Abstract:
1. A fluid handling device comprising a plurality of rectangular planar-shaped strip plates on which a plurality of wells are formed in a single row, and a frame having a square planar-shaped space surrounded by four continuous side walls, the plurality of rectangular planar-shaped strip plates being detachably incorporated into the frame, thereby arranging the wells in a form of a matrix, wherein: the strip plate includes shoulder sections on one section end side and another end section side in a longitudinal direction that are placed on upper end sections of a pair of opposing side walls among the four continuous side walls, and a concave-convex engaging section that engages with a locking section formed on a side surface positioned on one of the opposing pair of side walls which faces the planar-shaped space that is surrounded by the four continuous side walls using concavity and convexity; and wherein when the strip plate is incorporated into the frame, the concave-convex engaging section engages with the locking section using concavity and convexity by the concave-convex engaging section deforming at least one side wall of the pair of side walls; and when the strip plate is removed from the frame, the engagement between the concave-convex engaging section and the locking section using concavity and convexity is released by the concave-convex engaging section deforming at least one side wall of the pair of side walls; and a slit is formed on the frame near a corner between at least one side wall of the pair of side walls and another side wall connected to the one side wall, so as to extend from an upper end section to a lower end section of the one side wall.
