The present invention relates to an analysis tool ( 1 ) including a reaction space ( 6 ) for holding a sample liquid and in which a reagent portion ( 33 ) is disposed. The reagent portion ( 33 ) is constituted so as to dissolve when a sample liquid is held in the reaction space ( 6 ). Part of the reaction space ( 6 ) is defined by first and second surfaces ( 31 c and 5 a) opposite each other. The facing distance (H 1 ) between the first and second surfaces ( 31 c and 5 a) is no greater than 45 mum. The facing distance (H 1 ) is, for example, the minimum distance from the upper surface ( 31 c or 32 c) of a first or second electrode ( 31 or 32 ) to the portion ( 5 a) of a second plate ( 5 ) that faces the upper surface ( 31 c or 32 c) of the electrode ( 31 or 32 ).
