PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To simply inspect an amount of bacteria and cells contained in the sample solution.SOLUTION: An inspection device 1 for inspecting an amount of dielectric particles contained in a sample solution includes: a dielectric collection part 3; a pump part 10; and an AC voltage supply part 11. The dielectric collection part includes: at least a pair of electrodes: and a flow path 13 which extends in a predetermined direction on the pair of electrodes. The pump part sends the sample solution so as to advance on the flow path in the predetermined direction. The AC voltage supply part supplies the AC voltage of a predetermined frequency to the pair of electrodes so that the dielectric particles in the sample solution sent from the flow path brings about electrophoresis. The dielectric collection part has a plurality of slit regions arranged in the predetermined direction between the pair of electrodes. Each of the plurality of slit regions is separated from each other in the flow path.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】試料液中に含まれる細菌や細胞等の量を簡単に検査する。【解決手段】試料液中に含まれる誘電体粒子の量を検査する検査装置１。検査装置は、誘電体捕集部３と、ポンプ部１０と、交流電圧供給部１１とを備える。誘電体捕集部は、少なくとも一対の電極と上記一対の電極上に所定方向に延在する流路１３とを有する。ポンプ部は、上記流路を上記所定方向に進むように、上記試料液を送液する。交流電圧供給部は、上記送液される試料液中の誘電体粒子が誘電泳動を起こすように、所定周波数の交流電圧を上記一対の電極に供給する。上記誘電体捕集部は、上記一対の電極の間で上記所定方向に並んだ複数のスリット領域を有する。上記複数のスリット領域のそれぞれは、上記流路中において互いに分離している。【選択図】図１
