Abstract

A safe and easy handling of a chemical-liquid circuit having various components. The opening/closing unit drive mechanism includes an opening/closing unit holder which detachably holds an opening/closing unit which includes a housing having flow channels and a piston for opening and closing the flow channels which is movably provided to the housing, a hook to be engaged with the piston of the opening/closing unit, which is disposed leaving a space from the opening/closing unit holder, and a linear motion mechanism which moves the hook back and forth. The opening/closing unit holder is movably supported between a first position at which the piston is engaged with the hook and a second position at which the piston is not engaged with the hook.
