Abstract
The present invention removes an air bubble attaching to a detection part arranged in a concave portion on a wall surface in a flow path or an air bubble generated in the vicinity without requiring an external driving force, in a simple configuration. Specifically, the present invention includes: a liquid sample flow path for circulating a liquid sample; a detection part contained and arranged in a stepwise concave portion formed on an inner wall surface of the liquid sample flow path; and a projection part provided at a position facing to the stepwise concave portion on an inner wall surface of the liquid sample flow path, for generating a turbulent flow on a front side of an opening of the stepwise concave portion.
