CELL TRANSFER DEVICE AND CELL TRANSFER METHOD

The cell transfer device includes a head group including a plurality of heads to which tips for suctioning and discharging cells are attached and which are capable of moving along a first direction; a head unit in which the head group is installed and which is capable of moving in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction and in a third direction orthogonal to both the first direction and the second direction; and a plurality of drive motors which are mounted on the head unit so as to each correspond to each of the heads and which generate driving force to cause the head to move along the first direction. The plurality of drive motors are separately arranged on one side and the other side in the third direction with the head group provided therebetween in a plan view from the first direction. The head group includes at least a first head and a second head adjacent to the first head in the second direction. The first head is driven by the drive motor arranged on the one side in the third direction, and the second head is driven by the drive motor arranged on the other side in the third direction.
