A chemical reaction cartridge includes a vessel having at least one part made of an elastic body, in which a plurality of chambers formed in the vessel so as to be connected or arranged connectably through a flow path, and an external force is applied to the elastic body from an outside of the vessel to move a fluid substance in the flow path or the chambers or in both the flow path and the chambers so as to perform a chemical reaction. At least a chamber into which the fluid substance is flowed has an air-release path which releases air from the chamber.

1. A chemical reaction cartridge comprising: a substrate; andan elastic body comprising a plurality of chambers formed therein and a plurality of flow paths connecting the plurality of chambers, the elastic body being configured to facilitate movement of a fluid substance through the flow paths and the chambers in response to an external force applied to the elastic body, to thereby perform a chemical reaction,wherein the substrate and the elastic body are adhesively bonded to each other in first regions, which are regions other than the flow paths and the chambers, and the substrate and the elastic body are not adhesively bonded but are only brought into contact with each other by an elastic force of the elastic body in second regions, which are regions comprising the flow paths and the chambers, the elastic body being adhesively bonded at the first regions and elastically stretched out across the second regions such that the flow paths and the chambers are configured to:take a first position in which a surface of the substrate and a surface of the elastic body directly contact each other at the second regions such that the flow paths and the chambers have zero volume before the fluid substance is moved by action of the external force, andtake a second position in which the flow paths and the chambers have a volume corresponding to the fluid substance moved into the flow paths and the chambers by the action of the external force. 2. The chemical reaction cartridge according to claim 1, wherein the plurality of chambers are arranged at regular intervals of a pitch,at least one of the chambers is a common chamber having a plurality of inlet flow paths into which different fluid substances are input, and at least one outlet flow path, andat least one of the chambers is a dummy chamber for adjusting a timing of transporting a predetermined fluid substance into the common chamber. 3. The chemical reaction cartridge according to claim 1, further comprising: an entrance for storing a predetermined amount of the fluid substance; anda sucking portion which sucks the predetermined amount of the fluid substance stored in the entrance, into an inside part of one of the chambers. 4. The chemical reaction cartridge according to claim 1, wherein at least one of the chambers is a common chamber having a plurality of the flow paths functioning as inlet flow paths into which two or more kinds of different fluid substances flow respectively, and at least two of the flow paths functioning as outlet flow paths, andwhen one of the fluid substances flows into or from the common chamber, an inlet flow path for another fluid substance and the outlet flow paths are blocked by the external force. 5. The chemical reaction cartridge according to claim 4, wherein the flow paths into and from which the another fluid substance flows are formed in positions to be blocked by an external force used for transporting the one fluid substance. 6. The chemical reaction cartridge according to claim 4, wherein the plurality of chambers have convex portions which are pressed down when the external force is applied, anda flow path for transporting the one fluid substance is formed in concave portions between the convex portions. 7. The chemical reaction cartridge according to claim 1, wherein at least one of the chambers is a common chamber having a plurality of inlet flow paths into which two or more kinds of different fluid substances flow respectively, and at least two outlet flow paths, anda plurality of flow paths passing through the common chamber are arranged in each of rear and front surfaces of the chemical reaction cartridge. 8. The chemical reaction cartridge according to claim 1, wherein at least one of the chambers is a common chamber having a plurality of the flow paths through which two or more kinds of different fluid substances flow into and from the common chamber, andthe flow paths of the common chamber are arranged adjacently and linearly with the common chamber as its center, andwhen one fluid substance flows into and from the common chamber, a flow path into which another fluid substance flows to flow into the common chamber is blocked by the external force. 9. The chemical reaction cartridge according to claim 1, wherein the plurality of chambers are arranged at regular intervals of a pitch,at least one of the chambers is a common chamber having a plurality of the flow paths functioning as inlet flow paths into which two or more kinds of different fluid substances flow respectively, and at least two of the flow paths functioning as outlet flow paths, andwhen one fluid substance flows into and from the common chamber, an inlet flow path into which another fluid substance flows is blocked by the external force. 10. The chemical reaction cartridge according to claim 9, further comprising a pressurizing portion, wherein a direction of movement of the pressurizing portion through which the external force is applied and a direction of one of the flow paths are different from each other. 11. The chemical reaction cartridge according to claim 10, wherein the direction of the flow path is at an angle of 90 degrees or lower with respect to the direction of the movement of the pressurizing portion. 12. The chemical reaction cartridge according to claim 9, further comprising a solid body formed on a side of the flow path,wherein an external force is applied on a part of the flow path so that a solid body forming portion blocks the flow path entirely. 13. The chemical reaction cartridge according to claim 10, further comprising a solid body formed on a side of the flow path,wherein an external force is applied on part of the flow path so that a solid body forming portion blocks the flow path entirely. 14. The chemical reaction cartridge according to claim 1, further comprising an implantable material that is provided in the second regions comprising the flow paths and the chambers between the substrate and the elastic body, wherein the substrate and the elastic body are brought into contact with the implantable material. 15.
