The filter includes a partition between the first container and the second container and a held portion. With a direction in which the first and second containers align defined as a first direction, and directions perpendicular to each other on a cross-section perpendicular to the first direction defined as a second direction and a third direction, when the cartridge is positioned in an orientation in which the second chamber is above the first chamber, one of the first container and the second container includes an inclined surface that descends toward the opposing region, as viewed in the third direction, with a decreasing distance from the opposing region in the second direction, and the other container includes a holding surface. The held portion includes a first held part extending in the second direction.
