A flow path switching valve is provided, in which an impact due to the pressure change when a flow path is switched is prevented from being generated. (A) A rotor slot 1c allows an analysis infusion pump 11 to be connected to an analytical column 13, so as to form a flow path (condensing procedure). (B) The rotor of the flow path switching valve 1 is rotated clockwise for 30 degrees, the rotor slot 1c allows the analysis infusion pump 11, the analytical column 13, and a trap column 5 be connected. After the pressure in the trap column 5 is raised to the same pressure level as that of the analytical column 13, the pressure is stabilized, and the pressure difference between the two columns 5 and 13 is counteracted (high-pressure procedure). (C) After the pressure between the two columns 5 and 13 has been stabilized sufficiently, the rotor is further rotated for 30 degrees, and the trap column 5 and the analytical column 13 are connected in series, so the sample analysis can be performed (dissolution procedure and detection procedure).
