Description
図1〜図3は、本発明の一実施の形態に係るマイクロ流路チップ100の構成を示す図である。図1Aは、マイクロ流路チップ100の平面図であり、図1Bは、側面図であり、図1Cは、正面図である。図2Aは、図1Aに示されるA−A線の断面図であり、図2Bは、図1Aに示されるB−B線の断面図であり、図2Cは、図2Aに示される破線で示された領域の部分拡大断面図である。図3Aは、基板110の平面図であり、図3Bは、底面図であり、図3Cは、正面図であり、図3Dは、側面図である。
例えば、基板110は、前述した樹脂を用いた射出成形法により作製されうる。そして、マイクロ流路チップ100は、作製した基板110の第1溝111、第2溝112および第1凹部113が形成された面に対してフィルム120を熱圧着によって接合することによって作製されうる。
次に、マイクロ流路チップ100の取扱方法(使用方法)について説明する。図4および図5は、マイクロ流路チップ100の使用方法を説明するための図である。図4は、マイクロチップを液体導入部150に挿入した様子を示す断面図である。図5A〜Dは、マイクロ流路チップに2種類の液体を導入する過程を示す図である。なお、図5では、第1流路130、ストップバルブ160および第2流路170のみ示している。
本実施の形態のマイクロ流路チップ100は、第1テーパ部151を含む液体導入部150が液溜部140に連通しており、第1流路130にはストップバルブ160が配置されている。そして、第1流路130の途中まで液体を圧入するため、導入する液体の粘度(特性)に関わらず、短時間で液体を所定の位置まで導入することができる。
