After the sample selection work is completed, the basket is stored in the storage cabin 2 through the lifting mechanism 3. The lifting mechanism 3 can also seal the basket opening on the operation cabin 1, thereby simplifying the internal structure of the operation cabin 1.

[0040] Specifically, it includes an operation cabin 1 and a storage cabin 2. The operation cabin 1 is arranged above the storage cabin 2, and the operation cabin 1 can store samples in the storage cabin 2;

[0041] The operating cabin 1 is provided with a lifting mechanism 3 , which can lift the basket in the operating cabin 1 , and the lifting mechanism 3 can seal the basket opening, which is connected to the storage cabin 2 .

[0060] Preferably, the lid opening mechanism 8 can open the lid of the transfer tank, and the sample can be transferred by sucking the sample through the suction mechanism 9. The sample in the transfer tank can be placed on the biological plate rack on the front push plate mechanism 41, and then sent into the basket, and then the basket is placed in the storage cabin 2 for storage.
