The present invention of collecting gaseous sample employs the sealable container, the inlet mounted at a part of the container, the outlet mounted at the other part of the container, the atomizing electrode mounted in the container, the primary refrigerator mounted at adjacent to the atomizing electrode, the opposite electrode mounted in the container, the acicular capture electrode mounted at adjacent to the opposite electrode, and the secondary refrigerator mounted at adjacent to the capture electrode. Charged microparticles are prepared by chilling gaseous sample and producing condensate of the same. Such charged microparticles are collected by the capture electrode with static electricity, and they are condensed by chilling them. This method prevents the capture electrode from spreading solution thereon.

A fluid chip has a liquid support 25 for supporting a liquid 24, a fluid passage 22 formed by being surrounded by the liquid support 25 and through which the liquid 24 moves, and a plurality of magnetic particles 21 disposed in the fluid passage 24. The magnetic particles 21 are aggregated by a permanent magnet 23 so as to block the fluid passage 22 and thus cut off flow of the liquid 24. The magnetic particles 21 are dispersed along a part of a wall of the fluid passage 22 so as to open the fluid passage 22 and thus allow the liquid 24 to flow.
