Original Abstract Submitted

An object is to provide a micro-analysis chip with which stable ion concentration measurement can be performed without increasing a chip size or prolonging a measurement time. In order to achieve this object, the following micro-analysis chip is provided. That is, provided is a micro-analysis chip when an average areal velocity which is an area of a region that a specimen has permeated during a period until a dispensed specimen reaches a reference electrode is represented by V1, and when an average areal velocity which is an area of a region that the specimen has permeated during a period until the dispensed specimen fills an inside of a first channel chamber after the dispensed specimen has reached the reference electrode is represented by V2, the average areal velocity V1 and the average areal velocity V2 satisfy a relationship of V1>V2.
