<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To visually, easily, and reliably verify whether a sample liquid has reached a target site in a capillary or not without damaging the appearing of an analysis tool. <P>SOLUTION: In the analysis tool 1 having a sample liquid introduction opening 51, the capillary for moving the sample liquid introduced from the sample liquid introduction opening 51, and a window section 43 for verifying whether the sample liquid has reached the target site in the capillary or not, an optically opaque region is set between the sample liquid introduction opening 51 and the window section 43. The target site is set to a site for verifying whether a required amount of liquid for measurement is supplied or not, for example, in the capillary. The analysis tool 1, for example, has the substrate 2 and a cover 4 joined to the substrate 2. In this case, the window section 43 is preferably formed by providing an optically transparent region at one portion of the cover 4 directly above the target site, and an opaque region around the transparent region. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO |
