Abstract
A microchip which includes, a liquid flow path through which a liquid sample including a sample flows; and a gas flow path in which compressed gas flows, wherein liquid sample inlet which communicates with the starting end of the liquid flow path and a gas supply port which communicates with a terminal of the gas flow path are formed on the same plane, and a sealing material is disposed so as to enclose the liquid sample inlet and the gas supply port.
Claims12
A microchip comprising:
- a liquid flow path through which a liquid sample including a sample flows;
- and
- a gas flow path through which compressed gas flows,
- wherein liquid sample inlet which communicates with the starting end of the liquid flow path and a gas supply port which communicates with a terminal of the gas flow path are formed on the same plane, and
- wherein a sealing material is disposed so as to enclose the liquid sample inlet and the gas supply port.

A method of supplying a liquid sample comprising:
- causing an opening end which is provided on a top of a vessel in which a liquid sample including a sample is filled to come into close contact with a sealing material which is disposed at one surface of a microchip, and the vessel to be directly connected to the microchip;
- causing the liquid sample in the vessel to come into contact with a liquid sample inlet which communicates with a starting end of a liquid flow path which is formed in an area which is enclosed by the sealing material of the microchip by rotating the microchip in a state where the vessel is directly connected thereto;
- and
- supplying compressed gas into the vessel from a gas supply port which is formed in an area which communicates with a terminal of the gas flow path, and is enclosed by the sealing material of the microchip, by introducing the compressed gas into a gas inlet which is provided in the microchip and communicates with the starting end of the gas flow path.
