A fluid handling system includes a fluid handling device including an opening for introducing a fluid or discharging the fluid; a tube including a flange, where one end of the tube is for connection to the opening, and the other end of the tube is for connection to an introduction device for supplying the fluid or to a discharge device for discharging the fluid; a support member including a first through hole into which the tube is inserted, and movably supporting the tube; and a first elastic member including a second through hole into which the tube is inserted, and holding a part of the tube while the first elastic member is in contact with the flange and the fluid handling device or the support member.

Fluid handling system

A fluid handling device includes: a first channel through which liquid flows by capillarity; a liquid reservoir which communicates with an upstream end of the first channel and stores liquid; a liquid introduction part which communicates with the liquid reservoir and includes a taper part whose diameter decreases from an opening part toward the liquid reservoir; a stop valve disposed on a downstream end of the first channel and including a step part where a cross-sectional area of the channel in a direction orthogonal to a direction in which liquid flows discontinuously increases; and a second channel which communicates with a downstream end of the first channel, the second channel being a channel through which fluid flows.
