Test chip and test chip system

A test chip system, comprising:

• a test chip;
• a pressure supply;
• and
• a controller device for connecting the pressure from said pressure supply to said test chip,
• wherein
• said test chip including:
• a reaction flow path for containing a plurality of beads having mutually different types of probes fixed thereon;
• solution flow paths for containing predetermined solutions including a sample solution and washing solution;
• and
• a solution detector unit for detecting whether or not a solution has been flowed through said solution flow path;
• said controller device supplying the pressure supplied from said pressure supply to said test chip based on the solution detection signal detected by said solution detector unit, so as to flow said solutions sequentially through said reaction flow path.

A test chip, comprising:

• a reaction flow path for containing a plurality of beads having mutually different types of probes fixed thereon;
• first, second, and third delivery ports, connectable to a pressure supply or to the atmospheric pressure;
• a waste drain path having one end connected to said first delivery port and the other end connected to said reaction flow path, for containing the used sample solution;
• a sample flow path having one end connected to said second delivery port and the other end connected to said reaction flow path for containing a sample solution;
• a washing solution flow path having one end connected to said third delivery port and the other end connected to said reaction flow path for containing washing solution;
• and
• a solution detector unit provided in each of said sample flow path, said waste drain path and said washing solution flow path for detecting whether or not the solution has been flowed through said flow paths;
• wherein:
• two delivery ports of said first, second, and third delivery ports are connected to either the pressure from a pressure supply or to an atmospheric pressure, in accordance with the solution detection signals output from said solution detector unit.
