Chemical reaction cartridge and method using same

A method of using a chemical reaction cartridge, said method comprising:

• providing the chemical reaction cartridge having an elastic member, a substrate, a plurality of holding parts for holding the substances in a hermetically sealed condition, the plurality of holding parts being formed as recesses in said elastic member, a mixing part for mixing the substances with each other in accordance with the deformation of the cartridge, and a discharge part for discharging a mixture produced in the mixing part to the outside of the cartridge,
• applying an external force to the cartridge to thereby deform the cartridge and transfer the substances from said plurality of holding parts to said mixing part,
• mixing the substances in the mixing part, and
• discharging the substances from the cartridge.

A chemical reaction cartridge capable of causing deformation to occur thereto upon application of an external force thereto, and transferring substances contained therein to thereby apply a chemical reaction, said cartridge comprising:

• an elastic member,
• a substrate,
• a holding part which includes a fluid,
• a mixing part which includes fine particles, and
• a discharge part for discharging a mixture of the fluid and fine particles to the outside of the cartridge, in accordance with the deformation of the cartridge,
• wherein the mixture of the fluid and the fine particles is discharged from the discharge part upon application of the external force,
• wherein said holding part and said mixing part are formed as recesses in said elastic member;
• and
• wherein upon application of the external force, the fluid is transferred from said holding part to said mixing part, such that the fluid and fine particles are mixed together.
