Abstract

The present invention provides a microchip that allows to highly accurately control a transported amount of a fluid. The microchip 1 includes: a container 3 encapsulating a liquid reagent X (fluid) filled in the container 3; and a substrate 2 including an accommodation section 4 in which the container 3 is placed. The accommodation section 4 includes a top surface and a bottom surface 2b. The accommodation section 4 is opened to the top surface of the substrate 2. At least a part of the inflow passage 5 that is connected to the accommodation section 4 and into which a medium for transporting the liquid reagent X flows is provided on the substrate 2. At least a part of the outflow passage 6 that is connected to the accommodation section 4 and through which the liquid reagent X flows out is provided on the substrate 2. The microchip 1 further includes a sheet member 7 that is provided on the top surface of the substrate 2 so as to close the opening of the accommodation section 4.
