First Claim
1. An analytical tool comprising a plurality of flow paths and at least one common path connecting the plurality of flow paths to each other, the plurality of flow paths each including a detection cell for detecting a particular component contained in a sample and being configured to move the sample by capillarity, the common path connecting the plurality of flow paths to each other,wherein each of the plurality of flow paths includes a water stopper for preventing the sample from flowing into the common path.

Abstract
The present invention relates to an analytical tool including a plurality of flow paths 21 each including a detection cell 26 for detecting a particular component contained in a sample and configured to move the sample by capillarity, and a common path 22 connecting the plurality of flow paths 21 to each other. Each of the flow paths 21 includes a water stopper 29 for preventing the sample from flowing into the common path 22. Preferably, the water stopper 29 suppresses the movement of the sample by differentiating a cross sectional area at a target portion in a direction perpendicular to the sample flow direction from a cross sectional area at a portion near the target portion.
