Abstract
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.
