Abstract
In a cartridge for chemical reaction, there are provided an inner part in which a chemical reaction is caused by feeding a liquid in accordance with a deformation when an external force is applied, and a plurality of passages that are connected with each other, and the passages can be switched between an opened state and a closed state by the external force. Since the plurality of passages are connected together in the cartridge, the cartridge can be applied to various uses. The plurality of passages may be connected together in the form of a network. Wells may be provided at the junctions of the passages. When the external force is applied on the well, the liquid may be pushed out of the well through the passages connected to the well. A passage may be provided for introducing a sample into the cartridge from an external part of the cartridge.
