Abstract: A dispensing device, in a microfluidic device, includes branch channels branching from a main channel, and an air exhaust channel at branch channels ends. The main channel includes first in-channel resistant parts respectively near and on a downstream side of branching positions of the branch channels, and the air exhaust channel includes second in-channel resistant parts near merging positions. Each first in-channel resistant parts generates a greater surface tension disruption pressure than pressure generated by channel resistance from a branching position to a second in-channel resistant part.

Abstract: A dispensing apparatus including; a plurality of first accommodating units which are formed in communication with each other and which are configured to be able to divide and accommodate a fluid sample transferred by external force; a plurality of second accommodating units each configured to accommodate the fluid sample which has been divided into the plurality of the first accommodating units; and transfer means each configured to transfer the fluid sample, which has been accommodated in the plurality of the first accommodating units, to the second accommodating units.
