MICROCHANNEL CHIP AND CONVERGING DEVICE
First Claim
1. A microchannel chip, comprising:
- a first channel where a first liquid of a first quantity is transported from one end side to an opposite end side;
a port section having a capillary force smaller than a capillary force of the first channel, the port section to which a second liquid of a given quantity is supplied from outside for accumulating the second liquid; and
a second channel having a capillary force larger than the capillary force of the first channel, the second channel connecting the first channel and the port section through a first opening provided in a side of the first channel and a second opening provided in the port section,wherein the second channel checks flowing out of the second liquid accumulated in the port section to the first channel by a Laplace pressure valve until the first liquid arrives at the first opening, andthe second channel converges the second liquid of a second quantity resulting from subtracting a volume of the second channel from the given quantity into the first liquid of the first quantity after the first liquid reaches the first opening.
