1. A support unit for a microfluidic system, comprising:
- a first support;
a first adhesive layer provided on a surface of the first support; and
a first hollow filament group constituted by a plurality of hollow filaments laid on a surface of the first adhesive layer and respectively functioning as a plurality of flow channel layers of the microfluidic system;
a second support; and
a second adhesive layer provided on a surface of the second support, wherein the first adhesive layer and second adhesive layer are stuck together with the first hollow filament group being therebetween,wherein a shape of each of said hollow filaments along its longitudinal axis is curved,wherein each of the hollow filaments has an open beginning end and an open ending end and each of the hollow filaments is continuously hollow from the beginning end to the ending end,wherein the plurality of hollow filaments comprise hollow filaments that have a beginning end which is exposed and extends from the first support and that have an ending end which is exposed and extends from the first support andwherein the beginning end and the ending end are each shorter than a length of an unexposed portion of the plurality of hollow filaments.
