Patent ID: 8470266

Claim:
A sample packing device for packing a sample with respect to a microchip for performing reaction of a micro component contained in the sample, the microchip at least comprising: a sample reservoir; a reaction reservoir; and a channel connected between the sample reservoir and the reaction reservoir, wherein a package comprising a sample chamber packed in advance with the sample is mounted on the microchip so as to pack the sample in the sample chamber into the sample reservoir, the sample chamber includes a film portion comprising an upper portion formed of an elastic body, the upper portion being bendable by an applied pressure from a medium, and the upper portion configured, in response to the upper portion being bent from the applied pressure, to extrude the sample in the sample chamber to an outside of the sample chamber, wherein, the sample chamber comprises a portion to be broken in a bottom portion, the portion to be broken is broken by a physical force applied from an outside when the package is mounted on the microchip so that the sample in the sample chamber flows into the sample reservoir provided to the microchip, the sample chamber is provided with a protrusion portion in a bottom portion, and the protrusion portion breaks the portion to be broken by the physical force applied from the outside when the package is mounted on the microchip.
