Abstract
The objective of the present invention is to provide a fluid handling device capable of easily isolating droplets. This objective is achieved by means of a fluid handling device which includes a first flow passage through the interior of which, when a fluid containing a droplet is delivered, the droplet can move, a first chamber which captures the droplet moving through the first flow passage, a second chamber into which the droplet captured by the first chamber can move, and a second flow passage providing communication between the first chamber and the second chamber, wherein the second flow passage is capable of selectively allowing the droplet to pass, or restricting passage of the droplet.
Claims10
A fluid handling device, comprising:
- a first channel through which, when a fluid containing a droplet is caused to flow, the droplet is movable;
- a first chamber formed by widening of the first channel, the first chamber being configured to capture the droplet moving through the first channel in a state where the first chamber is disposed to widen vertically above the first channel;
- a second chamber to which the droplet captured in the first chamber is movable;
- and
- a second channel that communicates between the first chamber and the second chamber, wherein
- passage and restriction of passage of the droplet through the second channel are able to be selectively performed.
