A dispensing apparatus is which, even when a small amount of a medium is to be dispensed, can satisfactorily dispense the medium. The medium dispensing apparatus (1) has: a laboratory dish transporting mechanism (20) which transports a laboratory dish (10) along a predetermined path; a movable table (30) which is disposed in the laboratory dish transportation path by the laboratory dish transporting mechanism (20), with being upward inclined by a given angle &thgr; toward a downstream side in a transportation direction of the laboratory dish (10), and which moves in circular motion in a horizontal plane along predetermined forward and backward directions, thereby moving the laboratory dish (10) placed on the table in circular motion along a horizontal direction, and in the forward and backward directions, in a state where the laboratory dish is upward inclined toward the downstream side in the transportation direction; and a medium dispensing mechanism (50) for dispensing a given amount of a medium to a portion in the laboratory dish (10) placed on the movable table (30), in a manner that at least part of the dispensed medium makes contact with the inner face of the side wall of the laboratory dish (10), the portion being on the downstream side in the transportation direction with respect to the center of the laboratory dish.

A device for inspecting the external appearance of solid medicine having a solid medicine supplying section, a first drum-shaped conveying section for conveying solid medicines supplied by the solid medicine supplying section, at equal intervals so that one surface of each piece of solid medicine is observed. A second drum-shaped conveying section receives the solid medicine from the first drum-shaped conveying section and conveys the solid medicine at equal intervals so that the opposite surface of each solid medicine is observed. First and second observing units are provided adjacent to said first and second drum-shaped conveying sections for observing both surfaces of each piece of solid medicine respectively. A third observing unit is employed for observing the thickness of each piece of solid medicine conveyed by the first and second drum-shaped conveying sections at least before the piece of solid medicine reaches the second observing unit. A discriminating circuit determines whether each piece of solid medicine is acceptable or unacceptable according to observation results provided by the first, second and third observing units and a memory stores every solid medicine discrimination signal outputted on the basis of the observation results provided by the first and third observing units. The discrimination signal based on the observation result provided by the second observing unit and the discrimination signals stored in said memory are utilized for general determination as to whether the external appearance of each piece of solid medicine is acceptable or unacceptable.

A centrifugal tumbling granulating apparatus 1 comprises a fixed wall 7 having a grain contact portion 7a which is in contact with powder grains 2 and of which a horizontal section is formed in a circular shape, and a rotating disk 5 provided a clearance 12 away from an inner side of the fixed wall 7 and rotating in a horizontal direction by a motor 13, wherein an air supply device 21 for supplying drying air 22 to an upper surface side of the rotating disk 5 is provided above the rotating disk 5. The air supply device 21 has a cylindrical straight tube portion 25, and an air supply port 23 formed in a cone shape, and is disposed in a centrifugal tumbling chamber 6 to be movable in an up-and-down direction. During a granulating step, the air supply device 21 stops to supply the dry air 22 and waits at an upper position H. After the granulation processing, the air supply device is lowered at a lower position L and supplies the dry air 22 onto the rotating disk 5 to dry granulated substances. As a result, the granulating apparatus capable of efficiently obtaining, in a single apparatus, spherical particles of which each particle size is small and which exist within a narrow range of particle size distribution and of which deviation from spherical form is small is provided.
