A three-pronged microchannel is fabricated in resin by UV laser ablation. A number of heat-hardened resin films are layered on a soda glass. A laser fabricates a part of the channel on each film for every lamination. The channels are 45 mu m in depth and 50-150 mu m in width. Through holes are made in the laminate film with a laser. Inlet pipes with reservoirs are inserted into the holes. A blood cell can be transported by gravity applied to it. The blood is led into the center of the channel with a sheath flow of solution from both side channels. Blood cells are then focused at the junction by controlling the height difference between a blood reservoir and the solution reservoirs.
