheral side surface of the blood collection tube main body (4A) on an opposite side of the transferring belt (2) to support the blood collection tube main body (4A) so that the side surface support plate (11) is opposed to the transferring belt (2), and an inclined support plate (3), which is brought into point contact with a lower end surface edge portion of a blood collection tube cap (10) on the transferring belt (2) side to support the blood collection tube cap (10) in a suspended manner. The above-mentioned mechanism portions are configured as an easily-detachable module. The form of the module allows the storage box to be simplified and downsized, and work in a case of a failure and work for maintenance to be greatly facilitated.
