To provide a holding member which facilitates taking in and out chemical container components from a storage part, and can suppress unexpected detachment of the components from the storage part, and effectively perform sterilization treatment for the components.SOLUTION: A holding member includes: a plate-like base plate part having a first surface and a second surface; and a plurality of storage parts penetrating into the first surface and the second surface of the base plate part, cylindrically projecting to a first surface side, and storing chemical container components in the cylindrical inside. The storage part comprises: a first opening end part for forming an inlet/outlet of the components at a projection tip of the storage part; a swollen part for forming an end-spreading opening toward the first opening end part due to that an internal surface of the storage part at a first opening end part side is swollen to the cylindrical inside continuously from the first opening end part; a second opening end part formed on the second surface of the base plate part in a base end of the storage part; and a tapered part in which an internal surface of the storage part at a second opening end part side is formed in a tapered shape to the second opening end part.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2【課題】格納部に薬品容器用部品を出し入れしやすく、かつ、格納部からの部品の不意の脱離を抑制することが可能であるとともに、部品の滅菌処理を有効に行うことが可能な保持部材を提供する。【解決手段】第1の表面及び第2の表面を有する板状の基板部と、基板部の第1の表面及び第2の表面を貫通して第1の表面側に向かって筒状に突出し、その筒状内に薬品容器用部品が格納される複数の格納部とを備える保持部材である。格納部は、格納部の突出先端に部品の出し入れ口を形成する第1の開口端部と、第1の開口端部側の格納部の内壁面が第1の開口端部から連続して筒状内側に膨出していることで、第1の開口端部に向かって末広がり状の開口を形成する膨出部と、格納部の基端に基板部の第2の表面で形成された第2の開口端部と、第2の開口端部側の格納部の内壁面が第2の開口端部に向かって尻窄まり状に形成された尻窄み部とを備える。【選択図】図2
