Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A liquid handling apparatus includes a substrate that includes a groove which is a channel through which a liquid can be moved on the basis of a capillary phenomenon, and a film that is bonded to the substrate to cover the opening of the groove, in which the channel has a main channel and a guide channel, the groove has a main groove that is the main channel by the film being bonded to the substrate, and a guide groove that is the guide channel by the film being bonded to the substrate, opens on a lateral surface of the main groove, and has a width narrower than the width of the main groove, and the guide groove is placed in an area on a film side of the lateral surface of the main groove and shallower than the main groove.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A liquid handling apparatus comprising: a substrate that includes a groove which is a channel through which a liquid can be moved on the basis of a capillary phenomenon by an opening of the groove being closed; and a film that is bonded to the substrate to cover the opening of the groove, wherein the channel has a main channel and a guide channel disposed along the main channel, wherein the main channel comprises a first bottom surface, a pair of f…
