Device for fluid processor and its fluid flow path setting device, fluid processor, and fluid processing method

Abstract

A device for fluid processor comprises a plate-shaped base material, a micro conduit network formed in the base material and formed of a first micro conduit and second micro conduits intersecting with the first micro conduit, a valve provided in each of conduit portions and a valve control mechanism. The valves in the conduit portions are closed, whereby a fluid running route is set, thereby forming a fluid processor that an intended processing is conducted by circulating a fluid through the running route. A fluid suspending cavity is preferably formed at each of the intersections of the micro conduits. A fluid running route setting apparatus is equipped with a conduit portion opening and closing mechanism having a function that individual valve control mechanisms in the device are driven, and the conduit portion opening and closing mechanism is driven by indication of fluid running route setting to a computer. A fluid processor may be provided with a stimulus application mechanism for applying stimulus to a fluid in the micro conduit or fluid suspending cavity in the device. In the fluid processor that a fluid to be processed is liquid, the running route for fluid process is set corresponding to objective processing time, the fluid to be processed is passed through a temporary running route, thereby finding passing time, and a corrected running route for fluid process is set by this time.
