CELL USED FOR TREATING CELL

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To trap a cell at a specific place in a microchip by a simple means. SOLUTION: A minute flow channel groove 6 used as a flow channel for a liquid sample having a width and a depth of several hundred mm at most and holes 3 and 4 for introducing and discharging the sample are formed on one surface of a glass substrate 1. A cell culture chamber 5 comprised of a circular concave part having a depth almost equal to that of the flow channel and a diameter of about 1 mm is formed on a glass substrate 2. The surface of the substrate 1 where the flow channel groove 6 is formed and the surface of the substrate 2 where the cell culture chamber 5 is formed are faced to each other and adhered to be joined in a liquidtight manner. Thus, when a solution containing a cell is poured from the introduction hole 3, the solution flows along the flow channel groove 6 and the cell is let to flow toward the discharge hole 4 to be trapped in the cell culture chamber 5.
