Abstract
The invention relates to a method of producing an analytical tool having recesses () formed therein for moving a sample liquid, a base plate () made of polymeric material, and a cover laminated to the base plate () to cover the recesses (). This producing method includes the step of applying a hydrophilic treatment to the inner surfaces of the recesses (). The hydrophilic treatment includes a primary modifying operation for primarily modifying the properties of the inner surfaces of the recesses () by contacting a modifying gas with the inner surfaces of the recesses (), and a secondary modifying operation for secondarily modifying the properties of the inner surfaces of the recesses ().
