A holding member for a urine sampling container for supporting the container when taking urine samples.

  The sample stirring device stirs the sample contained in the sample container by rotationally driving the driving roller (2A).

A sample is taken from the base melt in a sample vessel which is in thermal equilibrium with the sample melt before solidification commences.

  The configuration enables the sample stirring device to stably rotate the sample container such as a blood collecting tube.
