Claim Text:
1. A microchemical analysis system configured to mix heterogeneous solutions and make them react to thereby perform chemical analysis of one of the solutions, the microchemical analysis system comprising: a channel configured to merge and deliver a first solution and a second solution; a mixing pot that is interposed in a junction of the first solution and the second solution or in the channel after the junction, that bulges out from the channel to have a predetermined capacity, and that is configured to temporarily retain the first solution and the second solution to flow out a mixed solution which is formed by a mixture of the first solution and the second solution; a mixing acceleration part configured to apply a stirring force to the first and the second solutions temporarily retained inside the mixing pot; a monitoring part configured to monitor a degree of mixture of the first solution and the second solution within the mixing pot during an application of the stirring force; a mixing controller programmed to cause the mixing acceleration part to apply a stirring force, which is increased as a level of inhomogeneity of color tone is higher during the application of the stirring force; an analysis sensor configured to detect a result of reaction of the first solution and the second solution that flow out of the mixing pot; and a processing part configured to convert a result of reaction outputted by the analysis sensor into a physical quantity indicative of a chemical property of the solution.
