<p>A fluid mixer in which the spread in the direction of flow of a component to be detected is small and which can improve analytical precision of an analytical apparatus is achieved. A fluid flows in a +X-axis direction in a flow path (115) before branching and branches into a +Y-axis direction and -Y-axis direction flow at a branch flow path (116). The flow bends in the X-axis direction downstream, and the flow bends in the +Y-axis direction and -Y-axis direction further downstream. Even further downstream, the flow has a confluence and bends in the -X-axis direction. Furthermore, the flow bends in the +Z-axis direction even further downstream, and the flow bends in the +X-axis direction even further downstream. Even further downstream, the flow bends in the -Z-axis direction, and even further downstream, the flow bends in the +X-axis direction. The time a component to be detected, which is flowing inside a fluid mixer (921), is retained inside the fluid mixer (921) is identical regardless of the location of the inflow for the component to be detected on the inlet cross-section for the fluid mixer (921). Thus, the spread in the direction of flow of the component to be detected downstream in the fluid mixer (921) is smaller than upstream in the fluid mixer (921).</p> |
