Abstract
A chemical analysis system for analyzing a sample liquid spotted on a chemical analysis element includes a blood filtering unit, a spotting mechanism which spots the filtrate of the blood filtering unit onto the chemical analysis element as the sample liquid, and an analyzer which analyzes the filtrate on the chemical analysis element. The blood filtering unit includes a filter which filters whole blood to obtain filtrate, a holder which holds the filter and has a blood inlet and a filtrate outlet, a suction system which is removably connected to the filtrate outlet side of the holder and applies a negative pressure to the holder from the filtrate outlet side, and a filtrate receiving container disposed on the filtrate outlet side of the holder to receive the filtrate.
