Abstract
A microchip for chemical reaction capable of rapidly performing an experiment irrespective of the types of the chemical substrates used for the experiment under various experimental conditions, wherein a horizontal communication path comprising a plurality of chemical reaction pool portions and grooves communicating these chemical reaction pool portions to each other is formed in the surface of a diamond substrate of minute size forming a substrate, a vertical communication path comprising through-holes vertically communicating the chemical reaction pool portions to each other is provided in the diamond substrate , and an opening/closing valve is installed at a communicating portion, and further heating/cooling portions such as a Peltier device are installed at those positions corresponding to the chemical reaction pool portions , respectively, whereby a variety of experiments can be performed in a very small space without being restricted by the types of chemical substrates and by varying the experimental conditions.
