A liquid delivery apparatushas a rotary substrate. The substrateformed with a fluid passageA for communicating a supply chamberA and target chamberA. An inlet end portionat which the fluid passageA is connected to the chamberA extends in a clockwise direction Rof rotational directions of the substrate. The inlet end portionholds a liquidin the chamberA by a capillary force. The rotation drive unitrotates the substrateso that an inertial force exceeding the capillary force and directed to the clockwise direction Racts on the liquidin the inlet end portion. Delivery behavior control of microfluid with a high degree of flexibility can be achieved.

Liquid delivery apparatus and liquid delivery method

The present invention provides a blood processing apparatus that can introduce a metered quantity of a blood sample into a chamber and does not require an opening linked to the chamber to be closed after the introduction of the blood sample. An introducing chamber, an injection port, and an air port are formed in a rotatable platform of a blood processing apparatus. The injection port links the introducing chamber with the outside of the rotatable platform. A blood sample is introduced from the injection port into the introducing chamber. A blood coagulant is held on the port wall surface of the air port and/or around a portion of the surface of the rotatable platform where the air port is open.
