Abstract:
1. A chemical reaction cartridge comprising: a substrate; and an elastic body comprising a plurality of chambers formed therein and a plurality of flow paths connecting the plurality of chambers, the elastic body being configured to facilitate movement of a fluid substance through the flow paths and the chambers in response to an external force applied to the elastic body, to thereby perform a chemical reaction, wherein the substrate and the elastic body are adhesively bonded to each other in first regions, which are regions other than the flow paths and the chambers, and the substrate and the elastic body are not adhesively bonded but are only brought into contact with each other by an elastic force of the elastic body in second regions, which are regions comprising the flow paths and the chambers, the elastic body being adhesively bonded at the first regions and elastically stretched out across the second regions such that the flow paths and the chambers are configured to: take a first position in which a surface of the substrate and a surface of the elastic body directly contact each other at the second regions such that the flow paths and the chambers have zero volume before the fluid substance is moved by action of the external force, and take a second position in which the flow paths and the chambers have a volume corresponding to the fluid substance moved into the flow paths and the chambers by the action of the external force.
