Abstract: Provided is a fluid handling device in which a fluid can fill not only a specific flow path but also a connection flow path branching from the specific flow path. The fluid handling device includes a main flow path, a first flow path, and a first connection flow path connecting the main flow path to the first flow path. The main flow path is a flow path into which a fluid A is introduced to fill the main flow path and the first connection flow path, and when the fluid A introduced into the main flow path flows from the main flow path into the first connection flow path, a Laplace pressure PL1 acting at an interface between the fluid A and a fluid B filling the first connection flow path in advance satisfies Condition 1. Condition 1 is PC>PL1, where PC is the internal pressure in a branching portion of the main flow path branching to the connection flow path, and PL1 is the Laplace pressure when the dynamic contact angle θ of the fluid A introduced from the main flow path into the connection flow path relative to an inner wall of the connection flow path is set to a value less than π.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a fluid handling device which can prevent an inclination of a rotary member. The fluid handling device includes: a substrate; a circular first groove disposed on the substrate; a second groove connected to the first groove; a third groove connected to the first groove; a film joined to the substrate so as to cover the first groove, the second groove and the third groove; and a joining area where the film and the bottom of the first groove is joined, the joining area being disposed between a connecting portion of the second groove and a connecting portion of the third groove in the first groove. The surface of the film in the joining area is located closer to the bottom of the first groove than the surface of the film in an area joined to the substrate of the film.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a fluid handling device which can prevent an inclination of a rotary member. The fluid handling device includes a substrate; an arc-shaped groove having a central angle more than 180° disposed on the substrate; a first protrusion located between both ends of the groove in the same circumference as the arc-shaped groove; a second protrusion disposed in the groove; and a film joined on the substrate so as to cover the groove, the first protrusion and the second protrusion. The groove closed by the film functions as a rotary membrane pump.
