An analysis device that includes a piezoelectric substrate having a pair of opposing principal surfaces; a groove disposed in one of the principal surfaces of the piezoelectric substrate and that forms a flow passage through which an analysis target flows; a first electrode disposed in at least a portion of a space inside the groove; and a second electrode disposed on another of the principal surfaces of the piezoelectric substrate so as to oppose the first electrode with the piezoelectric substrate disposed therebetween. A projection projects from a bottom surface of the groove, and at least one of the first electrode and an adsorption material is provided in a region extending from the bottom surface of the groove portion to a side surface of the projection.

A channel chip having a channel for running a fluid that is opened and closed by sliding on a film a sliding member slidable on the film while contacting with the film, the channel chip comprising: a substrate including a first channel, a second channel and a partition wall formed between the first channel and the second channel; a film including a diaphragm having a substantially spherical crown shape, the film being disposed on the substrate so that the diaphragm faces the partition wall; and a positioning section for holding the sliding member in such a way that the sliding member is slidable on the film while the positioning section positions the sliding member, the positioning section being disposed on the film.
