Abstract
An embodiment of the present invention provides a microfluidic device into which fluid can be more easily introduced. A microfluidic device () is configured such that: (i) an upper substrate () is bonded to a lower substrate () via a sealing pattern () in such a manner that at least a portion of an edge of the upper substrate () is located inward of an edge of the lower substrate (); and (ii) the sealing pattern () includes at least one gap () that is provided at a position where the edge of the upper substrate () is located inward of the edge of the lower substrate ().
