Abstract
A chemical analysis apparatus comprises a motor, a holding disk that can be rotated by the motor, a plurality of examination cartridges arranged on the holding disk, a perforator that perforates the examination cartridges, a heating device, and a detection device. The examination cartridge comprises a substrate including a vessel and a flow channel, which are defined by recesses, and a cover that covers the vessel and the flow channel. A centrifugal force generated by rotation of the holding disk is made use of to move a solution from a vessel on an inner peripheral side relative to an axis of rotation to a vessel on an outer peripheral side relative to the axis of rotation through the flow channel.
